Roman Kemp’s radio show hit by hundreds of Ofcom complaints over ‘damaging’ comments

Roman Kemp and his fellow Capital Breakfast co-hosts have been slammed for mocking a small business in a show last week.

Roman, former BBC Radio 1 DJ Chris Stark, 36, and new This Morning host Sian Welby, 37, questioned the business’ legitimacy and mocked its website.
