Gary Numan's wife Gemma on marrying her pop crush: 'I'd wanted to marry him since I was 10'

GARY NUMAN AND WIFE GEMMA TALK ABOUT THE UPS AND DOWNS OF MARRIED LIFE

She's living the ultimate fan dream - Gemma married her pop star pin-up since having a crush on him since the age of 10.

'I had my little dream come true. I wanted to marry him since I was 10,' Gemma explained on growing up and falling in love with Gary. 'I used to wish on my Dougal birthday cake every year. I had a careers talk at school, "What do you want to do when you leave school? I don’t need a a job I’m going to marry Gary Numan" - except he’s in debt.'

Gary, who revealed he was having money troubles at the time, admitted it was hard to live up to his showbiz persona when dating his wife.

'You can’t live up to any of that can you, they [the fans] have posters on their walls and it's all perfectly done. You look as good as you can, it's on stage and all lit up,' he said. 'Then you sit in a car with them. You’re telling stories and you try to be interesting but they’ve heard everything.'
