It’s radio presenter Roman Kemp’s turn to learn some moves from Anne-Marie. He sounds worried when she mentions “nunchucks” and “knife defense”, but he just isn’t taking his lesson seriously, and keeps distracting her. Eventually she suspects he’s done some karate before, and maybe isn’t such a complete beginner.
