The Finish Line's Roman Kemp opens up on fear of quiz shows after losing dad Martin £1m

Roman Kemp is set to team up once again with Sarah Greene for a third series of The Finish Line, but he's candidly shared how his stint on Million Pound Drop was a tough lesson.

At 32, the presenter is all in for another round at the helm of the BBC quiz show, saying, "I would never do a show I don't enjoy," he says, "For quiz shows, series three is a bit of a myth.

So many don't even make it to that." The emphasis is always on enjoyment, even when contestants falter—this is close to Roman Kemp's heart after his own quiz show ordeal.

He recalls the sting of losing big on Million Pound Drop alongside his dad, Spandau Ballet legend Martin Kemp, back in 2012: "I once lost my dad a million pounds on Million Pound Drop," he says, "This was peak Twitter, I got killed and I felt so stupid." That bruising encounter has influenced his hosting style: "From the moment this show was launched, I wanted to make sure that no one ever left feeling like that," he insists. "The most important thing for me is that people have fun." Sarah Greene is equally thrilled about their reunion.
