In 2023, Denyer competed on the seventh season of The Amazing Race Australia with his wife, Cheryl.

In the second leg of the race in Agra, India, he collapsed due to the extreme heat, reaching 45 °C (113 °F).

He had to be driven to the pit stop for that leg of the race after all other racers had finished, and was subsequently bedridden for seven weeks afterwards.

He speculated this was due to his severe mould allergy, as one of the challenges involved handling cow manure.

It premiered on 29 January 2024.

Denyer has been nominated four times for the Logie Award for Best Presenter award at the TV Week Logie Awards.
