The Finish Line host Roman Kemp talks David Attenborough interview
Last month saw Roman appear on BRITs podcast, The Red Carpet Treatment, hosted by Jordan Stephens.
During the interview, Roman opened up about one his worst presenting moments.
“One of my worst presenting moments was when I was interviewing Sir David Attenborough and the producer that was in the earpiece in my ear was going ‘he’s running over, you got to wrap him up. You got to wrap him up’,” he said.
“That’s the only time I’ve ever taken the earpiece out my ears and said ‘I’m sorry. I’m not doing it. Yeah, can you tell that man- he was giving a full speech so, you know,” he then added.

Elsewhere in the podcast, Roman spoke about being a “nepo baby”.
A nepo baby is a term used to describe the children of celebrities, who have found fame in a similar field as their parents.
During the podcast, Roman joked that being a “nepo baby” was “the best”.
“The best part of my life, one being how I grew up, two, the parents that I have because I went to the best private school, I got any present that I wanted for Christmas, any present I wanted for a birthday,” he then said.
He also joked that he’s been pulled into competition with fellow “nepo baby”, Barney Walsh.
