Roman continued: “My dad doesn’t like doesn’t want any of the crew in the house when we shoot Gogglebox. He doesn’t want any crew in so they sit in a van outside with cables going out to this van.

“My dad was like, ‘Yeah, but you know, if you wanna go to the bathroom, you know, you can come in’. And so this year, and I’ve never heard this one before…

“A producer poked his head around the corner and said ‘Martin, can I use your toilet’. He goes ‘Yeah, sure. But sit down though, mate’. He just told someone to take a sit down p**.”

Roman also revealed he can be strict when it comes to timings on jobs and is quick to set the tone on set. The Capital Radio star added: “Whenever we go to a job if they’re like, ‘Okay, Martin, this job is gonna take about three hours”. My dad will say: “We’ll get it done in an hour” and then everyone panics.”
