‘Thanks for the early morning tears’

It’s fair to say the advert appeared to work, as plenty of Martin’s fans were left overcome with emotion, especially seeing his personal videos.

“I loved this video and cried when I saw the old videos of Shirlie and you who built a family, and it wasn’t just for that reason.. your words were beautiful and amazing,” said one person.

Someone else added: “Made me cry well done.”

A third then penned: “Well that was bloody amazing thanks for the early morning tears Martin. What a beautiful AD.”

Martin and wife Shirlie

It comes after Martin revealed a shocking truth about his marriage to wife Shirlie during an appearance on Good Morning Britain.

While on the show in June, Martin seemed to ponder whether his marriage might actually be legally binding.

He recalled: “Shirlie and I, we got married in St Lucia on a cliff top overlooking the Caribbean. It was beautiful.

“But there was one lady there. The ceremony was about as quick as: ‘Martin, do you love Shirlie?’ – ‘Yes’. ‘Shirlie, do you love Martin?’ – ‘Yes.’ ‘You’re married!'”

Amid all the excitement, Martin apparently remains unsure whether they fulfilled all the necessary nuptials admin.
