Amanda’s son Joe Freeman is an actor like his Mum and Dad.
In February 2023 it was announced he would star in Everybody’s Talking about Jamie in Tunbridge Wells.
Everybody’s Talking about Jamie is inspired by the 2011 documentary Jamie: Drag Queen at 16.
It follows the story of 16-year-old Jamie Campbell who lives on a council estate.
Jamie is seen overcoming prejudice and bullying as he pursues his dream of becoming a drag queen.
Jamie wanted to attend his end-of-year prom wearing a frock and makeup.
His mum helped him by buying red heels and a dress from a shop run by a former drag queen.
However, Jamie’s father rejected his son and a classroom bully taunted him for pursuing his dream.
His school also stood in the way.

Not much is known about Amanda and Martin’s daughter Grace.

Martin has previously admitted he’s struggled with his children flying the nest.
He acknowledged it’s normal for his teens wanting to spend time without him but finds it difficult not to get upset by it.
He told the Radio Times:
“Me and their mum don’t live together so there are times where they’re inevitably going to not be with you, or when they say, “Maybe not this weekend.”
“It’s hard not to feel hurt when they start doing things that don’t involve you, even though you understand it and welcome it because it’s totally natural.”
