Spandau Ballet star Martin Kemp believes he once dodged death thanks to, erm, a voice inside his head.
Taking a trip down memory lane, the 80s pop heartthrob insists the strange but True incident occurred when he was a kid. Martin, 63, recalled: “I must have been about 12 years old, and I was walking to school. I came out my front door and stopped by a roadside.

“As I shook his hand, I started to do the sideways crab. I fell over and landed up against the wall. He just looked down at me and tutted.”
