The father-son duo will be on our screens in the latest series of Celebrity Race Across The World, the BBC reality show that follows four famous pairs on an epic journey – this time across South America – with a small budget, no phone, no wallet and a tight deadline. With the show being 19-year-old Freddie’s first real foray into TV, Jeff admits that signing up was a “big decision” for the family.
“He hasn’t done anything on television before and he wasn’t sure whether that was his path,” says Jeff, 45. “We just reached a point of understanding that this doesn’t necessarily mean he’s using it as a stepping stone to do anything. This can just be for the experience.
” Starting in the Amazon Rainforest and ending in the Andes, the pair spent four weeks racing radio DJ Scott Mills and his husband Sam Vaughan, presenter Kelly Brook and her husband Jeremy Parisi, and Ted Lasso’s Kola Bokinni and his cousin Mary Ellen across 12,500km of terrain. But ultimately, taking part in the show was a chance for Jeff to spend more time with his younger son. Freddie and big brother Bobby, 21, are Jeff’s sons.
