Martin Kemp, 57, is one of the recent stars to join the Celebrity Googlebox line up alongside his son Roman, 26. The father-and-son duo sat down together where the pair discussed their family relationship when the former revealed he had two benign brain tumours removed in 1995. Speaking to Hello magazine, Martin said: "It’s always the people around you who suffer more. I was in the middle of it. “In fact I was quite enjoying it as I was on morphine for eight weeks. Happily addicted to opium.”

He continued: “It was the luckiest thing that happened to me.
“It wasn’t cancer but benign tumours they could take out. It could have easily been a flip of the coin and I wouldn’t be here today and that made me appreciate what I had."
His son Roman admitted he was too young to remember the health scare but said his mum, Shirlie Holliman, 57, did a good job of putting a positive spin on the issue.
He told the same publication: "She was like, ‘Right, how do we move on?’ To this day I don’t know how they got through it."
