Martin Kemp's son Roman in "talks" for Xtra Factor role
The Capital FM DJ says he's had "a lot of talks" about presenting the spin-off show, although there's yet to be any hint of Rochelle and Melvin's departure.
Martin Kemp's son Roman says he's had "a lot of talks in the past year" about hosting X Factor spin-off show Xtra Factor.
Kemp, who DJs on Capital FM, said that for him "that's the next step".
"We've had a lot of talks in the past year about Xtra Factor so we'll see," he told the Sun. "It's nice to know these big shows I look up to are watching and thinking about putting me in that show."
"Having companies like ITV ask if you're interested in doing these types of shows, like Xtra Factor, it's nice, it's really nice," he added.
However, despite plenty of changes on the main show - including Nick Grimshaw, Olly Murs and Caroline Flack leaving - there's yet to be any hint that the current ITV2 hosts Rochelle Humes and Melvin Odoom are out. They took over the gig last year and proved popular, juggling backstage interviews and a new weekly live show.
Ahead of last year's final, Odoom told us he was keeping his "fingers crossed" he'd be asked back for the 2016 run.
