A radio host and TV presenter said Buckingham Palace’s Platinum Jubilee party reminded him of his partying days at a Watford nightclub.

Roman Kemp, 29, who was involved in the BBC’s coverage of the historic occasion last week, managed to grab himself a spot at the royal after party.

We probably all have some idea of what a party at Buckingham Palace that is fit for a Queen might entail.

A lavish party full of glamour and glitz with only the fanciest black tie evening wear that runs into the night is what one might expect – but for Roman it was just like being on a night out in Watford (well at least part of it).

Opening up The One Show last night, co-host Alex Jones was keen to find out what Roman had been up to.

She said: “And welcome back Roman Kemp. Now then Roman, you were busy last weekend, you did a brilliant job by the way, backstage at the concert. How was it? You were the man with all the goss I hear.”

A smiling Roman replied: “Yeah, well I was lucky enough to kind of slip into the after-party of the Platinum Party at the Palace which did mean that we got to go inside Buckingham Palace for an after-party.”

Alex responded: “Hang on - what?”, to which Roman said: “Yeah, I know, that’s a big drop there already with the royals, but the best thing about it was that, you’d think that at the end of a party at the Palace, they’d slowly and cautiously usher everyone out really nicely. They don’t, they just switch the lights on.

“It’s exactly the same thing that they do in Destiny nightclub in Watford. It's the end of the night - you’re out! And I liked it, I was here for it.”

Obviously Roman hasn't been to Watford for quite some time because the club is now known as Pryzm and still as popular as ever, although it is threatened by closure.

We know Watford might not be everyone’s first choice for a night out but next time you find yourself winding down at one of the town’s nightspots, just remember, apparently it’s not that different from those partying at the world’s most famous palace!
