Roman Kemp and his dad Martin are coming to a TV screen near you soon! Reports suggest the father-and-son duo have landed their own TV travel show.

The news comes after Roman triumphed on Celebrity Race Across The World and Martin won a whole new legion of fans on this year’s I’m A Celebrity.

The new show will reportedly air on More 4 in 2026. It currently has the working title of Kemps in Ireland and will see Roman and Martin explore the country and their family heritage.

One insider told The Sun: “We’re used to seeing Martin and Roman on TV together, whether it’s on adverts or on Celebrity Gogglebox. But this will be a real departure for the Kemps to be hitting the road together with their first full, stand alone series for Channel 4. Particularly as these days Roman is more closely associated with The One Show on the BBC.”

The series is being made by Rock Oyster Media. Previous shows made by the same production company include Dermot O’Leary’s Taste of Ireland and two series of Gary Barlow’s Food and Wine Tour.

TVG has contacted Channel 4 and Martin and Roman’s reps for comment.

It’s been a very good year

The news rounds off a brilliant year for the Kemps.

Earlier this month, Roman and his sister Harleymoon won Celebrity Race Across The World. They beat Molly Rainford and Tyler West by the narrowest of margins.

Martin, meanwhile, became the sixth celebrity to be eliminated from this year’s I’m A Celebrity. Roman gloated afterwards that his famous dad hadn’t quite beaten his record on the show, after he came third in 2019.

The Kemps are no strangers to working together. They have hosted a brilliant podcast series, FFS! My Dad Is Martin Kemp. They also appear on Celebrity Gogglebox. And they fronted the ITV series Martin and Roman’s Sunday Best. They have also taken part in an episode of ITV’s DNA Journey.
