‘I haven’t been to bed!’ admits The One Show’s Roman Kemp as co-host Alex Jones is forced to step in amid show shake up
PRESENTER Roman Kemp admitted that he hadn’t slept between a game of the Euros and his shift on The One Show yesterday evening.
The show host was visibly excited over England’s recent win in the semi-finals, prompting Alex Jones to ask if he had watched the match.
Roman cheekily replied: “I haven’t been to bed…”
Then realising his parents would be tuning in to The One Show he quickly corrected himself, saying: “I have mum, sorry.”
His co-host jokingly hinted at the possibility of Roman being hungover, assuring him that she would handle presenting duties for the night.
After an attempt to steer the conversation away from football, Roman was quickly swept up in the frenzy again when Jermaine Jenas made a reference to England’s upcoming match in the Euro finals.
The football pundit grinned: “I hope we all get to say those magical three words on Sunday that I’m not going to be saying right now, but fingers crossed.”
Roman replied: “Ah, do you know what? I’m going to say the three magical words, it’s coming home.”
Alex told him off for jinxing the result, saying: “There you are you’ve done it now.”
But Roman backed his statement, retorting: “Come on, you’ve got to get behind them, the whole country is invested.”
Viewers have been left disappointed over the past couple weeks as The One Show got replaced with live tennis coverage during Wimbledon.
Roman and Jermaine have also gone missing from the studio, presumably as they deal with other sports related duties.
