The TV personality, 45, was just nine when his father Stephen Faldo died after a pleasure boat he was captain of, The Marchioness, was involved in a horrific collision.
Jeff Brazier left Celebrity Race Across The World viewers in tears on Wednesday when he revealed how the loss of his father helped him navigate parenting his own grieving sons.
Saying: 'My experience in childhood probably really lent into how I've parented Bobby and Freddy. My mum, probably against everyone's opinions decided to have me even though she was only 15-years-old so I'm forever grateful for that'. 'I didn't ever have the company of my biological dad, he died when I was nine. I always obviously regret never meeting him, so when it came to me being a dad I was always going to make sure that they had the experience of me that i would have liked to have had from him'.
While choking back tears he continued: 'I don't really remember being held by my mum. If I had more memories of her, it would have made it a whole lot harder for me.
