Roman Kemp and Martin Kemp are reportedly fronting a More4 travelogue series in 2026.

Following 64 year old Martin's successful stint on ITV's I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!, and Roman, 32, winning BBC's Celebrity Race Across the World this year, the dad-and-son duo are set to visit Ireland as they explore their family heritage.

Speaking of the supposed programme, a TV insider told The Sun newspaper's TVBiz column: "We’re used to seeing Martin and Roman on TV together, whether it’s on adverts or on Celebrity Gogglebox.

"But this will be a real departure for the Kemps to be hitting the road together with their first full, standalone series for Channel 4.

"Particularly as these days Roman is more closely associated with The One Show on the BBC.”

The publication added that the show - which has the working title of Kemps in Ireland - has been made by Rock Oyster Media, which is responsible for other big travelogue shows.

This includes ITV's Taste of Ireland with Dermot O’Leary - which saw the 52-year-old TV presenter eat his way around the Emerald Isle as he celebrates the country's gastronomic heritage, as well as experiencing its culture and finding out about Ireland's history.

Another is ITV's Gary Barlow's Food and Wine Tour - with one series based in South Africa and the other in Australia - which saw the Take That boy band member, 54, sample some of the world's best cuisine and wines.

This Morning host Josie Gibson, 40, showcased the dinner delights of her neck of the woods in ITV's Taste of the West Country.

And Alison Hammond, 50, and her son Aidan, 20, jetted out to Florida, determined to holiday in the Sunshine State without breaking the bank on BBC's Florida Unpacked.

The Kemps' new reported TV show comes after Roman won BBC's Celebrity Race Across the World with his sister, Harley Moon Kemp, 36, earlier this month.

They starred on the show with Kiss FM DJ Tyler West, 29, and his 25-year-old girlfriend, former EastEnders actress Molly Rainford, presenter Anita Rani, 48, and her dad Bal, and Derry Girls actor Dylan Llewellyn, 33, and mum Jackie.

The celebrity duos ditched luxury for backpacks as they raced against each other on a 5,900km route from Isla Mujeres, the most eastern point of Mexico, to the Peninsula de La Guajira in Colombia on a £30 daily budget.

And also in December, former Spandau Ballet bassist Martin finished in sixth out of 12th place on the Australian-based jungle survival show, I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!.
