The BBC star has learned he has a health condition that is thought to be caused by his work schedule.
Roman Kemp might be best known for his Capital breakfast show and his famous father Martin, of Spandau Ballet fame, but in recent times the radio presenter has also become well known as a mental health advocate. After the death of a close friend to suicide, Roman hasn't shied away from talking about the taboo issue and features in a new BBC Three documentary Roman Kemp: The Fight for Young Lives, which airs tonight at 9pm.
Roman wrote his own memoir Are You Really OK?, after he battled depression from his teenage years and previously said his mother suggested that he see a doctor at 15. Roman opened up about walking away from the limelight after being diagnosed with sleep apnoea - a condition which causes a person's breathing to stop and start while sleeping. This disorder has even led to the star having to wear an oxygen mask at night time when sleeping
Top news stories today Roman plans away from the spotlight revolve around becoming a stay-at-home dad and opening up a dog sanctuary, and he insisted he never chose his career for fame. However, he does intend to stick around for another five years so that he can mark his decade in the industry. "I want a decade on air at least," he added. "I would love to be able to say I did a decade on that show – whether my bosses will allow that I don't know.
