Celebrity Gogglebox regular Roman Kemp has already tackled the Australian jungle in I’m A Celebrity… and now has his sights set on Strictly Come Dancing. But there’s one condition – he has to dance in a same-sex partnership.
The Capital Radio DJ says he’d consider swapping the studio for the ballroom but doesn’t want to get embroiled in a “soap opera” about whether he’s doing more than just dancing with his professional partner.
As the son of Spandau Ballet bass player Martin Kemp, the 30-year-old broadcaster is bound to have a few funky moves up his sleeve, but we might have to wait a while to see them.
“The only way I’d do it is if I was teamed up with Johannes [Radebe],” he tells new in an exclusive chat. “I think sometimes the show takes away from the skill of the dancers and the skill of the dancing in the show and it becomes like a soap opera of who’s dating who.”
The hit show has become famous for its scandals over the years, particularly when it comes to the so-called ‘Strictly curse’ – in which some contestants’ real-life relationships have crumbled as they get up close and personal on the dance floor with their professional partners. For Roman, the thought of being the subject of the same headlines is enough to put him off signing up, for now at least.
