Now, it has been confirmed that his future on the BBC's daytime schedule is firmly secure with his show The Finish Line being renewed for a fourth series.
Roman co-hosts the show alongside legendary TV host Sarah Greene.
According to TVZone, the next series of the show will film this autumn in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
The first three series of the programme have proved a success for the BBC with it slowly rising up the ranks to match the success of fellow BBC quiz show, Pointless.
The hugely popular BBC game show has become a fan favourite, with contestants racing in moving podiums across the studio floor as they aim to be the first one to the finish line and to get their hands on £5,000.
Roman has fronted many shows in his career including being the face of Capital FM Breakfast, working on The One Show as well as being an I'm A Celebrity campmate.
But earlier this year, he confessed that presenting The Finish Line could be the hardest gig he has had yet.
He exclusively told The Sun's TV Mag, in March: 'I remember the first time I ever did this, I got on the phone to my parents almost in tears going: 'I can't do this, it's so hard.' And every time we do it, it's still difficult.'
'So you look at people like Bradley Walsh [who has hosted The Chase since 2009] and you think: 'Wow, what an incredible feat you've been able to do.'
"And I was watching Romesh do it on The Weakest Link, and that ability to move from question to question to question is hard.

'I guess as a host, your job is to make it look easy. But I'm here to say that it's hard, man, it's really hard!'
He added: 'Hats off to all of the quiz hosts out there!'
Roman, who is the youngest child of Spandau Ballet's Martin and Wham! singer Shirlie Holliman, stepped down from his job as Capital Breakfast presenter in March last year after a decade with the station and has featured in more TV roles ever since.
He will soon appear on the next series of Celebrity Race Across The World, alongside his sister, Harley Moon Kemp.
