Roman Kemp reveals he's BANNED from interviewing A-lister as their 'awkward and cringe' chat resurfaces - and it's not the first time the nepo baby has left a celeb squirming!
Roman Kemp has revealed he's banned from interviewing Jennifer Lawrence after the actress had him escorted out of a press junket. The presenter, 32, spoke to the actress while she was promoting her 2015 film Joy, and revealed his bosses at Capital FM had written a list of questions to ask that he had not seen himself yet. It got off to an awkward start, with Jennifer claiming it 'sucked' for her to have to answer the questions and reeling off a list of monosyllabic answers. Yet it was his stunt of pretending to have had a tattoo of Jennifer inked on his chest that proved to be the final straw for the Oscar-winning actress - who is said to have asked security to remove Roman from the room. Roman - who is the son of singers Martin Kemp and Shirlie Holliman - reflected on the exchange on Tuesday as he shared a throwback from the day showing off his fake tattoo. He captioned the Instagram post: 'Found this old picture of when I interviewed Jennifer Lawrence and for fun pretended to be a mega fan complete with a tattoo... 'She did NOT find it funny. I was escorted out by security and told I would never interview her again.' In another post, The One Show presenter added he has not spoken to the Silver Linings Playbook star since In another post, The One Show presenter added he has not spoken to the Silver Linings Playbook star since. He quipped: 'Tbf still haven't had the chance to redeem myself or explain the situation to her... (sic)' During the interview, Jennifer seemed visibly uncomfortable as she sat through Roman's line of questioning, which included asking her what was her favourite type of cheese. At one point, he read out a poem that 'he' had written for her, prompting the actress to reply deadpan: 'wow, that was incredibly touching'. He then announced that he had new tattoo, which was met with a blank stare from Jennifer. As he unbuttoned his shirt to reveal the fake inking of Jennifer's face, she replied deadpan: 'Oh my god. Oh man, wow right over your heart. I would expect nothing less. 'I'm flattered and honoured, it looks so permanent. how did they get it so glossy?' Roman then revealed that his father is Martin Kemp of Spandeau Ballet fame and that he wanted to take Jennifer on a date to one of his concerts. She responded straight-faced: 'To meet your dad? coolest date ever...' Roman reflected on the exchange during an appearance on The Chris Ramsey Show in 2018, where he described it as his 'trickiest interview' to date. He recalled: 'She's not having the best day clearly. She hasn't said hello to me, she hasn't acknowledged me, she's just sat there on the phone like this... 'I've already sat down and said "hi how are you?" and all this type of stuff, [she] just said nothing. 'I ask the first question she goes, "sorry have you started?" I was like, "yeah I'm already in the questioning here..."' Detailing when he showed off the tattoo, Roman continued: 'She said nothing after that and then the security guard got up and asked me to leave. 'I am now banned from interviewing Jennifer Lawrence.' While Roman seems to have taken the awkward exchange in his stride, it's not the first time he has sat though an uncomfortable interview. The podcast host went viral in 2023 when he grilled Canadian actor Keanu Reeve on British culture in a Capital FM interview - leaving the Hollywood legend baffled. The podcast host went viral in 2023 when he grilled Canadian actor Keanu Reeve on British culture in a Capital FM interview - leaving the Hollywood legend baffled During the chat, Roman asked Keanu if his legendary hitman character John Wick would be able to beat 'the nation's P.E teacher' Joe Wicks in a fight. Although clearly baffled by the question, polite Keanu responded: 'Fantastic! I know it's hard to believe but John Wick doesn't really wanna fight, so let's just talk about life and fitness, John Wick hashtag fitness!' Roman then informed Keanu that John Wick sounded like British hardware chain Wickes, to which a confused Keanu replied: 'For when you just have to get it done, I'm gonna Wickes my bathroom, I'm gonna Wickes my new kitchen!' He concluded the interview by doing an impression of Keanu. Roman explained: 'So, I try to change the face first, and how I do that it, you're about to sneeze, lean back, eyes are gone, and you're now confused about the sneeze, and then it goes, "what?" (impersonating Keanu] "so you see, what I'm tryin' to do here?"' While Keanu was a good sport during the interview it seemed he was baffled by the line of questioning, prompting Capital Radio to share a clip of the exchange captioned: 'Is this the most awkward interview of all time!?' He also clashed with Love Island star Georgia Steel when she appeared on the show in 2018 after he made a sarcastic remark about her forgetting she had gone in for a kiss with Jack Fowler on the show. When asked about the exchange, Georgia insisted: 'I did not remember it the way that I saw it. I 100 percent completely get why people thought I was lying but I went back in that villa and I did not remember it the way that I saw it. 'So when I saw it I was very very shocked and I am sure people that saw my reaction would've noticed that for sure.' Roman dismissively responded with: 'Hmmmm, yes…' to which Georgia hit back: 'Oh yeah whatever!' During last year's BRIT Awards, Roman left viewers cringing when he talked Kylie Minogue into doing a 'shoey' - an Aussie tradition which involves drinking out of a shoe. Kylie seemed baffled by the skit, with one viewer summing up: 'That interview with Kylie and Roman Kemp was so awkward. 'This year's #BRITs makes the Mick Fleetwood/Sam Fox performance worthy of BAFTA Lifetime Achievement award.' Roman also had an awkward exchange with Justin Bieber, revealing he put his foot in it during a private listening session for his 2020 album, Changes. What began as a seemingly friendly invitation soon took an awkward turn when Justin demanded Roman join him on stage to offer live feedback in front of a roomful of music industry executives. 