Jeff Brazier and Son to Compete in Celebrity Race Across the World

Jeff Brazier has opened up about the emotional reason behind his participation in the upcoming season of Celebrity Race Across The World. The television presenter, who shares sons Bobby, 21, and Freddie, 19, with the late Big Brother star Jade Goody, expressed his eagerness to bond with Freddie during the reality travel show. In the premiere episode, Brazier highlighted the opportunity to deepen his relationship with his son, stating, "The thing I'm most looking forward to is I feel like I'm going to learn a lot more about my son." Freddie echoed his father's sentiments, sharing his excitement about the rare chance to spend quality time with him. He remarked, "It'll be nice to spend that time with Dad, just me and my dad." The show features a lineup of celebrities, including model Kelly Brook and her husband Jeremy Parisi, who will also embark on this challenging journey across South America. Tim Harcourt, Chief Creative Officer at Studio Lambert, expressed enthusiasm for the new season, emphasizing the breathtaking scenery and the demanding nature of the race. Catherine Catton, Head of Commissioning for Factual Entertainment and Events, echoed this excitement, noting the show's success and the anticipation surrounding the new celebrity participants. The BAFTA award-winning series is set to return on August 14th at 9 PM on BBC One and iPlayer. However, Brazier revealed he would decline an invitation to participate in the next season of ITV's popular show, citing discomfort as it would be "Bobby's world."
