Jungle evictee Martin Kemp has taken aim at his former Spandau Ballet bandmate Tony Hadley after getting the jungle axe\"martin.Martin couldn’t help but get a little dig in at his former Spandau bandmate(Image: James Gourley\/ITV\/Shutterstock)<\/p>\n

I’m A Celeb<\/a> star Martin Kemp<\/a>, who became the sixth celebrity to be evicted from the ITV<\/a> reality show on Thursday night, seemed to take a swipe at his former bandmate Tony Hadley as he talked about his jungle stint.<\/p>\n

Appearing on Good Morning Britain<\/a> to talk about getting his jungle marching orders, it seems Martin, 64, just couldn\u2019t help himself – and made a mischievous comment about his former pal Tony Hadley<\/a>, 65.<\/p>\n

As the father-of-two opened up about I\u2019m the jungle, he was discussing the moment he revealed around the campfire that he had once auditioned for James Bond<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He confessed to hosts Adil Ray and Charlotte Hawkins <\/a>that he would actually \u201crather be a Bond villain\u201d and as they discussed all things 007, hinted at who he thought might make a good bad guy in the iconic franchise.<\/p>\n

In a cheeky swipe at his old bandmate he said, \u201cMaybe they could get Tony Hadley\u201d before adding to host Adil, smiling mischievously,\u201cYou know what I mean!\u201d<\/p>\n

Tony and Martin have famously had beef for years<\/a>, and it came to a head after Spandau Ballet split for good in 2017 after a huge fallout with Tony, who left to pursue a solo career, to the reported upset of the rest of the group.<\/p>\n

But their \u2018feud\u2019 began after their first split in 1990, amid a bitter court battle over royalties which saw frontman Tony \u00adrefusing to speak to Martin and his brother Gary for years.<\/p>\n

In 2009 the band made up and reunited, to the delight of fans – but it wasn\u2019t to be, as Tony eventually decided he\u2019d had enough and was branching out alone.<\/p>\n

Tony, who is gearing up for a Christmas<\/a> tour, told The Mirror<\/a> a few years ago that “you could offer me all the tea in China and I wouldn’t get back with them” – adding that the only former bandmate he remains in touch with is saxophonist Steven Norman.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the jungle – where viewers had noticed he was given few trials <\/a>and seemed to fly \u2018under-the-radar\u2019, Martin, whose son, radio DJ Roman came third on the show in 2019, said his favourite element was \u2018the other people\u2019.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cSitting around and talking. I\u2019m not one for making new friends<\/a>, it\u2019s the first time I\u2019ve done it in years and I\u2019ve loved it. I feel like, coming out now, I\u2019ve done it, done everything I wanted to do, I\u2019ve experienced it and I\u2019ve got some good anecdotes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked after his elimination by Ant & Dec how he felt about being labelled the \u2018camp dad\u2019 by his co-stars he said: \u201cI suppose\u2026 I always felt like I was a little bit on the outside, a little bit calmer than everyone else through no other reason than life experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cI told them a few stories that kept them busy and they enjoyed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked for his prediction for the jungle winner, he said quickly it had to be former EastEnders<\/a> star, Shona McGarty – who has sparked romance rumours down under in flirtatious scenes with Manchester rapper, Aitch<\/a>.<\/p>\n
