Jeff Brazier is a TV presenter after rising to fame as a contestant on Shipwrecked. Since then, he has presented the likes of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! NOW!, Finders Keepers and This Morning.

He will be taking part in the race alongside son Freddy, who works part time.

"I've got a real confidence in my relationship with Fred, and I knew it would take something absolutely huge to make us fall out," Jeff said in an interview with Radio Times magazine.

"Then you're introduced to the limitation of the language barrier and the problems begin!"

Why did Jeff and Freddy want to take part in Celebrity Race Across the World?

Jeff wanted to take part because "the travel element is an absolute privilege", as well as getting to share the experience with his son and make memories.

"He's not a child anymore, he's a young adult," said Jeff. "I feel like at some point he's going to move out and I'll lose him. So, I guess I'm just trying to squeeze every last bit out of him that I can."

Celebrity Race Across the World continues on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Wednesdays at 9pm.
