But now in a recent episode of the duo’s new podcast F**! My Dad Is Martin Kemp, the pair discussed the topic of death. During the segment, the Spandau Ballet star revealed to his son how much longer he believes he has left to live following a brain tumour diagnosis in the early 1990s.

The elections held on Thursday, May 2 saw thousands of Londoners head the polls to have their say on who would be the next person to step into the role. After hours of vote counting, it was confirmed that Labour’s Sadiq Khan had won a record-breaking third term in the role. Khan won his first term as Mayor of London back in 2016 after former Mayor Boris Johnson chose not to go for re-election which later saw the once Conservative leader become Prime Minster. In 2021, after Mayoral elections were postponed a year due to the Coronavirus pandemic, Khan won his second term. Now, 2024...…The elections held on Thursday, May 2 saw thousands of Londoners head the polls to have their say on who would be the next person to step into the role.

Every day millions rely on the service to get around London and many use it without realising how important it is to their life.  Without it getting to work in the capital would be a nightmare and let's not even think about how the roads would be if the tube was no more.  Although many don't typically show their love for their handy London Underground, others are much more willing to be open about their love. For example, one entire Reddit thread is dedicated to the reasons why people admire the service so much.  The thread was begun by one user who shared that...…Every day millions rely on the service to get around London and many use it without realising how important it is to their life.  Without it getting to work in the capital would be a nightmare and let's not even think about how the roads would be if the tube was no more.  Although many don't typically show their love for their handy London Underground, others are much more willing to be open about their love.

Two Strangers (Carry A Cake Across New York) is possibly the most hilarious, clever, witty, entertaining and heartwarming show I’ve seen to date. Performed by just two talented actor and actresses, this modern rom com is London’s hottest must-see show – and I’ll be telling anyone and everyone to get tickets. The British musical has been extended by a further seven weeks and is now booking until August 31 instead of July 14 as previously announced. I’m telling you, that’s a blessing, because as many people as possible need to go and be made to laugh until they cry and smile until their...…Two Strangers (Carry A Cake Across New York) is possibly the most hilarious, clever, witty, entertaining and heartwarming show I’ve seen to date.
