The Kate Middleton fit thing was genuinely an accident,” insists Roman. “It was about the terminology for the dress!

I was like, ‘Yeah, it looks fit.’ I’d just finished a whole live broadcast and we’d had a few drinks then all of a sudden Whilst I’ve seen Roman in programmes such as DNA Journey and the documentary he did on mental health and suicide, I don’t listen to Capital Radio and so that side of his story was interesting to me. And I know of his parents and enjoyed their music but they were necessarily a family I followed (figuratively of course), but it was a real eye opener learning about them as people rather than just their names.This was a really great read. I watched Roman and started to become aware of him after I'm a Celebrity. I'm not a big Capital radio fan so wasn't aware of him as such but knew who he was because of his Dad mainly, but it's clear he doesn't really like people to associate him as for who his parents are and actually he turned down an offer to go in I'm a Celeb 3 years previous because he felt he hadn't made himself enough of a character and a place in the world and people would just know him as Martin Kemp's son, which is very admirable. A year later, during the pandemic, Roman’s best friend, Joe Lyons – the producer who’d nurtured his career – took his own life aged 31. In August, on the second anniversary of Joe’s death, Roman got a tattoo on his arm of a dove. He already had a bird tattoo on his leg to match one that Joe had. I promise it’s not all heavy going or doom and gloom… there will be a few moments that make you laugh along the way,” he added. In 2019, Roman won over yet more fans coming third in I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, with his uncanny impressions of everyone from Ant and Dec to his mate Harry Styles.

When I lost Joe to suicide, I was so confused. What do you mean he’s killed himself? He was happy, he was Mr Steal Yo Girl, the life and soul of the party! I couldn’t understand how my friend who was there for me when I would tell him about my own suicidal thoughts, and my life taking antidepressants, had been able to keep such a secret from me. Then, in 2019, Roman won over yet more fans coming third in I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, with his uncanny impressions of everyone from Ant and Dec to his mate Harry Styles. Here, for the first time, Roman’s ready to reveal the things that weren't captured on camera, and how his time in the jungle changed his whole outlook on life.

Roman says his new book reveals the things that weren't captured on camera, and how his time in the jungle changed his whole outlook on life. Dystopian Fiction Books Everyone Should Read: Explore The Darker Side of Possible Worlds and Alternative Futures I would recommend this book to anyone, whether you yourself are dealing with a mental health crisis, or a friend or loved one is, or if you just want some advice in case the situation arises. It’s not preachy, he doesn’t pretend to know everything, but you can tell he wants to use his friend’s death to make sure no-one has to go through the same thing. It’s at this point Roman wants to clear up another issue. The duo made headlines when they swapped manscaping tips on Channel 4’s Celebrity Gogglebox in June after watching Naked Attraction. Martin said he uses Not hosting famous types. They didn't throw parties, they're just not ­extravagant people like that.

This is going to be really controversial but Starman by David Bowie. [Sings] “There’s a staaar-MAN! … ” Oh, God, shut up! Does everybody actually like it, or do they just pretend to like it? Put it this way: I love everything that David Bowie stood for, I think it’s fantastic; I can see that he was a trailblazing artist. My dad is a big Bowie fan. However, it’s one of those where I listen to it and I’m like: “Is this it?” I’m yet to hear one David Bowie song that makes me go: “Yes, phenomenal.” Is it so many different styles, or is it just a bit boring? I’ll level with you on one: I like Let’s Dance, but that’s just a Nile Rodgers record. The whole family still misses him, says Kemp, particularly his mum, for whom Michael was nearer a brother than a friend. But they try to think of Yog with “pride rather than sadness”. Roman is clearly living a highly privileged life and I don't begrudge him that. That being said it doesn't put him in a good position to write a book on the subject of mental health for the masses. Possibly the best part of the book I read was that in which he shares his experiences of his friend and colleague dying by suicide. This is real and an experience that cuts across class divides. That being so folk in Roman's position are very much better equipped to cope with loss since access to mental health support in the UK and much of the world depends, to a large extent, on how wealthy you are. Roman simply can't speak to the experiences that the majority of those struggling with mental health face and as such the book perpetuates the narrative that if we all just got our mates talking a bit more or went for an extra walk everything would be alright. You will find yourself entertained and educated and you’ll be laughing and crying. It is a real rollercoaster of emotions - which, at the end of the day, is what makes us human. Ideally we want to live in a world where there is no suicide, there is no mental health crises; but that won’t happen, and it’s people like Roman who are using their position to help make things a little easier in the meantime.Joe’s mother, Celia, wanted to be part of the film and I was so grateful that she did. There’s been a common feeling among people that suicide should never be referred to as a “selfish act”. But Celia voiced the harsh but true reality: “You’re not ending that pain, you’re passing it on forever to those who love you. So please stay, don’t go.” Then, in 2019, Roman won over yet more fans coming third in I?m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, with his uncanny impressions of everyone from Ant and Dec to his mate Harry Styles.

Roman - thank you for a book that covers mental health without being statistical and/ or regimented, but being real and honest.TW: This article focuses in some depth on the subject of suicide, so please be advised if you think this might be triggering for you. The lifelong Arsenal supporter grafted his way to Capital?s highly coveted Breakfast slot - and pulled in record-beating listeners with his cheeky sense of humour. Who else could convince Ed Sheeran to tattoo Roman?s leg on air, drive around London playing cab-roulette with James Corden, get Craig David to freestyle rap, or rope Lewis Capaldi into a life-drawing class?
