CELEBRITY RACE ACROSS THE WORLD RETURN DATE CONFIRMED FOR NEW SERIES ON BBC ONE

BAFTA award-winning Celebrity Race Across the World from producers Studio Lambert, returns on Thursday 6th November at 8pm on BBC One. The brand-new group of celebrity pairings for this eagerly awaited third series have now been revealed.

Swapping luxury for backpacks and comfort for the unknown, the four celebrity duos embarking on the ultimate adventure are: Broadcaster and writer Anita Rani and her dad, Bal; actor Dylan Llewellyn and his mum, Jackie; partners, presenter and DJ Tyler West and actor and singer, Molly Rainford and broadcaster Roman Kemp and his sister, singer-songwriter, Harleymoon.

This series takes the race through one of the most diverse and visually stunning routes yet, spanning the undiscovered Caribbean and Pacific coast of Central America.

The journey begins on the idyllic Caribbean island of Isla Mujeres, just off the easternmost point of Mexico and challenges teams to race 5,900km to reach the finish line in the remote and breathtaking Península de La Guajira in Colombia – the gateway to South America.

The familiar faces will say goodbye to lavish transport, smartphones and bank cards and instead must rely on limited budgets, local transport and their own resourcefulness, as well as the kindness of strangers. Relationships will be tested and transformed as they discover the world, and themselves, in ways they never expected.

Tim Harcourt, Chief Creative Officer, Studio Lambert said: “The series’ success is a testament to how much audiences connect with the show’s raw emotion, incredible journeys, and heartfelt human stories. This series brings a new set of celebrities into that world and what makes it so special is watching them open up, bond, and grow through a life-changing experience. It’s inspiring, unpredictable, and full of those powerful moments that have made the format such a hit with viewers.”

Catherine Catton, Head of Commissioning, Factual Entertainment and Events said: “Celebrity Race Across the World is always a highlight of the year, and we are really looking forward to setting off with a new group of famous faces and their loved ones on an incredible journey full of twists and turns.”

Celebrity Race Across The World  returns on Thursday 6th November at 8pm on BBC One.
