Jeff Brazier has explained why he invited his younger son Freddie on Celebrity Race Across the World and not his EastEnders star son Bobby - and it's for a hilarious reason
TV presenter Jeff Brazier is taking his younger son Freddie on an epic adventure as part of BBC's Celebrity Race Across the World - as the pair aim to travel from the Amazon Rainforest to the Andes mountains in just five weeks. Racing against three other famous pairs, the duo must cross 12,500km to get to the final checkpoint with a small budget, no phone, no wallet and a tight deadline.
Speaking to OK! in an exclusive chat, Jeff said that his EastEnders star son isn't the best with tough terrains. "No disrespect to Bob, but I had more confidence going with Fred," he says. "Bobby is more stubborn and less willing in terms of how much discomfort he’ll put himself through." "We were climbing up the side of the mountain and halfway up, Bobby decides, 'Right, I'm done.' The guide was like, 'The only way off is up and over.' I immediately felt the scorn and judgement from him," Jeff laughed. "But Freddie, just got on with it. Bob sulked his way up and over."
He added: "It’s also why I didn’t put Bob forward for it. He sacks off the mountain after five minutes and sulks for about four hours."
