In His Own Words:Rant's Shock News

Inside the new crisis that’s rocked their world.

Despite two horrific motorsport accidents that left him with a broken back in eight places, a fractured sacrum and two shattered hands, Family Feud host Grant Denyer has made the shocking decision to get back behind the wheel.

The father-of-two revealed last week that he was determined to race again, despite crashing at 160km/h in a rally car accident in March – ignoring suggestions that he shouldn’t tempt fate after yet another near-death smash.

And while his loving wife Cheryl has remained publicly supportive of her Gold Logie nominee husband’s racing career, the mum is said to be privately anxious about his recent decision to get back on the track.

‘Chezzi and Grant are each other’s whole world, and she’d be lost without him,’ says a source close to the couple. ‘They’ve got two little girls, and Chezzi is just worried that Grant has had two near misses where he was fortunate to walk away alive.

‘What if he’s not so lucky the next time? Chezzi loves Grant and left the decision to race completely up to him, but she can’t help but feel a little bit betrayed. She just doesn’t want something bad to happen to him, and can’t help but think his decision to race again is a little selfish.’
