Roman Kemp shares baby plans as he calls dad Martin ‘Grandad’

He'd make the best grandad tbh!

| Updated:

Roman Kemp previously shared his hopes that his dad Martin – formerly the bassist in Spandau Ballet – will be a very hands-on grandfather.

The showbiz star has been a firm favourite with the nation for years. From hosting his own radio show to an I’m A Celeb stint and becoming a full-time presenter on The One Show, Roman is definitely booked and busy.

But recently he hinted at welcoming a brood in the future, as he discussed his close relationship with his dad.

Roman Kemp reveals hopes for family in future

Aside for his solo success in the showbiz and telly world, Roman has also worked with his famous dad Martin a few times too. The father-son-duo have starred on Celebrity Gogglebox and even hosted their own breakfast show, Martin and Roman’s Weekend Best in 2020.

I know how much I’m going to love my kids and my family watching that footage of me and their grandad working together.

And Roman previously revealed his hopes to have a family of his own one day. So much so, that the idea motivates his close relationship with his popstar dad.

‘I’m so lucky’

“My dad and I get to work with each other all the time, and I’m so lucky for that,” he gushed to Hello! earlier this year.

Roman added: “The reason we work together is that I know how much I’m going to love my kids and my family watching that footage of me and their grandad working together – and that’s just our relationship.

“I genuinely feel like I’ve won the lottery with my family. We constantly talk to each other, on the phone, every day. It’s constant.”

Plan to ‘shut away from everything’

His comments came after Roman revealed his plans to step back from work in 2024 and “shut away from everything”.

“In 2024 I’m trying to tone it down a bit in terms of work. Next year is personal well-being – that’s the goal!” he said.

Although, as quiz show fans will know, he’s currently on screen every week day with his very own gameshow, The Finish Line!

The Finish Line is on weekdays at 4.15pm on BBC One.