'He singled me out,' Roman said. 'He said I've got to come up on stage. He plays these tunes to all these label execs, looks at me and goes, "What do you think of that one?"' Giving his honest opinion, Roman responded: 'It's alright.' Yet Justin did not appear to appreciate the critique. '"Roman said it's alright? Alright?"', he reportedly shot back. Speaking on his BBC Sounds podcast You About? Roman continued: 'At that point, I was like, I've got to double down. So I said, "Well, yeah. It's not your best, not your worst." And that was it... My words were, "It's decent" - but I don't think he appreciated it.' Co-host Tom Grennan asked: 'You used to be pretty tight with Bieber, didn't you?' To which Roman responded simply: 'Yeah...' While Roman still follows Justin on Instagram, Justin doesn't follow him back. Last year, Roman revealed what he believes to be his most awkward ever exchange. Speaking on the Therapy Crouch podcast with Peter Crouch, he confessed: 'One person nearly made me cry. I was only young and it was for James Bond.' Roman beeped out the name of the Bond star and confirmed it wasn't Daniel Craig, but then said that the actor was as intimidating off-screen as he is on it. He shared: 'He is like that in real life and I sat there and I asked him this question, and it wasn't even a bad question, and then he sat and he thought.' Roman went on to say how the actor took control of the interview in an unexpected way. Putting on a German-Austrian accent as an impression, Roman said: 'He just turned to me and said, 'For the rest of this interview, I'll ask myself the questions I think I should be asked.' The TV star added that he was so shocked by what had happened, he was left in stunned silence. Roman first found fame in 2014 when he joined the Capital FM team as host of the Sunday morning show. Two years later he became the face of The Capital Evening Show, before being promoted to Capital Breakfast the following year. In 2021, Roman became a millionaire at the tender age of 28 after bagging an M&S menswear deal with his dad Martin, on top of their ITV show Martin & Roman's Weekend Best! He started hosting The One Show the following year. During his time on the green sofa, he found himself in the middle of a nepotism row when he interviewed his own parents on the show.

Accountant-turned-fireman honoured in song celebrating 200 years of rail
An accountant who volunteers shovelling coal as a steam engine 'fireman' has had her life immortalised in a song for a special BBC series. Working with steam engines connected Joanne Ormesher to her beloved late grandfather and gave her strength during her battle with an aggressive cancer. Now, she is one of five people whose stories have been turned into songs by top folk artists for BBC Radio 2's 21st Century Folk, which this year celebrates 200 years since the birth of the modern railway. The bicentenary year, led by Railway 200, began with a 'whistle-up' of more than 200 locomotives across five continents, and Inspiration, a free travelling exhibition train showcasing the past, present and future of rail, is now touring the country. Ms Ormesher's grandfather was an engineer who made model trains, and she recalls engine parts strewn across his home. But it was not until two decades after his death that she happened upon an iconic steam engine waiting at a local station. 'I thought they were consigned to museums,' she remembers. 'But this was hissing and breathing at the station. It felt alive. I stood at the back of a throng of enthusiasts, and it felt like my grandad was there. 'The smells and the sounds, everything reminded me of him.' Her life changed that day and she began volunteering cleaning engines at a local heritage railway and quickly rose through the ranks to become a fireman. She now volunteers on the Llangollen Railway in north Wales, a journey that can take up to three hours from her home near Blackburn. Starting as early as 5am, Ms Ormesher shovels hundreds of kilos of coal and ensures the train's engine is working correctly. It took her body nearly a year to adapt to the punishing labour. Despite the toil, she often daydreams about being back on the railway while working in the office as an accountant. In 2019, she was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, and the railways helped her through. 'I didn't know if I was going to survive, I shouldn't have survived,' Ms Ormesher said. 'But I was determined to get back to firing steam engines. It's what kept me focused. Ten weeks after my treatment I was back at it.' Now in remission, she continues to volunteer as a fireman. Ms Ormesher also strives to pass on her knowledge to the next generation of enthusiasts and champions greater opportunities for women on heritage railways. She said she loved the song about her – Firecracker, by Findlay Napier – and was 'so emotional' when listening to it. The five songs celebrate 200 years since the first steam-powered, passenger rail journey when George Stephenson's Locomotion No. 1 travelled along the Stockton and Darlington Railway. Emma Roberts, programme manager for Railway 200, said: 'The BBC and the folk artists have done an amazing job bringing these five stories to life. 'Joanne's story is inspirational and it really demonstrates the powerful impact that the railways can have on people's lives. 'This is a momentous year for the UK, and it's been wonderful to see so many people getting involved, with hundreds of events happening across the country and the rest of the world.' The songs are being played on BBC Radio 2 this week. On Friday, Jeremy Vine will broadcast live from The Greatest Gathering, a railway summit in Derby. BBC Radio 2's Folk Show presenter Mark Radcliffe said: 'Folk music tells the story of everyday life, with melodies and lyrics that are passed down through generations of families. 'It's been amazing to see these listeners' stories take on a life of their own with these special compositions, written and performed by some of the folk world's most loved artists.'
