Martin Kemp’s daughter Harley Moon left her Spandau Ballet dad in tears after sharing an emotional tribute to him and her mum, Shirlie Holliman, 62. Most people are well acquainted with Martin’s son, TV and radio host Roman, 32, however, his eldest child Harley Moon prefers to stay out of the spotlight.

A talented director and musician, the 35-year-old posted to Instagram showing her parents’ raw reaction to a song that she had penned in honour of them called What Good Looks Like. She sat in the drivers seat of her car, with Martin, 63, in the passenger and her mum in the back seat.

Captioning the social media post, Harley emotionally wrote: “Recorded the first time playing my parents the song I wrote about them ‘What good looks like’.” She added: “They really have shown me what real love is and made me so full of strength and happiness. I haven’t found that kinda love yet… but I know it’s out there.”

The video showed the proud mum and dad listening intently to a recording of their daughter’s voice as she belted out lyrics including “my momma taught me how to be strong” and “daddy always knew how to love his little girl”.

Giving an insight into Martin and Shirlie’s relationship, the lyrics sang out: “My dad waits at the door when my mum gets home and they dance in the kitchen with no music on.”

Shirlie threw her hand to her face whilst listening and said: “Oh my God, I’m crying. That’s making me cry,” as Martin also quickly swiped away tears. When the song came to an end, he embraced his daughter in a warm hug.

Martin recently opened up about one fear for when either of his two children decide to get married. He told his wife that they “can’t be heartbroken” about the prospect of their children opting for intimate, private weddings away from the public eye.

Referencing their own low-key nuptials in St. Lucia back in 1988, with not a single guest in attendance, Martin, pointed out to Shirlie that their kids may follow suit. He said: “I can tell you, you won’t be [there].

“Roman will do exactly the same thing [as us]. Everything he does, he’s looked at, so he’ll want to go away. And we can’t be heartbroken because we’ll have no right to be.”
