Roman Kemp has watched his dad Martin Kemp have sex in TV shows and films - whilst sitting on the sofa next to him.
The former Spandau Ballet bassist has many acting credits to his name, including the 1992 romance-comedy film Daydream Believer, where he played Digby Olsen, the love interest of Nell Tiscowitz (Miranda Otto), and starred in EastEnders as Steve Owen, the spouse of Mel Owen (Tamzin Outhwaite) from 1998 until 2002.
But Roman, 32, was not fussed about seeing his dad's alter egos have passionate romps because he knew it was acting.
Asked by singer Tom Grennan, 30, about how he and Martin, 63, feel about watching sex scenes together on Celebrity Gogglebox, Roman admitted on the latest episode of their You About? podcast: "If there's a sex scene, then I'm watching it with my dad.
"Like, I don't care. Bro, I've watched my dad in sex scenes sitting next to him. Do you know what I mean? That's weird."
Roman has also watched his dad's characters die on TV - referring to Steve being killed in a car crash and explosion, following a high-speed car chase with Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) in EastEnders in 2002.

He added: "I've seen my dad die in different ways. I've seen him have sex with different people.
"It's weird. But also, at the end of the day, it's acting, and we know what's on the screen is acting."
Tom revealed he and his dad - also called Martin - have never shared a conversation about sex.
The Little Bit of Love hitmaker explained: "I've never had a conversation about sex ever with my dad.
"He's a Catholic Irishman. He'd be like shoo it off. He'd be like, 'No, no, no.'"
Roman sometimes "dreads" doing the star-studded version of the Channel 4 reality show - where celebrities and their friends or family members join them on the sofa and react to some of the hottest TV shows and films - because of Martin embarrassing him.

Roman explained: "I sometimes dread doing Gogglebox because he's about to say some absolute horrific s*** to me that I didn't know about to get a reaction from me.
"But we do laugh so much."

A Place in the Sun's Laura Hamilton, 43, reveals secret behind incredible figure from 5am workouts to Botox
Despite the pressures of being on screen, Laura believes looking good should be a personal choice Body Goals A Place in the Sun's Laura Hamilton, 43, reveals secret behind incredible figure from 5am workouts to Botox A PLACE in the Sun's Laura Hamilton has revealed the secret behind her incredible figure, from 5am workouts to Botox. Presenter Laura, 43, says early-morning gym sessions and weight training are now a regular part of her routine – and she's even built a gym in her home to stay on track. 6 A Place in the Sun's Laura Hamilton has revealed the secret behind her incredible figure, from 5am workouts to Botox Credit: @curvykate 6 She spoke to The Sun at last week's TRIC Awards Credit: Splash Speaking to The Sun at last week's TRIC Awards, she said: 'I was in the gym yesterday and I do lots of weights. I know loads of women in their mid-forties who are always talking about weights massively. "I was always into cardio, but since I ran the London Marathon, I've got more into weights.' Laura, who shares son Rocco, 11, and daughter Tahlia, 10, with her ex-husband Alex Goward, often squeezes in workouts before the school run. She said: 'I sometimes get up at 5am to do so. My friends and I joke that we're in the 5am club. I don't do it every day, but most mornings.' As she's moved into her forties, Laura says she's become more conscious about skincare and wellness – taking collagen and learning routines from her 10-year-old daughter. The TV personality said: 'She's so into skincare – I take tips off her, because I was never like that as a teenager.' Channel 4 star Laura also confirmed she has had cosmetic tweakments, admitting: 'Oh absolutely. I've had Botox before, and there's lots of people who do it, so whatever suits you. If you want to do something, then do it for you.' And despite the pressures of being on screen, Laura believes looking good should be a personal choice. She gushed: 'I love watching things on Instagram where you'll see someone who has had work done, and someone who hasn't. Whether you're on television or not, it's completely up to you.' Back in 2022, Laura opened up about being hailed a "pin-up" and how she often received X-rated messages. A Place In The Sun's Laura Hamilton stuns in a bikini after revealing she's cruelly trolled by claims she's had a secret boob job "I get some nice complimentary messages from people," she explained to The Daily Star during a Facebook Live. She then revealed that she was sent a rather X-rated snap. Laura explained at the time how she was sent a photo of one of her followers in a face mask, adding: "But let's just say it wasn't of their face." Speaking of being a pin-up, Laura gushed over how it's "really nice" to be dubbed as a "national beauty". Do's & Don'ts before and after Botox Dr. Aamer Khan reveals the do's and don'ts with Botox Do's Before Botox Consult a qualified practitioner with medical training and experience.

Coleen Nolan's sex confession as she signs up to unusual dating app after split
Coleen Nolan has been single since late last year and exclusively reveals what she thinks about dating again, and why she doesn't want anyone's 'toothbrush in her bathroom' again Loose Women legend Coleen Nolan has opened up about getting back on the dating scene after splitting up from her ex, Michael Jones, late last year. The TV legend had been dating her ex since 2001, but the pair decided they "would rather just stay friends," Coleen said, and they went their separate ways. After the split, Coleen said: "It's nothing to do with anyone else, it's nobody's fault. But I'm really busy and when I'm not really busy with work I'm busy on the farm and I feel personally that I can't give time to everything. We still get along great and hopefully we can continue to be friends, who knows?" While she's still officially single, Coleen said she'd "probably date again", but was waiting for the right time - and the right person to come along. "The men I meet are either married or gay, so I've no hope in the industry I'm in,' she exclusively told OK!. 'And I don't go out to bars, unless they're serving me a cup of tea.' For now, Coleen's focus is her farm - and 30-odd animals - as well as her new YouTube channel which gives viewers a glimpse of the highs and lows of living on a smallholding. With limited time for dating, Coleen doesn't rule out signing up to a dating app to find her perfect match. 'Apparently, there's one that's aimed at country folk, called Muddy Matches, so that'll be the one I try when I'm up for it,' she says. 'But whoever I date, I'm not sure I want their toothbrush in my bathroom. I've been in relationships my whole life and I'm enjoying having my house to myself, not worrying about anyone else." Coleen, who was once married to EastEnders actor Shane Richie, followed by musician Ray Fensome, says she doesn't' necessarily miss "sex", but the odd bit physical affection would be welcome. 'I do miss hugging and kissing, but not necessarily sex. That said, if I meet him and I fancy him, he's getting it! You can't beat a good snog and there's only so many times I can kiss my boxer dog's crinkly face.' Double dating with her Loose Women colleague Ruth Langsford, who separated from her husband Eamonn Holmes last year, is also not currently an option, she added. 'Ruth's definitely not going on dates yet. I'm trying to force her into it but she's not having it. And I think she'd be a terrible wingwoman — she'd be too severe and say, 'No, you're not right, get away!'"
