Martin Kemp recently shared a dramatic tale of being rescued by the fire brigade after finding himself stuck in an elevator for a whole hour just before a performance.

The 64-year-old musician took to Instagram on Saturday to recount the incident, explaining that he was unexpectedly delayed while en route to a concert in Falkirk.

In the post, Kemp appeared crammed into the tight confines of the lift alongside his production crew, all waiting anxiously for help to arrive.

The singer, 64, revealed in an Instagram post on Saturday that he was stranded for an hour when he was supposed to be on stage for a gig in Falkirk.

He could be seen squashed inside a small lift with his production team as they waited to be rescued.

In an effort to keep their spirits high, Martin playfully posed in the mirror before making each of his team laugh by going close up on their faces with the camera.

After 60 minutes, Martin could be seen squeezing out of the lift as one side of the door was removed.

Keeping the ordeal light-hearted, Martin shared the clip alongside the song Trapped by Colonel Abrams.

Alongside his post, he penned: ‘Stuck in a lift for an hour!! Before tonight’s gig at City Falkirk… but I still had fun# thank you so much Falkirk Fire Brigade for rescuing all of us!!!!’

Martin is currently on a Back to the 80s DJ tour across the UK, with dates scheduled from February through December.

Martin’s ordeal comes just weeks after he was kicked out of the I’m A Celeb jungle and made a dig towards his former Spandau Ballet bandmate Tony Hadley.

The musician was voted out of the ITV reality competition after he and Lisa Riley found themselves in the bottom two.

Speaking on Good Morning Britain, the star reflected on his time on the series, looking back over the chatter around the I’m A Celebrity campfire.

And he couldn’t help but make a cheeky jibe towards his friend and former bandmate Tony, 65, who took part in the show a decade ago, back in 2015.

Martin, who revealed he’d once auditioned to play James Bond in an episode of the reality show, began by telling hosts Adil Ray and Charlotte Hawkins that he would ‘rather be’ a Bond villain than the spy hero.

Asked who he thought would be a good Bond baddie, Martin flashed a cheeky smile and replied: ‘Maybe they could get Tony Hadley. You know what I mean!’

Spandau Ballet, which originally featured Martin and Tony, alongside singer Gary Kemp, sax player Steve Norman and drummer John Keenle, hit the height of fame in the 1980s thanks to hit songs Gold and True.

The band split in 1990, with Tony, Steve and John launching a legal battle against Gary, 66, over songwriting royalties.

While the band appeared to put the problems of the past behind them when they reformed in 2009 for a greatest hits tour, Tony once again quit the band in 2017.
