Spandau Ballet star Martin Kemp was rushed to hospital after a chainsaw accident.
The musician and actor, 64, injured his hand after picking up the tool by the blade to cut a piece of wood.
His son Roman Kemp revealed the accident took place on his own You About podcast.
He said his father had sent his family a photograph of his bandaged hand alongside a message saying ‘Yep…Chainsaw!!!’.
His podcast co-host Tom Grennan asked Roman: ‘What the hell has happened to your dad’s fingers? Because that looks like a horror film.’
Roman revealed he received the text from his father on Friday night.
He said: ‘I have just finished work, I look at my phone and my dad has sent a picture of his hand.
‘All his fingers are heavily strapped up and all he writes underneath in the family WhatsApp group is “Yep…Chainsaw!!!”.’
Roman and his sister Harley texted his father back asking for more information and received no replies from their father.
Eventually his father said: ‘Oh there was a bit of a branch that we wanted chopping down, so I went and got a chainsaw.’
Roman continued: ‘So that is my first issue. Why are you handling a chainsaw?
‘He is 65. He has got more than enough dough, get a professional in.’
According to Roman, his dad said: ‘I picked it up from the blade.’
The TV presenter, 32, said his father is lucky he is ‘not fingerless and handless,’ adding: ‘I know a mate who lost a finger through that.’
Singer Tom Grennan then joked: ‘Your mum would be fuming’
‘Yes because then he couldn’t play guitar,’ Roman joked.
Roman went on to say Martin ‘screamed’ and ran into wife Shirlie with blood pouring everywhere. He also revealed Martin then had to get a Tetanus shot after the injury.
