Roman Kemp dishes dirt on Ariana Grande’s strange toilet seat request while touring UK

Roman Kemp has revealed a very strange alleged rider request from megastar Ariana Grande.

The Capital Breakfast host, 29, has confessed he once heard a rumour the God is a Woman hit maker, 28, likes her very own bathroom throne when performing in the United Kingdom.

Speaking at the Capital FM Summertime Ball, the radio star dished the dirt on performers past and present on Sunday - as the radio station’s annual summer concert returned for the first time in three years.

With global icon Ed Sheeran opening the show, and artists like Mabel, Joel Corry and Harry Styles also taking to the stage in Wembley Stadium, the star-studded bash returned in style in London.

In between performances, the Mirror and other press quizzed Roman about how the celebs were behaving and if any were rivalling performers from yesteryear when it comes to rock star demands.

“I’ve heard Ariana Grande would bring her own toilet seat with her when she performed,” the presenter confessed when looking back on previous concerts.

While Ariana has seemingly taken a hiatus from the music world over recent months - enjoying married life with beau Dalton Gomez - the American singer was no stranger to the Capital FM stage - last making a cameo back in 2016.

It comes after Roman recently revealed he plans to quit showbiz within five years after he received a shocking diagnosis for a disorder caused by his busy schedule.

The 29-year-old has opened up on his long-term plan away from the spotlight after he was diagnosed with sleep apnoea.

The disorder is a condition which causes a person's breathing to stop and start while sleeping and has led to the star needing to wear an oxygen mask at night time.

Speaking to Mail Online, the presenter who has dealt with five years of demanding early starts for his show, said: "'My tiredness levels were debilitating, and they said to me it was because of my job and I said this is different.

"I was talking with people where I thought I was verging on narcolepsy because I was mid conversation and would be snoring and not realising, it was very strange.

"The doctors told me I must wear an oxygen mask. There is absolutely nothing sexy about going back to Roman Kemp's house."

He then joked: "They are expecting candles and mood lighting but they're getting a Darth Vader impression into an oxygen tank," and quipped that his love life could make a brilliant documentary for the likes of Channel 5.

Roman's plans away form the spotlight revolve around becoming a stay-at-home dad and opening up a dog sanctuary.
