Martin Kemp is said to be inconsolable after losing both his parents in the space of 48 hours.

The actor's dad Frank, 79, suffered a fatal heart attack last week.

And his mum Eileen, 77, died after a heart bypass at the same Bournemouth hospital two days later.

A joint funeral for the couple, who were married 55 years, is expected to be held this week.

Martin, 47, played Steve Owen in EastEnders.

He and his actor brother Gary, 49, starred together in the 1990 film The Krays.
