Insights into Jeff Brazier's life from his relationship with Jade Goody to his famous son and his separation

Jeff Brazier and his son will join the star-studded cast of the latest season of Celebrity Race Across the World. The popular BBC One show, whose celebrity spin-off launched last year and saw weather presenter Alex Beresford and his father Noel take the title, is back for another thrilling season.

The show sees teams race to a finish line thousands of miles away, without the aid of air travel or modern conveniences. The upcoming 12,500km race will feature familiar faces such as presenter Jeff Brazier and his son Freddie, crossing the Amazon rainforest to the Andes with only a limited budget and a map to guide them.

After his split from Jade Goody, Jeff began a relationship with PR manager Kate Dwyer in 2013. The couple were together for four years before he proposed to her in Ibiza in 2017.

Jade and Jeff's sons Bobby and Freddie played the role of best man at their father's wedding to Kate. The beautiful cliff-top ceremony took place in Portugal in September 2018.

In 2019, reports surfaced that the couple was having marital problems, and in 2022, they announced their separation. Both moved out of their shared home, and Jeff's two sons moved to new areas.

But in a surprising turn of events, the couple reconciled and got back together in 2023. When a follower asked her for advice on how to save a marriage, Kate replied: “I think we are all guilty of only portraying the good sides on social media. Anyone who says marriage and raising children is easy is lying in my opinion. I felt like a failure until I realized that everyone has their problems.”
