And you’ll have seen that we’ve gone with the rebranded football version here but bide with us as I go Roman in the gloamin’ with a shamrock in my hand.
Because Roman Kemp and his dad Martin are in Ireland this week, filming for a brand-new, three-part TV series.
The Kemps’ Irish odyssey is set to air later this year on Channel 4 and is co-produced by Tourism Ireland.
Produced by Rock Oyster Media, the series follows the The One host, and the Spandau Ballet bassist, actor and I’m a Celeb legend.
As they delve into Ireland’s spooky myths, ghost, banshees and legends.
And explore how ancient traditions have evolved into modern day experiences and festivals.
Get me out to Eire
This trip is all about Martin and Roman diving in together and doesn’t Martin have all the tools from his time in the jungle.
They’ll coasteer on the dramatic Causeway Coast, try their hand at hurling.
Playing the uilleann pipes (yes, it is so true) and experience storytelling in a traditional Irish pub.
The duo will travel the length of the island, through Antrim, Derry and Tyrone in the north.
And see the positive changes in the north since their Through the Barricades anthem to love across the divide.
And then on to Cork, Dublin, Kildare and Meath.
Along the way they will meet the characters, try the challenges.
And share the kind of adventure you only get when you’re exploring.
With someone who knows you inside out!
Green, white and Gold
It will see them discover Ireland like they’ve never seen it before – through sport, music and customs that have shaped the island for centuries.
Judith Cassidy, Tourism Ireland’s Acting Head of Great Britain, said: ‘We are delighted to welcome Martin and Roman Kemp to Ireland, to film all about the ancient stories and traditions that make Ireland unique.
‘Their journey will highlight our stunning scenery and rich heritage.
‘Capturing viewers’ imaginations and inspiring them to come and explore Ireland for their next holiday.”
So to cut a long story short, this will be gold.
