BBC Celebrity Race Across The World's Matt Stelling defends health condition

Matt Stelling, who appears on the BBC travel reality show Race Across the World alongside his father, former Sky Sports presenter Jeff Stelling, has responded to fan criticism about how the pair is coming across. In the second episode, shown Thursday, Jeff and Matt attempt to travel from Borneo to Australia using public transport for the cost of a plane ticket—only for a shared taxi to go wrong. What should have been a lengthy ride becomes a punishing 14-hour trip in a packed car that sends them to the wrong destination and forces stops to deliver parcels. In a post on Reddit, Matt said only a small fraction of filming is edited into episodes and defended their “health condition,” adding that his twitchy eyes reflect nervousness in front of the camera.
