Inside Jeff Brazier’s heartbreaking upbringing – ‘abandoned’ in foster care, dad’s death in Marchioness disaster and brother’s life-long disability

Celebrity Race Across the World star Jeff Brazier first appeared on TV in Shipwrecked and he's since become a firm favourite

Jeff previously noted during an appearance on Dave Berry’s Dadpod podcast how he hoped to be the ‘best version of himself’ for his own boys, having suffered from feeling of abandonment. “Own your story, recognise the strengths you’ve acquired and show your vulnerabilities because we all need to be a little more human and recovery works (much) better when we aren’t bottling things up. Jeff said at the time: “Through embarking on this journey with Spencer I hope to provide the catalyst that will enable him to find himself, his courage and his confidence, break down the psychological restrictions he places on himself and for us to grow close once more after our 15 years of living with some distance between us.”
