Roman Kemp left Love Island bombshell Antigoni Buxton red-faced during a rather awkward conversation about her search for love.
The singer made an appearance on Capital FM’s Breakfast with Roman Kemp alongside her co-star Charlie Radnedge, who she had also been coupled up with.
Despite Antigoni, 26, not finding love on the popular ITV2 dating show, she almost faced a complete direction in life if one celebrity had anything to do with it.

Roman said: “This is a true story, right, aout a year ago, I’m coming out of Capital and I’m walking down the stairs.
“And then I hear ‘Roman, Roman, Roman’, I look over, it’s Judge Rinder.
“Firstly, he goes ‘Are you single?’ and I was like ‘Yeah…'”
Roman continued: “He’s pulling up Antigoni’s Instagram, ‘Look at her, marriage, definitely, lovely family, lovely girl, she’s super talented, super good looking, check this out, what about it? What about it?'”

Before Roman could go any further, Antigoni explained that she knew that Judge Rinder had attempted to set them up before confirming she had no part in the outburst.
She said: “I had no idea he was going to do that, by the way, he’s like my honorary godfather.”
But despite Rob Rinder’s best efforts, Roman explained that he didn’t slide into Antigoni’s messages and would have rather left it to fate.

“I thought at the end of the day, if it will be, it will be and it doesn’t need to be with Rob Rinder,” he said.
Roman has remained tight-lipped about his love life since splitting from his ex-girlfriend Anne-Sophie Flury.
We revealed in 2020 that the pair had split two years after meeting one another on the dating app Tinder.
But he has spoken about being open to dating while explaining he is attracted to independent women.
