Roman Kemp ‘lined up for huge reality show after quitting Capital radio and being replaced by Jordan North’ say bookies
ROMAN Kemp has been ‘lined up for a huge reality show after quitting Capital radio according to bookies.
The DJ announced he is quitting his radio role after six years on Monday.
Many fans have been desperate to know what Roman‘s next gig will be – and betting company Coral think that they know exactly what.
They have dropped the odds of him appearing on the upcoming series of Celebrity Big Brother from 4-1 to 2-1.
The gambling site think that there is a high chance he’ll be part of the line-up.
Coral’s John Hill said: “Roman Kemp has announced he is leaving Capital’s Breakfast Show and many punters believe he will head straight into the Celebrity Big Brother house.
“We make the presenter odds-on to be one of the contestants on the return of the celebrity show.”
The highly anticipated series of CBB returns to our screens Monday March 4 2024.
AJ Odudu and Will Best will host the show and it will air on ITV‘s main ITV1 channel, rather than ITV2.
It comes after Roman announced the massive news he had quit Capital after joining back in 2014.
He said live on air: “I’ve got quite a big announcement and it is one that is really weird to say out loud.
“It’s really odd, to be honest I had no idea how I start this. So I’ll come out and say it.
“This is going to be my last six weeks on Capital. Which is a weird thing to say.”
He continued: “What I can tell you is I’m not saying goodbye right now, I’m not leaving the show today and that’s it, but it’s not far away.
“It will come and that goodbye will come in five to six weeks.
“It’s not a decision that has come overnight either, it’s massive, I’ve not found it easy at all.”
Last Friday it was revealed that Jordan North was signing a big money deal to join the Capital FM Breakfast team after quitting Radio 1.
Jamie Laing has been signed as his replacement.
Jordan finally confirmed that he is replacing Roman on Capital Breakfast today.
Appearing on the show this morning, he said: “I am beyond excited to be joining Global and to wake up the nation every morning on Capital.
“I can’t wait to start working with the amazing team here and get stuck in, to create the most fun and entertaining breakfast show.
“Getting to host Capital Breakfast has always been a dream of mine and it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity that I simply couldn’t turn down.”
Roman is also presenting this year’s Brit Awards alongside Maya Jama and Clara Amfo.
“When they told me, I cried,” said Roman.
“The BRITs has always been on this pedestal for me, because in terms of excitement in the UK, there is nothing like it.”
