George Michael ended Martin and Shirlie Kemp's planned US move after 'big argument'
Despite it being “a while” since they all lived together in Hertfordshire, Martin recently explained that although the experience is known to most parents as “empty nest syndrome”, he believes it is better described as “empty heart syndrome”.While discussing where his home is in a new interview, the former EastEnders actor candidly said: “I grew up on the Essex Road when it was kind of left-over bomb sites from the Second World War.“But my home now is Hertfordshire — just me and Shirlie [Holliman], it’s been a while since the kids lived at home.“They call it empty nest syndrome, but I think it should be called empty heart syndrome.“I’ve also got a place in Nine Elms in Battersea for when I’m in London for work.”Further emphasising his sweet relationship with his children, Martin revealed how he chose to celebrate his milestone 60th birthday “just the four of us”.When quizzed on the best meal he’s had, the dad-of-two divulged: “My favourite restaurant by miles is The Ivy Chelsea Garden on Kings Road, the most beautiful restaurant in London.”“We recently went for my 60th birthday — just the four of us: me, Shirlie, Harley and Roman,” the star added to the Evening Standard.
