Get to know Ben and Jackie from The Amazing Race.

If you're a fan of The Real Housewives of Melbourne you've probably seen Jackie Gillies's face before, if so, you might also be as excited as us that psychic Jackie and former Silverchair drummer Ben Gillies (who, you guessed it, is her husband) are teaming up for the upcoming season of The Amazing Race. 

The busy couple has shared how excited they are to team up for this amazing adventure and are looking forward to experiencing 'being present' on this journey. 

Jackie describes their couple duo as a, "very fun, happy, out there, passionate couple," saying that they're really competitive but are embracing this once-in-a-lifetime experience as something bigger.

"You are completely out of control of your destiny. You just need to enjoy it, and I am looking forward to that," said the drummer.

Jackie and Ben are competing on behalf of the Moira Kelly Creating Hope Foundation, an organisation designed to provide all kinds of support for displaced women and children around the world.
