Roman Kemp, the renowned Capital DJ, has achieved immense success in his career, but his journey has not been without its challenges. Since the age of 15, he has battled depression, contemplated suicide, and has bravely fought to break the stigma surrounding mental health and medication. Despite facing adversity, Kemp has managed to carve out a coveted Breakfast slot at Capital, attracting record-breaking listeners with his cheeky sense of humor.

Kemp's unique ability to captivate his audience has led to extraordinary experiences, such as convincing Ed Sheeran to tattoo his leg on air, engaging in cab-roulette with James Corden, getting Craig David to freestyle rap, and even roping Lewis Capaldi into a life-drawing class. In 2019, he further solidified his fan base by finishing third in Im A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, showcasing his uncanny impressions of celebrities like Ant and Dec and his friend Harry Styles.

However, this is just the tip of the iceberg. In this revealing book, Kemp is ready to share the untold stories and personal insights that were not captured on camera during his time in the jungle. He delves into the profound impact of the pandemic on his life when his best friend, the producer who had nurtured his career, tragically took his own life. Amidst the shock, loss, and confusion, Kemp bravely made a moving BBC3 documentary about the alarming rates of suicide amongst young males, recognizing that he could have been a statistic himself.

Kemp's book is not just a memoir; it is a call to action. He unflinchingly tackles the taboo of suicide, hoping to inspire others by sharing his own struggles and offering advice. Through his anecdotes and personal reflections, Kemp shares the experiences that have shaped him and why love, marriage, and having his own family one day are so important to his future dreams.

This page-turning book is a testament to Kemp's resilience, determination, and unwavering commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of others. It is a must-read for anyone who has ever faced adversity, struggled with mental health, or simply seeks inspiration from a remarkable individual who has overcome incredible challenges.
