Roman Kemp favourite to replace Ben Shephard on Good Morning Britain as he quits Capital

ok.co.uk:

Roman Kemp is high up in the bookies' odds to replace Ben Shephard on Good Morning Britain. It was announced last week that Ben, 49, would be teaming up with Cat Deeley as the new faces of This Morning, following Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield's departures in 2023.

As a result, his chair on GMB is now available. Coupled with the fact that Roman, 31, recently quit his Capital radio role, Ladbrokes has now installed him at 4/1 to join the ITV programme.

Alex Apati of the bet-makers said in a statement: "Our traders are putting two and two together here, and with a Ben Shephard-shaped hole to fill, the odds suggest Capital's loss could well be Good Morning Britain's gain." At the time of writing, Ladbrokes' latest betting to replace Ben Shephard on Good Morning Britain is as follows: Ed Balls - 3/1 Roman Kemp - 4/1 Adil Ray - 5/1 Rylan Clark - 6/1 Alison Hammond - 6/1 Amol Rajan - 8/1 Jermaine Jenas - 8/1 Stacey Dooley - 8/1 Alex Beresford - 10/1 Jordan Banjo - 16/1 Stephen Mulhern - 16/1 and Piers Morgan - 16/1 Who will ITV choose?

Roman, whose father is Spandau Ballet musician and ex-EastEnders actor Martin Kemp, announced his decision to leave Capital on social media. "This is going to be my last few weeks on Capital," he began. "Having spent nearly 10 years with this company it's not a decision that just happened overnight and it's not one that I've found easy at all.
