Race Across The World fans are all saying the same thing as two contestants ‘rekindle their relationship’ on once-in-a-lifetime trip

Race Across The World fans all said the same thing about two contestants on the show that have ‘rekindled their relationship’ on the once in a lifetime trip. 

This year’s series of the BBC show has seen some interesting dynamics between those taking part. 

Yiz and Gaz – who were married for 30 years and are now friends – have certainly been a talking point over the last few weeks.

But others are very intrigued by brothers Brian and Melvyn’s relationship.  

While fishing in Puzheheicun, western China, during Wednesday’s instalment of the programme, the siblings opened up about their upbringing. 

Brian told the camera: ‘Mum was quite hard work. We weren’t a particularly loving family…

Race Across The World fans all said the same thing as they confessed that they are 'obsessed' with a pair of the contestants on the show as they watch them 'rekindle their relationship'

‘We don’t know to this day really why I was sent off to school and Melvyn went to secondary school, and then joined the army. 

‘I didn’t feel as though I’m special I’m privileged, the opposite. 

‘It was “why was I being sent away?”‘

While fishing, Brian said: ‘I still can’t get my head around to this day, I was never told that you were going to private school, or boarding school.

‘You just went… It was “Your brother is going there” and that’s happening, it just happened.’

To camera, Melyvn said: ‘The way it made me feel, they must be looking at the way I’m turning out and don’t want Brian to turn out how I am and they’ll send him there.’ 

Trying to control his emotion, he added: ‘I’d like to think we can get rid of the ghosts.’ 

Then Brian confessed that talking about their upbringing is something that they don’t usually do.

Those watching at home rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their thoughts on the dynamics. 

Many wrote about their interest in their relationship, while others posted how much they love them both as people.  

One said: ‘Obsessed with this weird mystery about why one of these brothers went to boarding school and the other didn’t like I’m gonna need a documentary done diving deeper into this now #raceacrosstheworld.’ 

‘Love Brian and Melvin opening up about their relationship it’s nice to see them showing some vulnerability as they discuss their upbringing.’

‘Watching Brian and Melvin rekindle their relationship is absolutely brilliant.’

‘(2/2) #RaceAcrossTheWorld Such a lovely moment in the race tonight at the lake when Brian and Melvin touched on thier relationship and talked about their upbringing. They have such a enriched bond and I’m continuing to back them all the way on this race. Come on lads!’

‘Really need to know why Brian and Melvin went to different schools.’
