Roman Kemp: Are You Really OK?

Product Information

Roman Kemp (born 28 January 1993) [2] [1] is a British radio host and television personality. Since 2014, he has presented the national radio network Capital FM and their own breakfast show since 2017. Kemp also presents The One Show on BBC One. In 2019, he finished in third place in the nineteenth series of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!. 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 shares all the experiences that have shaped him, and why love, marriage and having his own family one day are so important to his future dreams.” Roman has hosted a number of events, award ceremonies and fundraising gigs including the 2021 TRIC Awards, the Global Awards, and ITV’s Concert for Ukraine alongside Marvin Humes and Emma Bunton.

Now that he is mostly playing himself – in books, and in all those reality TV shows and presenting roles – he feels much better about being recognised. With the band he used to feel he was “never putting enough of me into it”. “Now it’s different,” he says. “Someone sees me and waves, that’s great. Am I coming into my own? I think I’m a lot more relaxed about life.” Boot Dreams: Now or Never – meet the players, presenter Roman Kemp and head coach Gifton Noel-Williams". www.bbc.co.uk.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.

They might need to set aside a few hours, because Gary features quite heavily. “I love Gary dearly,” Kemp says. He has a habit of reaching for an affirmation, especially a loving one, after saying something hard.

You would call it dysfunctional, except “it really worked”, he says. “It was easy for me and Gary. We loved each other underneath all of it. We could forget about it because we’d been doing it all our lives.” The book is at its best when Roman is being open about the mental health issues that he has faced, particularly about how he has coped with chemical depression. This was actually a very refreshing read. It was nice to see a young male be completely open and honest about his experience of mental health and depression. With suicide being the biggest killer amongst young men in the uk, this book was well overdue.From April 2021, Kemp and his father Martin Kemp are presenting Martin & Roman's Weekend Best!; a spin-off of Martin & Roman's Sunday Best!.

But then, in the pandemic, my best mate Joe took his own life and it turned my whole world upside down. Before that, Kemp says, pretty cheerfully, “I came second in everything”. We’ve been talking about his and Gary’s Porsches, which must have looked magical parked outside the family’s council house in Islington, north London. Gary bought first, and chose red. “Yeah, I was the blue one,” Kemp says, and all of a sudden he does sound blue. The red one was “the perfect 80s car”. There was verbal abuse, too. “If you imagine five boys in the playground, there’s always going to be one guy that’s going to take the brunt of the jokes.” In Spandau Ballet, Kemp says, that guy was the lead singer, Tony Hadley.Oh, it was “the most disappointing thing!” Kemp says. “I wanted my dad to say: ‘You can’t go out like that!’” But he never did. “Not once.”

Kemp is the son of actor and musician Martin Kemp and singer Shirlie Holliman. [3] [4] He has an older sister, Harley Moon (b. 1989). [4] The late singer George Michael was his godfather. [5] [6] Professor O’Connor agrees, and adds: “So if we’re trying to understand the fact that three-quarters of all suicides in the UK are by men, then we need to understand there are a whole range of factors – something’s impacting on your sense of masculinity or it could be social inequality. Kemp thinks he gets his approach from his own father, a printer, who was encouraging and nonjudgmental. In the early Spandau days, when Kemp was heading for the front door in a crimplene dress and makeup, he would call out: “Goodnight!” hoping to provoke his dad’s disapproval. But his dad would only glance up from his chair and say: “Have you got your keys?” It was a pleasure to be joined by Roman Kemp to give a fascinating internal talk as we round off our Mental Health Awareness Month. Roman spoke to a member of our Thrive network committee for a frank and open conversation about mental health and suicide. We heard from Roman about why he has become an advocate for mental health and Roman discussed topics such as masking his own personal experiences of suicidal thoughts. Thank you to Roman for such an engaging session. Indeed, Kemp’s favourite memory of Michael, who was godfather to Roman, was “one day, maybe about a year before he left us. And I was painting my living room. The night before, we’d gone out to dinner. He’d said: ‘Oh, I’ll come round tomorrow. I’ll help.’ So at the end of the day there’s me and George in these white painters’ hazmat suits with a glass of wine each, looking round at the job that we’d done … He was just a lovely man.”Prior to his presenting career, Roman was a successful model, working for the likes of Dropdead and Topman. In 2020, he teamed up with Topman to launch his own collection of bandanas in collaboration with mental health charity Mind. For a unique double act, why not book Roman alongside his father Martin Kemp; perfect for corporate awards events. In the documentary Roman Kemp: Our Silent Emergency, Kemp revealed that he came close to attempting suicide after battling with depression for 13 years. [26] Kemp is a supporter of Arsenal F.C.

Even though it did make me cry a couple of times, it also made me smile and laugh too, I liked how open and honest he was with it and writes just like he speaks. Very interesting and relatable at times. Liked how it was like a autobiography and self-help or a how to help your friends kinda book too.
