ROMAN Kemp stripped naked for a dip in a thermal river in Costa Rica – but things took an unexpected turn.
The Capital radio star, 30, shared a series of candid snaps as he went commando on his swim.
As he splashed around in the water, Roman was caught off guard when his shorts floated down the stream.
Chatting with his co-star Sian Welby on Monday’s show, Roman recalled the awkward moment with fans.
“I was in the middle of the Costa Rican jungle, there are 12 volcanos around Costa Rica, they also have a lot of thermal rivers, the temperature of a nice bath, not too hot, not too cold, just right,” Roman explained.
“I’ve got into the thermal river and thought I’ve really got to embrace nature, there was no one else there at the time, so I thought. I took my shorts off, so now I’m naked in the thermal river.
“I’m applying the mud; I’ve left my shorts on the side of the river against a rock so I thought they’d be fine.”
The I’m A Celebrity star said started to panic when tourists began walking past.
He continued: “I’m bathing, feeling at one, lying back, enjoying this whole experience, I’m really at zen, and then I’ve realised that my shorts are floating down the stream.
“Then I’ve realised I’m naked in this river, there are people walking past, and I realise it’s also a public footpath, so families…and now I’m really worried.
“I’m fully naked in this thermal river and my shorts are going down stream and I’m really panicking, I’m paddling, I’m on all fours on a rock.”
Sian poked fun at her fellow co-star and likened his naked snaps to a “cooked chicken”.
“This picture right, it’s looks like a cooked chicken! He’s got this little white bare bum; he’s got a burnt back,” she told listeners.
Roman added: “I’m fully naked on all fours on this rock trying to grasp, at the best of times if you’re reaching for something it’s not too flattering, I’m fully reaching for my shorts.
Sian joked: “I hope there’s a whole group of British tourists, for some people, that’s their holiday memory.”
