Kelly Brook has admitted she feels like "an anomaly" because of uncertainty over what her future with husband Jeremy Parisi will look like.

She spoke on this week's Celebrity Race Across The World about being in her 40s with no children, as well as where she might end up being buried.

Meanwhile, Jeff and Freddy Brazier had an awkward discussion about rent and moving out, as Jeff admitted he was trying to work out who he was outside of being a dad.

Kelly Brook shared her "uncertainty" over her future in Celebrity Race Across The World as husband Jeremy Parisi told her she could choose which tomb she wanted to be buried in at his family cemetery.

The couple took up a job on a vineyard this week to earn back some of their budget and Brook said the countryside reminded her of visiting Parisi's family in Italy.

She said: "It's mad when we go to the graveyard there and Jeremy's related to everybody. Is that where you're going to bury me? In one of those tombs?" as Parisi reassured her: "Oh, you can choose."

Brook continued: "I feel like Italians are so obsessed with death. I'd never really thought about where I was going to be buried until I met you and then I was like, oh, I guess I'll be here then, won't I."

Speaking about their life together, Brook said: "There's a lot of uncertainty about our future and where we're going to end up. Obviously, being a woman of 44 with no children, you're a bit of an anomaly. You're at a crossroads in your life - are you just going to be this career woman, are you going to be a family woman, are you just going to be a wife? I'm not sure if I want to just do what everyone else does."

Later in the episode, Brook said she was willing to consider living in Italy with Parisi for a few years, who is Italian but grew up in France and now lives in London with her.

Back in the race, Brook managed to convince Parisi to splash out on a bed for an overnight bus at a cost of £15 after weeks of arguing over how much to save.

She said: "I'm not going to keep doing this, because you're making me look like I'm a diva all the time and I'm not. It's such a small amount of money Jeremy, and at the end of the race you're going to have all this money left over and we've been uncomfortable the whole time."

Father and son Jeff and Freddy Brazier had an awkward exchange as Jeff cornered his youngest son about how little rent he paid to live at home.

Jeff explained: "Always a difficult discussion, but I guess I brought it up because he's holding himself back. I find that really upsetting because I want him to unleash all of the wonderful stuff that's inside him. I can't be the solution for him, but what I can do is stop making everything so easy for him."

He told Freddy: "You are not being asked to leave and you are welcome to stay with me for..." as Freddy asked: "For about another two years?"

"I'd say a maximum of two years, yeah," agreed Jeff and Freddy replied: "That's enough time."

Later, Jeff opened up on his reasons for doing the show as he said: "My focus has been on Freddy and his brother for such a long time. But now they're at an age where soon they'll move out and we'll all be in a very different phase of life.

"I know who I am as a dad, because I've been playing that role for 20-odd years. It doesn't always leave much space for you to be anything else. It's maybe not until you take that hat off because they've moved out that you start to look at who am I, and how I go about the next phase of my life. I kind of see this trip as part of that process."

Celebrity Race Across The World airs on BBC One at 9pm on Wednesday.
