The One Show's Roman Kemp's 12-week transformation from 'dad bod' to ripped physique

The One Show presenter Roman Kemp transformed his body in just 12 weeks and even his personal trainer, Bradley Simmonds, was impressed with his dedication to the regime

Roman Kemp, host of The One Show, unveiled an impressive body transformation after a 12-week fitness challenge. In August 2019, the 31 year old TV presenter revealed he had teamed up with Caroline Flack's personal trainer, Bradley Simmonds, to get in shape before entering the I'm A Celebrity jungle, reports OK!.

Roman proudly shared before-and-after photos showcasing his toned abs and defined muscles, achieved through intense workouts. He expressed his gratitude on social media, saying: "Not one for posting a photo like this but I wanted to say a huge thank you to @bradleysimmonds for convincing me to do his #12weektransformation. Best training I've ever had and provided me with the results I wanted. Thank you mate x."

Bradley also praised Roman, a vegan, for his dedication, saying: "12 weeks of pure dedication has got Roman looking and feeling unreal. Being a vegan it was a test for me to get his nutrition spot on ensuring he was consuming enough protein to ensure he was developing muscle whilst shredding the body fat % to build a strong lean physique. But we managed and we had Roman eating good plates of food."

He continued: "Now I won't take all the credit because when we were both busy @romankemp still hit the gym and completed every workout I set him. Making my job easy. ⁣Set himself a goal.. and worked everyday to make the goal a reality.⁣ @romankemp started the transformation at 25% body fat and finishing the transformation at an impressive 9.5% – the picture on the right speaks for itself.⁣ Now all he has to do is maintain his results which he will easily do with the knowledge he's sponged over the last 12 weeks. It's just a shame he's an @arsenal fan as we could have been best mates."

The trainer continued jesting about their potential friendship if not for Roman's allegiance to Arsenal. Earlier this year, Roman candidly revealed details about his life after quitting his Capital Radio breakfast show role, admitting to feeling like he regained control, commenting, "In a way, you get your life back. I went through a period of spinning too many plates and I think you come to a point where you want to know if your work is controlling you too much."

Delving deeper into the matter, Roman reflected on the mental load his profession demanded, saying, "My work was controlling my happiness. I had no time to work out what made me happy. I was working constantly."
