Martin Kemp Reveals George Michael Got Him Job On EastEnders… On One Condition
The Wham! star was a huge fan of the BBC soap.
Martin Kemp has revealed he had George Michael to thank for bagging the role of Steve Owen on EastEnders.
The Spandau Ballet star played the dodgy businessman between 1998 and 2002, but it only came about because the Wham! singer pulled some strings with one of the show’s producers.
But there was also a condition that George - who was a huge fan of the BBC soap - insisted upon.
