Roman Kemp has revealed he plans to quit showbiz within five years after he received a shocking diagnosis for a disorder caused by his busy schedule.
The Capital breakfast show host, 29, 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.
His plans away form the spotlight revolve around becoming a stay-at-home dad and opening up a dog sanctuary.
And Roman, whose famous parents are Martin Kemp and Shirlie Holliman, admits he would happily step away from a life in the spotlight, insisting he never chose his career for the fame.
But 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."
In another candid discussion, Roman previously discussed how he had struggled with depression.
Speaking to Steven Bartlett on The Diary of a CEO podcast he said: "I want a decade on air at least. 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."
