Overview
- Freddy Brazier said on the Terry Stone Connection podcast that he took money from the BBC‑allocated contestant budget to buy and smoke cannabis on a Brazilian beach during filming for Celebrity Race Across The World.
- He described the incident as happening on Mother’s Day in Brazil and said he climbed out of his hotel, bought about 3.5 grams of marijuana from local vendors and smoked while looking at the stars.
- Brazier framed the decision as a response to poor mental health, noting past episodes that led to being sectioned, earlier rehab stays and long‑running cannabis use since adolescence.
- The show gives contestants a small survival budget for travel and living costs, and outlets reporting the admission say they have contacted Race Across The World and Brazier’s representatives for comment but have not published an official response.
- The public disclosure could prompt scrutiny of production rules, possible disciplinary or legal questions over drug use abroad, and further media attention because of Brazier’s high‑profile family history and prior openness about his struggles.
