Roman Kemp: Happiness is a decision
Roman Kemp relished competing on Celebrity Race Across the World.
Roman Kemp learned that "happiness is a decision" while filming Celebrity Race Across the World.
The 32-year-old broadcaster competed on the BBC show alongside his sister Harley Moon, and Roman admits that the series taught him an invaluable life lesson.
The TV star - who is the son of musician Martin Kemp and singer Shirlie Holliman - said: "I'd say it was the biggest point of self-reflection, you know, because Harley and I have always, been very acutely aware of where we're from and the privileges that we have, but I think it was the first time that we could really look and see that its not necessarily about what you have or don’t have –it's that you can actually find happiness wherever it is.
"Happiness is a decision, and that's what I think I took from that. I took that from so many different parts of it and with Harley.
"Happiness can be a real decision. And I think it's nice to be able to see people living their life the way that they want to live it, without things that we think we need."
Roman also learned some important lessons through his sister.
He explained: "I think a massive thing that Harley probably taught me throughout it was learning to enjoy the moments in life that we can't control, the moments in life where you've just got to accept your circumstance."
Roman admits that he likes to "prepare" and so had had to go outside of his comfort zone while shooting the BBC show.
He said: "I think that's a really tough thing for me to do for who I am as a person. Because I like to prepare, and I like to know what's ahead of me. And I really struggle sometimes to actually stop and realise that I can have enjoyment in those moments that I can't control."
