Roman Kemp reacted to his exit as the broadcaster cheekily mocked himself on social media.

The presenter replied to an article that detailed him stepping down from his Breakfast show on Capital Radio.

The post read: “Roman Kemp announces he’s leaving Capital FM after seven years.”

Taking to the micro-blogging site Roman, 31, cheekily joked: “Heard he only got the job because of his dad, good riddance I say.”

The One Show presenter is the son of musical royalty as his dad Martin Kemp is a member of Spandau Ballet but his mother is none other than Shirlie Kemp, who sang with Wham! and as part of Pepsi & Shirlie.

The radio host’s cheeky off-the-cuff remark caused a stir among his 337,000 followers as they flocked to comment on the post.

One person wrote: “Lmao [laugh my a**e off] savage.”(sic)

Another added a series of laughing out loud emojis while others shared their disappointment Roman would be leaving his radio show.

A third typed: “You will be missed. Love the breakfast team together. Best of luck for the future hope it all goes really well for you.”

A fourth said: “U will be missed pal. All the best.” (sic)

“The reason I watched capital interviews was because you were in them,” another mused.

Roman confirmed he is leaving his role on Capital Radio after seven years. The presenter made the announcement live on air during Monday morning’s show as he paid tribute to the station and his co-stars.

He said: “If I’m totally honest I have no idea how I even start this so I’m just going to come out and say it. This is going to be my last six weeks on Capital, which is a weird thing to say.

“This is the oddest moment I’ve had here on the show. The thing is, on this show alone and within Capital, it’s eight and a half years of my life have just been so incredible being part of this machine.

“It’s been the funniest, the saddest, the most outright wild time that I’ve had being a part of Capital and the Global family. When you set out to do a job of this magnitude, you never think that one day there’ll be a moment where you have to say goodbye.

“You don’t think that time will come, what I can tell you is as I say, I’m not saying goodbye right now. I’m not going to leave the show today and that’s it bye, but it’s not far away.”
