Kelly Brook and Jeremy Parisi are one of the five couples who have been competing in the BBC reality show and the pair have been left disappointed by their performance
TV star Kelly Brook has expressed her disappointment as she and her husband Jeremy Parisi head into the final stretch of ‘Celebrity Race Across The World’.
Despite being proud of their performance on the BBC show, where they’ve been competing against celebs like Jeff Brazier and Scott Mills, Kelly feels they should be further ahead. She shared: “I think we are quite disappointed in ourselves. We feel that we are good racers, we’ve made some good decisions and we’ve also budgeted well.”
“So, to be neck and neck with everybody feels a little bit like all of that has been for nothing, because we had hoped that we would advance a lot further than everyone. We have sacrificed a lot. We’ve sacrificed things we’ve wanted to see and Jeremy has sacrificed meals. Having made all those sacrifices and still having another week to go, it’s quite disheartening.”
While Jeremy remains “still confident”, Kelly admits to feeling “a little bit defeated”. Yet, she also said: “It has been way more epic than I thought it was going to be. It has been other-worldly – some of the things we have been able to see and things we have experienced. We will really miss the race, we will miss everybody and we will miss being a part of something incredible.”
Eager to return to South America with credit cards and phones in hand, Kelly acknowledged that not having these gave them “an element of freedom”. She shared her exhilarating experience: “There is still an element of comfort because you’ve got the safety of being part of a production, but I’ve never felt freedom like this in any job or any other part of my life. Even when you go on holiday, you’re not free. You are still tied to certain home comforts. I feel wild and free.”
