Cheloo a vorbit despre consumul de substanțe interzise, la filmările Asia Express. În iunie, a fost internat la Psihiatrie, după ce și-a provocat o rană la nivelul gâtului

Cheloo revealed sensitive information about substance use during Asia Express, following a recent psychiatric hospitalization after a self-harm incident. He expressed frustration over not being picked up while hitchhiking in China, attributing it to his appearance but insisted he was not under the influence. His hospitalization in June was linked to the stress of the competition, which may have led to physical and mental exhaustion.
