Martin Kemp has revealed that the late George Michael got him his role as Steve Owen in EastEnders, with the Careless Whisper singer demanding he wear one of his jumpers on the show in return.
Speaking on his show Martin and Roman's Weekend Best on Saturday, the Spandau Ballet star, 59, recalled how George, who passed away in 2016, was a huge fan of the BBC soap and orchestrated him landing the part of the Walford bad boy.
Martin, whose wife Shirlie Kemp (née Holliman) starred with George in Wham! in the 1980s, told how George 'loved' him wearing his clothes on the BBC soap after he had 'snuck' on a jumper.
