Capital Breakfast star Roman Kemp on his worst habit and best party trick
ROMAN Kemp hosts the Capital FM Breakfast show and came third on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2019.
Here, the radio DJ, 27, reveals how often he has sex and what makes him the most angry.
What scares you?
Cotton wool and frogs.
What is your favourite word?
Essentially. It’s quite a British word that I love hearing people use.
What is your worst habit?
Repeating myself and not letting things go. Like if the dog wees on the carpet, I will keep going on about it to my missus [Anne-Sophie Flury, 25, a neuroscientist].
Who or what is the love of your life?
Arsenal football club. I’ve loved it from the start of my life and will until the day I die.
How often do you have sex?
All my energy is spent in the day, so by night-time I just want to go to bed. But I’d say as often as possible. I’m an afternoon person.
What is your experience of grief?
I’ve lost a lot of people in my life. I’ve never been to a wedding, but I’ve been to a lot of funerals. I’ve lost close friends and grandparents. I’ve experienced grief very privately with my family, but also when it’s all over the news, which is very strange.
Who makes you laugh the most?
I would say my listeners in the morning. The texts that I receive are phenomenal.
What makes you angry?
A person who wants to embarrass someone else in front of others. I think that’s a really odd trait.
All-time favourite movie?
It’s a Korean movie called Oldboy. I watched it during a phase in my life that was very pretentious and I would only shop in the world cinema section of HMV.
What was your favourite TV show as a child?
The Simpsons. I’ve got a tattoo of Bart Simpson’s face.
Which public figure do you most admire?
Can I say my parents? [Martin and Shirlie, both 58].
Do you have a party trick?
People always ask me to do impressions. Other than that, I have a really big toe. My mum used to say it looks like someone had hit it with a hammer.
What’s the worst pain you have experienced?
I dislocated and snapped both my knees in the same move during a football game.
Tea or coffee?
I don’t drink hot drinks, but I like an iced coffee.
How do you relax?
I go to the gym. It resets my brain, always.
What has been your greatest achievement?
In February, my dad handed me a TRIC Award for Best Radio Programme and that was in front of people I have been watching on telly and listening to on radio my whole life. It’s got to be that.

What’s top of your bucket list?
Going into space. I’m genuinely serious. I’m oddly obsessed with space.
Who is your celebrity crush?
Emma Bunton. She was my first real crush.
Most famous person in your phone?
Either Harry Styles or Justin Bieber
