ROMAN Kemp didn't hold back in taking a cheeky swipe at F1 boss Christian Horner during the 2024 Brit Awards.

The radio DJ, 31, was one of an array of hosts at the live show, which saw singer Raye, 26, make history by bagging six gongs on the night.

He fronted Saturday's Brit Awards 2024 alongside Maya Jama and Clara Amfo yet raised eyebrows with a comment about the Red Bull racing boss.

It came just days after Christian, 50, was left reeling after details were leaked from a confidential probe into claims he had sent improper texts to a colleague.

Hundreds of WhatsApp messages - sent to F1 teams and media outlets - dropped after he was officially cleared of wrongdoing - with Geri, 51, opting to put on a united front with her spouse yesterday in Bahrain.

When milling around the Brits guests, Roman took a cheeky dig and said: "It's busier here than at team Red Bull's press office."

He was referring to the debacle which has seen Geri "stand by her man" - yet she is believed to have read him "the riot act" behind the scenes.

The Wannabe hitmaker said she was “relieved and elated” that her husband was cleared of wrongdoing prior to the message leak.

Although there don't appear to be any explicit images in the messages, some of the texts are sexually suggestive in nature.

For his part, Christian has always denied any wrongdoing.

In a previous statement, he said: "I have the support of an incredible family, an incredible wife, an incredible team and everybody within that team.

"And my focus is going on racing, winning racing and doing the best I can. It was a day about starting the season in the best possible way.

"My focus is on this team, my family, my wife and racing."

Meanwhile, Roman has faced further flack for his Brits coverage.

Earlier in the show, fans claimed to have spotted a feud between Roman and pop queen Kylie.

It came when the I'm A Celeb star persuaded her to do a "shoey" - drinking a shot from a stiletto.

He also left some fans less than impressed when he compared punk band Green Day as "the American Busted."

It has been a busy few weeks for Roman, who stunned fans when he revealed he was quitting his Capital Radio breakfast show after six years.
