I keep reliving the day Joe died.. I need timé to leave it behind now

Loss of pal led to Roman's radio sign-off

ROMAN Kemp says losing his best friend to suicide meant he had to move on from Capital FM.

The DJ and host insists he has no plans since his exit on Friday, saying he needs time for himself after seven years of gruelling wake-ups for the Capital FM Breakfast Show.

The 31-year-old also said he is still processing the death of friend and former producer Joe Lyons in 2020.

Roman said: "I've tried to spin the plates and tried to do everything and I've realised it's getting in the way of my life. You can't enjoy your own life.

"If you think of a radio show, every day you've got to go out in front of the public and dance and every now and then you've got to give yourself a rest and I've not been doing that for myself.
