Luke McGregor readily confesses to New Idea that he had to confront a long list of fears to take part in The Amazing Race Australia: Celebrity Edition.
Luke 41, is competing with his mum, Julie, on the reality TV show – which meant sharing a hotel room together every night.
“That’s not something I’ve done since I was a very little kid,” he explains. “I’ve got sleep apnea and Mum snores, so I was really worried about that aspect.”
Being an introvert and having to ask strangers – who possibly don’t speak English – for help or directions also caused Luke to squirm.
“Mum was so good at that,” he says. “If we were lost, I’d rather pace around in a circle for ages rather than speak to a stranger to get help, but Mum would just get straight in there!”
Luke’s biggest fear however, was sunburn.
