Martin Kemp and his wife Shirlie Holliman have been unmasked as The Masked Singer’s first duo. The Spandau Ballet bassist, 61, and his wife Holliman, 60, both found themselves in the bottom two as Cat & Mouse when they faced off against the masked character Knitting in the sing-off on ITV’s celebrity singing show.
Asked if their son, Capital Breakfast DJ Roman Kemp, knew that they had taken part, Holliman said: “No, this is going to embarrass him. Most people say they are doing it for their kids.” Kemp also said: “We’re doing it to embarrass them.”
Following the reveal, their son wrote on Twitter: “I just shouted the phrase ‘take it off’ to my parents I cant undo that #MaskedSingerUK.” He also wrote “are you ****ing joking” after the reveal.
