Martin Kemp, as told by Murray Scougall in an article entitled "Elvis gets to meet Winston Churchill as former Spandau Ballet star Martin Kemp picks his 10 fantasy dinner guests", and published in the Sunday Post's October 8, 2017 edition.

My first of ten fantasy dinner guests is Elvis, someone I first fell in love with when I was a kid but I wasn’t quite sure what it was I fell in love with. It wasn’t as much his music as his charisma – and I don’t think I really understood charisma until I saw him. I remember one Christmas as a kid I watched "Jailhouse Rock" and I couldn’t take my eyes off him. He was so charismatic that even in the scenes where he was in the background, it was him I paid attention to. For me, he was the one who always set the pace, so I would want him at my party.
