Major lights switch-on gig for Roman Kemp

Just 12 month after switching on the Oxford Street Christmas lights, Capital presenter Roman Kemp has taken on his biggest challenge yet.

This year he was booked to switch on the lights at a SUBWAY store in London.

The breakfast show host asked “is that it??” after flicking the switch at the Shepherd’s Bush store in west London.

It was a far cry from 2017’s Oxford Street festivities, in which he starred with co-presenter Vick Hope and singer Rita Ora.

Subway hired the 25-year-old to do the honours to mark the launch of their new Christmas menu which features a six-inch Christmas Cracker Sub and Signature Loaded Wrap.

In a video of the ceremony, Kemp is seen arriving by taxi, musing on his previous role, starting Christmas festivities for Londoners.

Colin Hughes, Country Director, UK and Ireland at Subway said: “At this time of year Christmas lights are switched on across the country. Of course we don’t want to throw shade on any of these festive displays, but with our own special switch on, the new Christmas menu at Subway is lit.”
