Jeff Brazier stormed off after he and son Freddie had a very tense exchange just hours into their month long journey on Celebrity Race Across The World.
During Wednesday's opening episode The TV presenter, 45, was left furious after the 19-year-old claimed the family did not speak openly to each other and as as result he 'keeps quiet'.
Freddie opted not to tell his father he wanted food from the cafe, so Jeff tried to reassure him that their budget was to share.
Saying: 'You don't have to do things on the quiet, surely it only makes life easier for us as a family if we're all just honest '
Freddie interjected: 'I don't think we are even open as a family though, I stay quiet because I feel like thats what everyone else does.

Furious, Jeff asked: 'Are you joking? Freddie don't be unfair, what have I done for the last seven or eight years?'.
'Talking' Freddie replied, seemingly smiling nervously.
Jeff snapped: 'Right well don't say that I don't, take responsibility that's part of this!' before storming off and leaving his son alone at the table.
Jeff shares Freddie andBobby, 21, with late Big Brother legend Jade Goody - who died in 2009 at the age of 27 following a battle with cervical cancer.
And earlier in the episode he revealed he'd signed up for the show in a bid to help his youngest sonfind a 'greater self worth'.
Revealing Freddie still lived and despite it being 'cute' Jeff said he would soon need an 'exit plan', as Freddie admitted: 'I still need my Dad'.
Jeff then told the camera during one candid moment: 'I've seen my son struggle, I know what he needs is a greater sense of purpose, self worth and confidence'.
Adding: 'So something like [Celebrity Race Across The World], of course we are going to grab with both hands'.

The teenager - whose brother stars in EastEnders and last year reached the final of Strictly Come Dancing - admitted that he is not quite sure what his future holds just yet.
He said: 'Right no I’m figuring out what I’m going to do with my life.
'I think that’s quite tough. Who is Freddie Brazier? I don’t know, but I hope the race will help me find who I am'.
Jeff also that he was most looking forward to getting to spend some time with his son as they join a host of other famous faces on the reality travel show.
He said: 'The thing I'm most looking forward to is I feel like I'm going to learn a lot more about my son.
'He isn't at home loads and as a result I don't see loads of him, but the beauty of this trip is that he's with me and he can't shake me off'.
But Jeff also joked that Freddie is 'not the best decision maker' as he recounted to his son on camera that he had gone off to meet a girl instead of packing for their trip.
He said: 'One of those moments was last night when you should have been packing for our trip but instead you travelled to see a girl. Classic Fred.'
The gruelling show sees teams of two race across an area of the world using any means of transportation other than air travel.
In The Daily Mail's definitive review of the new series, Christopher Stevens welcomed the show's return, joking that it was 'an answer to Britain's overcrowding crisis'.
Ahead of the first episode Jeff toldThe Daily Starnewspaper's HOTTV column: 'I wanted to take part because the travel element is an absolute privilege, but also to share it with my son and to be able to make those memories.
And earlier in the episode he revealed he'd signed up for the show in a bid to help his youngest son find a 'greater self worth'
Reavling that his youngest still lives at home, Freddie admitted 'I still need my Dad'

'He's not a child anymore, he's a young adult. I feel like at some point he's going to move out and I'll lose him. So, I guess I'm just trying to squeeze every last bit out of him that I can.'
Meanwhile Freddie said:It'll be nice to spend that time with Dad, just me and my dad.
'Dad's got a busy life, he works a lot and there aren't loads of times where we've done stuff just the two of us.
'But when we do I'm really lucky whether it's going to the cinema, going to the driving range, it's all good.
The famous faces will say goodbye to lavish transport, smartphones and bank cards and instead must rely on their skills, cunning and ingenuity as well as the kindness of strangers
