Roman Kemp 'axed' from Brit Awards job and has humble response

The BRIT Awards are looking for a new host - as reports have claimed Roman Kemp won't be back for the 2025 ceremony. He is said to 'accept' the decision. The 31-year-old radio host won praise from fans when he slipped into the presenting role of the iconic music ceremony last year. He helmed the series along Love Island bombshell Maya Jama and fellow radio host Clara Amfo.
But it appears Roman's time as a BRIT Awards host is a one and done affair as it is reported he won't be back for the 2025 event - which will be the 45th. He had previously described his involvement in the awards as a "dream come true". Roman's hosting of the 2024 event was hailed as a success by viewers - who have expressed disappointment that he won't be back this year. The radio star had previously been drafted in to host the BRITs last year as a last minute replacement for actor and DJ, Idris Elba - who had been forced to drop out at the last minute.
A source told the Daily Mail of the change up in hosting for 2025: "Roman has been told he isn't hosting this year. He loved it but accepts that these things change. He was flattered to be chosen to do it last year but he's a pro and gets it." The Mirror has contacted a spokesperson of the BRITs for comment.
Fans have complained online about Roman not returning for the upcoming awards - which are expected to take place in London on 1 March. Some have highlighted that Roman does, at least, have other TV work that he can turned to, with one commenting: "Oh well back to the One Show for him then.".
