Speaking on the album Martin said ‘It’s brought us even closer’, ‘what they did in the 50s with swing was they made love songs that made you happy. In his last year with Anna Scher, he won a role in The Glittering Prizes, appearing alongside Tom Conti and Nigel Havers. Speaking on Lorraine, Martin and Shirlie revealed they made the album over the summer, with the record going on pre-sale today. This album is wholly upbeat, even the potential ballads (A Nightingale Sang,The Way You Look Tonight) are swung.

Shirlie adds: “Uber wasn’t around in those days, so Martin and I would walk in the moonlight all around London. Roman, who has recently been announced as a contestant in the latest series of I’ m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Being Christmas, Sir Rod did remember to include one turkey, bizarrely teaming up for a duet with Robbie Williams on It Takes Two. Swing music is a world away from the sounds of 80s pop, but the couple say they have always been fans of that genre. Shirlie added, “I feel happy when I listen to this music; I hope people dance and sing along to the album when they are in their homes, doing the cleaning or cooking the Sunday roast.S: It’s traumatising to walk into an intensive care unit and see someone you don’t even recognise because they’re so poorly. Not because their swing album In The Swing Of It isn’t any good – it’s actually one of the happiest LPs of the year.

For someone who had such a successful career she is refreshingly honest about her feelings at being back in the limelight.After Lee left to join the Style Council and later marry its lead singer Paul Weller, she was replaced by "Pepsi" DeMacque, and this duo performed on all the Wham! The thing I didn't like about being in a band was the chase up the charts, worrying what number you were and worrying what people thought of it.

It was around this time that Martin fell ill, with two brain tumours meaning he was unable to work for four years.M: So when Harley came along it was really special, and Shirlie downed tools and said: “OK, I’m a mum now”.

My daughter not only wrote two songs, but she photographed us for the album cover, she made all the video and she filmed the whole making of the album," Shirlie reveals. Giving a nod to what their late friend George Michael would have thought about the album, Shirlie said: “He would love this, he would be annoyed he didn’t think of it. The duo also re-united to perform for the ' Here and Now 10th Anniversary tour' which began on 24 June 2011. I just couldn’t understand the concept, but I was there because George wanted someone he could trust. It's easy to imagine this wholesome couple dressed in co-ordinated outfits while they perform duets such as Ain't That A Kick In The Head and How D'Ya Like Your Eggs In The Morning.What we have as a couple is rare,” acknowledges Shirlie, sat with Martin in a meeting room at their record company Sony.
