dailyrecord.co.ukJeff Brazier has spoken candidly about the challenges of parenting his 19 year old son Freddy, admitting he's "not a perfect parent" but is proud of the support he offered during their time on Celebrity Race Around The World.The 45 year old TV star, who also has a 21 year old son Bobby, reflected on the experience of navigating South America with Freddy, saying: "I compliment him and I'm always trying to gee him up.
That is what people equate to good parenting. I'm not a perfect parent, but I am proud of how supportive I am. I definitely have my priorities straight in terms of his growth."Jeff acknowledged the difficulty of striking a balance between allowing Freddy to make mistakes and learn from them, while also being mindful of the impact on their team's performance in the competition.

I think the mistakes are more valuable, and it's difficult for a parent, especially when you're in a race environment, to not step in and not want to avoid those mistakes because it affects the team, not just the individual."Despite the challenges, Jeff expressed pride in Freddy's growth and development during the experience, saying: "But the balance was good.
