Harry and Izzy Judd discuss bringing up their baby son

Harry Judd broke down during filming for Celebrity Race Across the World.

The new BBC series will see Harry, Alex Beresford, Billy Monger and Mel Blatt travelling from Morocco to Norway as part of the popular series.

Both Harry and Mel chose their mums as their travel partner, while Alex brought along his dad and Billy chose his sister, Bonny.

Speaking about the struggle of missing his wife and three children, he admitted: “One morning, I had a 20-minute call with my family and I completely broke down.

“I’ve never missed my wife so much. I went into mum’s room and had a bit of a cry.”

Speaking to OK Magazine, he went on to talk about his decision to bring his mum with him.

Harry, who took part and won the 2011 series of Strictly Come Dancing, stated: “I’m the youngest of three and was a mummy’s boy growing up,.

“Then suddenly at 17, I was in this band and just so busy – the dynamic of our relationship shifted a lot.

“I didn’t consider the impact that my leaving had on mum and now having children myself, I can relate to what she went through.”

Starting in Marrakech, Morocco, the most north-western country in Africa, and ending in Tromsø, Norway, the epic journey will see the famous faces span 24 countries and over 10,000 km.

The route will see the pairs race through every landscape and culture that this part of the world has to offer: from the great North African city of Marrakech, through the seaside ports and beaches of the Mediterranean, to unrivalled historic and cosmopolitan cities, the mighty Alps, unexplored Central Europe, the fairy-tale Baltic States, and snowy Scandinavia.

The celebrity version of the much-loved series will be a six-parter and the four celebrities and their racing partners will race to a finish line that’s thousands of miles away – without the use of air travel or any trappings of modern-day life.

Celebrity Race Across the World will start on BBC One Wednesday, September 13 at 9pm.
