Martin Kemp Reveals Marital Intimacy Pressure on Loose Women

During a special Loose Women and Loose Men crossover episode, Martin Kemp candidly shared his thoughts on scheduling intimacy with his wife Shirlie Holliman, sparking laughter and surprise among the panel and audience. While dating expert Paul C Brunson advocated for penciling in time for intimacy or date nights to maintain connection, Martin expressed skepticism, stating he feels pressured by scheduled encounters and doubted their effectiveness. Martin humorously admitted feeling awkward about the idea of scheduled sex, especially on Sunday mornings, but acknowledged that couples could plan to simply eat together without explicitly scheduling sex. The discussion highlighted that many couples spend only about an hour together weekly, emphasizing the importance of quality time. When asked if he would try Paul's suggestion, Martin playfully agreed, joking about booking it live on air and telling his wife to get ready. Martin and Shirlie have been married since 1988, having met when she performed with Wham! on Top of the Pops.
