Is Ross Kemp Related To Roman Kemp

So, you've been binge-watching "Ross Kemp on Gangs" and suddenly it hits you - "Hey, isn't that Roman Kemp's dad?" Well, grab your latte, 'cause we're diving into this celeb family tree.

First things first, who are we talking about?

On one hand, we've got Ross Kemp, the hard-hitting journalist and actor known for his gritty documentaries and iconic role as Grant Mitchell in "EastEnders". On the other, we've got Roman Kemp, the Capital FM DJ, TV presenter, and winner of "I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!" in 2019.

Now, you might be thinking, "They've got the same last name, but that's not exactly proof." Well, hold onto your coffee, 'cause here comes the tea.

Enter: Shirlie Kemp

Shirlie, Roman's mum, was a backing singer for Wham! and George Michael. She's also Ross Kemp's sister. Boom! Connection made.

But wait, there's more. Ross and Shirlie's parents, Kenneth and Diane Kemp, are Roman's grandparents. So, yeah, they're definitely related. It's like a real-life soap opera, ain't it?

But wait, why the confusion?

Well, Ross and Roman don't share the same dad. Ross's dad is Kenneth, while Roman's dad is Martin Kipling, a music producer. But hey, they're still family, right?

And let's not forget, Ross and Roman have a pretty cool relationship. They've done interviews together, and Ross even supported Roman on "I'm A Celebrity". It's like the ultimate family cheer squad.

So, are they related? Spoiler alert: Yes!

Despite not sharing a dad, Ross and Roman are indeed cousins. And let's face it, that's still pretty cool. It's like having a famous cousin who's also a famous cousin. Twice the fun, twice the bragging rights.

Next time you're watching Ross tackle a gang documentary or Roman hosting a radio show, remember, you're basically hanging out with family. Just, you know, super famous family.
