Martin Kemp, 62, predicts he has 10 years left to live as he tells his son Roman that his previous brain tumour diagnoses left him 'resigned to the fact that I was going to die'

Martin Kemp told his son Roman that his previous brain tumour diagnoses left him 'resigned to the fact that I was going to die' and predicts he has 10 years left to live.

Martin explained: 'I don't know how long I've got left but I will tell you, since I was the age of 34, when I went through all of that brain tumour scare, I spent two years of my life thinking I was going to die. The star revealed that in the midst of his recuperation, when he was still struggling with his brain function, EastEnders approached him with the role of Steve Owen. Martin accepted his now-infamous role as Steve Owen on EastEnders when he was at the height of his epilepsy battle post-tumours (with on-screen wife Tamzin Outhwaite in 1998)
