What, how, and why?

Celebrity Race Across The World fans have been moved again by Jeff Brazier's bond with his son Freddy.

Freddy spoke about being diagnosed with ADHD while he was at school and said that he had struggled with academic work and paying attention in classes.

But dad Jeff backed his youngest son, insisting that Freddy was set to do something inspirational with his life.

He said: "I know he's going to do something amazing in his lifetime. We need the pioneers, we need the people that give a completely different opinion and that's what Fred's role is going to be.

"I see it, I've always seen it and I look forward to him seeing it. One day it's going to click and all fall into place."

Fans of the show found Jeff's faith in his son touching, as one viewer commented on X: "so much love for Jeff and Freddie," as someone else added: "As a dad Im loving watching Jeff & Freddy on their journey."

Another viewer wrote: "Freddy opening up on his ADHD diagnosis. He has been through so much. Jeff must be so proud of him."
