"This is going to be my last six weeks on Capital, which is a weird thing to say. This is the oddest moment I've had on the show.
"What I'd like to do over the next few weeks, I don't want sad stuff. What I want is to get to know as many of you as possible. If you've never texted into this show, I want to hear from you."
Roman, 31, first joined the station in 2014 before going on to host his Capital Breakfast Show in 2017.
