Martin Kemp captivated I’m A Celebrity fans as he made his grand entrance into the jungle on Sunday night. The 64-year-old, best known as the guitarist for Spandau Ballet and a popular EastEnders actor, is following in his son Roman’s footsteps—Roman finished third on the ITV show in 2019.
On the launch episode, Martin expressed his determination to go even further than his son, declaring, “The pressure is on me to do a bit better than that! I’d love to say I don’t wanna win, but I do…”
Making a dramatic arrival by jumping out of a helicopter to greet hosts Ant and Dec, Martin sparked a wave of adoration across social media. Fans quickly dubbed him a “silver fox” and eagerly anticipated seeing him in the much-talked-about jungle shower scenes.

In an interview ahead of the show, Martin revealed he won’t shy away from the jungle shower experience. “I hope I get a Jungle shower moment,” he said. “I haven’t had time to work it out, but I won’t be avoiding the Jungle shower, let’s put it that way.”
Fans took to X to express their admiration for the ’80s heartthrob. One user proclaimed, “Martin Kemp is still a silver fox, confirmed #imaceleb.” Another commented, “I mean Martin Kemp is still a very attractive man,” while someone else gushed, “Martin Kemp is so gorgeous. Those eyes. Only ever seen such stunning eyes like that before on Paul Newman.”
The compliments kept coming, with one viewer asking, “So we all agree that Martin Kemp is an objectively SEXY MAN, right?” and another shouting “MARTIN KEMP DILFFFF #ImACeleb.” Many are already eagerly awaiting his jungle shower scenes, and some even humorously inquired about his relationship status.
Martin Kemp has clearly won over the jungle and the fans alike as this season of I’m A Celebrity gets underway.
