The latest episode of Celebrity Race Across the World has left viewers in awe of contestant Freddy Brazier. The 20-year-old, who is competing on the BBC series alongside his father Jeff Brazier, opened up about his struggles with ADHD and how it has affected his self-esteem.
As part of the show's challenges, Freddy and his dad have been tasked with traveling through South America without the use of smartphones or bank cards. In the recent episode, the duo found themselves working at a campsite in Cascavel, Brazil, where they had to earn money by completing various tasks, such as chopping firewood.
As Jeff observed his son persevering through the tasks at hand, he couldn't help but feel proud. He praised Freddy for continuing to try his best, even though he often felt inadequate and not good enough. Jeff then spoke to the camera and shared how his son's strengths were numerous, but Freddy struggled to see them in himself.
Jeff went on to talk about Freddy's difficulties in school, revealing that he found it tough to concentrate and often resorted to being the class clown. At the age of 10, Freddy was diagnosed with ADHD, which made it challenging for him to behave and cope with everything going on around him. Jeff emphasized that Freddy wasn't a bad kid, but he just didn't know how to manage his ADHD.
Despite his struggles, Jeff believes that Freddy will go on to do something amazing in his lifetime. He sees his son as a pioneer who will bring a unique perspective to the world. The emotional episode touched the hearts of many viewers who took to social media to share their thoughts and feelings.
One user commented on how it broke their heart to hear that Freddy felt inadequate at such a young age, and they believed he should be free to have fun without doubts. Another user praised Jeff for being a great dad and allowing Freddy to take responsibility while still showing him love and support.
Freddy's older brother, Bobby Brazier, is a contestant on this season of Strictly Come Dancing, and many viewers have fallen in love with the Brazier brothers. They have also expressed admiration for their late mother, Jade Goody, who passed away from cervical cancer in 2009.
Last week's episode had Freddy holding back tears as he spoke about his mother's death. He revealed that he lost her when he was only four years old, and it happened on Mother's Day, which made it even harder for him. Despite not wanting to show his emotions, Freddy opened up about how he avoids talking about his mom with his dad and prefers to bottle up his feelings.
He also mentioned that most of his memories of his mom come from documentaries, YouTube clips, and newspapers, rather than his own memories. It's a painful reality for Freddy, who wishes he had more memories of his mom to hold onto. The emotional moment left viewers reaching for tissues and praising Freddy for his bravery.
