Razor Ruddock’s Eye-Opening Countryside Journey on BBC’s Escape to the Country
So, there’s been a lot of chatter lately about Neil “Razor” Ruddock, and it’s all thanks to his latest appearance on BBC’s Celebrity Escape to the Country. The former England defender, who’s been a familiar face in Ashford for decades, recently took viewers along on a surprisingly reflective journey through the Kent countryside with his wife, Leah. And honestly, it felt like we were seeing a very different side of the football hardman.
The episode followed Razor and Leah as they explored rural parts of Kent they’d barely known existed, despite having lived in the county for years. Winding country lanes, tucked-away villages, and picture-perfect settings were all part of the experience, and it was admitted by Razor that the whole thing came as a real eye-opener. It was said that even after so long in Ashford, many of these quiet villages had completely escaped his radar.

Joined by presenter Nicki Chapman, who herself has Kent roots, the couple toured homes in places like Bredgar, Hartlip, Brenchley, and Doddington. Some of the properties clearly made an impression, and it was openly shared that a few of them were genuinely fallen in love with. Still, it was made clear that this wasn’t about an immediate move. With their daughter still in school and family life firmly based in Ashford, a big relocation just isn’t practical right now.
What made the episode stand out, though, was how personal it felt. Razor described the experience as very different from his previous reality TV outings, saying it was calmer, warmer, and more revealing. The countryside lifestyle, in particular, was described as Leah’s dream, and Razor openly admitted that when it comes to homes and style, his wife is very much the boss. That honesty added a lot of charm to the whole thing.
There was also a lighter, slightly spooky moment that caught viewers’ attention. During the show, Razor spoke about a terrifying paranormal experience at their current home, confessing that he went from total sceptic to believer after a strange incident that left him shaken. It was one of those moments that reminded everyone there’s more to him than just his tough-on-the-pitch reputation.
Ultimately, Kent was described by Razor as ticking every box. From countryside views and good food to beaches just half an hour away, it was said to feel like home in every sense. While no move is happening just yet, the journey clearly left its mark, and for viewers, it offered a rare glimpse of Razor Ruddock slowing down, looking ahead, and appreciating a different pace of life.
