Roman Kemp says he and dad Martin won’t be able to do Strictly as ‘bad knees’ run in the family

They’re often asked whether they’d don their sequins to take part in the BBC dance show. 

And Roman Kemp has ruled out the possibility of himself and dad Martin of taking part in Strictly Come Dancing as he claims ‘bad knees’ run in the family.

Speaking to Ranvir Singh on Friday’s installment of Lorraine, the radio presenter, 28, dismissed any ideas of himself and his Spandau Ballet star dad, 59, joining hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman on the show.

No happening! Roman Kemp has ruled out the possibility of himself and dad Martin of taking part in Strictly Come Dancing as he claims ‘bad knees’ run in the family

Asked by guest presenter Ranvir, 43, if they’d ever don their dance shoes for Strictly, Roman replied: ‘ One, I don’t know how ready my dad will ever be ready considering his dad dance moves and also, do you know what, the Kemps have terrible knees. 

‘This isn’t an excuse, we have very very bad knees and I think it would just be horrendous!’

The Capital Radio host then held up his medical boot following his recent footballing injury as he said: ‘I’m so injury prone, I don’t think that I’ll be able to do it.’

Referring to his radio job, he then added: ‘With my show, I don’t think I’ll be able to fully commit to it!’

While Martin, who was in the Capital Radio studio with Roman, added: ‘I love the show but I don’t think it’ll be for me.’ 

Meanwhile, Roman doesn’t look like he’ll be dancing any time soon as earlier this week he was spotted hobbling to work at Capital FM using crutches after he snapped a ligament in his foot.

The presenter appeared to be struggling to walk on the first day of lockdown easing as he made his way to Global Radio Studios in London

It comes after the former I’m A Celebrity Star ruled out dating Emily Atack on Celebrity Juice last week.

It follows Emily making risqué comments about his father Martin Kemp, after host Keith Lemon suggested Roman court Emily, 31, after learning the Capital FM host was single. 

Despite Emily’s claims romance was off the cards as Roman refers to her as ‘mate’, Roman insisted it was down to racy comments the Inbetweeners star had made about his famous father in the past. 

Ouch: Meanwhile, Roman doesn't look like he'll be dancing any time soon as earlier this week he was spotted hobbling to work at Capital FM using crutches after he snapped a ligament in his foot

‘I say that [mate] to everyone,’ Roman insisted to Emily.

‘It may be more to the fact that last time I came on here you said you wanted to w*** off my dad. Might be that,’ he quipped as Emily burst into laughter. 

Keith had insisted that Roman and Emily ‘look good together’.

It was then that Emily goaded Roman’s side-splitting response by saying: ‘Roman does not fancy me, and I tell you why I know this, because he calls me mate when he says hello to me.’

Hilarious: Roman has ruled out dating Emily Atack, 31, after she made crude comments about his father Martin Kemp, telling her: 'You said you wanted to w*** off my dad'
