Roman Kemp: Are You Really OK?

Capital FM DJ Roman Kemp was born into showbiz royalty nearly 30 years ago - his dad is Spandau Ballet's Martin Kemp and mum is Shirlie - of Pepsi and Shirlie - Holliman. Roman's Godfather was George Michael - a beloved uncle figure he was due to meet just as his untimely death was announced.

But Roman hasn't coasted upon his connections - nor has he had an easy ride. He's battled depression since the age of 15, once contemplated suicide, and has bravely fought to smash the stigma still surrounding medication and mental health.

The lifelong Arsenal supporter grafted his way to Capital FM's highly coveted Breakfast slot - and pulled in record-beating listeners with his cheeky sense of humour. Who else could persuade Nicole Scherzinger to milk a goat live in air, Craig David to freestyle rap, or land one of Stormzy's first ever interviews?

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 the camera, and how his time in the jungle changed his whole outlook on life.

During the pandemic Roman's life was brutally thrown into darkness, when his best friend - the producer who'd nurtured his career every step of the way - tragically took his own life. Amidst the shock, loss and confusion, Roman wept as he made
a moving BBC3 documentary about the alarming rates of suicide amongst young males. He's well aware he too, could have been a statistic.

In his page-turning first ever book - peppered with hilarious and surprising anecdotes from his youth - Roman unflinchingly tackles the taboo of suicide, 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.
