Shirlie Kemp has revealed how she will celebrate with husband Martin when he returns home after his I’m A Celebrity stint.
The Spandau Ballet star, 64, is in the Australian jungle for his second week and has not held back when talking about their marriage – including sharing a racy bedroom confession.
In a new interview, Shirlie, 63, said she has grand plans for their reunion and that Martin made one request before he left.
‘Before Martin headed off to the jungle he asked me if I could plan a huge Christmas party for his return,’ she told The Sun.
‘I love an excuse to host our family, friends and neighbours so I’ve been keeping myself busy in planning mode. Martin will no doubt be starving when he returns home so I’m going to ensure the party is well-catered.
‘I’m going to go all out with decorations, music, food, cocktails and all of our favourite people at home with us to celebrate his return.’

Shirlie said it feels like her family are taking over TV at the moment as her two children Roman, 32, and Harley, 36, are on Celebrity Race Across The World.
It comes after Roman was not amused by his father after watching Sunday’s show.
Martin led the group in some very racy campfire chat, revealing the sex position that he and Shirlie used to get pregnant.
The musician told his celeb campmates that before they got married the couple were trying to get pregnant, but were unsuccessful because Shirlie had endometriosis.
He recalled Shirlie’s mother asking them a very X-rated question as they sat in her living room one day. ‘Now have you tried the wheelbarrow?’ she asked.
Martin then proceeded to stand up and demonstrate the position before Ruby Wax also tried it out as the camp erupted into laughter. But watching from home, Roman was not amused.
The presenter voiced his outrage on X, sharing a meme of Homer Simpson pouring bleach in his eyes alongside the caption: ‘My dad’s talking about “wheelbarrowing” with my mum…#ImACeleb’ before asking ‘Banter aside. wtf.’
Sunday night’s show also saw Martin let slip several details about his low-key 1988 nuptials to Pepsi & Shirlie singer Shirley.

A year after Martin and Shirlie tied the knot in St Lucia, they welcomed their daughter Harley Moon, 35, into the world in 1989, followed by the birth of son, Roman, in 1993 (seen in 1998)
Conversation in camp turned to marriage, with Vogue Williams talking about how she’d been married to Spencer Matthews for eight years.
This prompted Martin to say he had been married for coming up to four decades.
Describing their wedding day to his campmates, he said: ‘I got married in St Lucia on a clifftop overlooking the Caribbean with just three people’.
He joked the ceremony was so basic ‘if you looked into it more you’d find we’re not married!’
Giving the secrets to his long-standing marriage in the Bush Telegraph, Martin said that the bedrock of their relationship was friendship: ‘Shirlie is everything for me, everything I do in my life, I do it for her.’
