With the Celebrity Traitors castle about to reopen its doors, another of our favourite BBC reality shows has just unveiled the line-up for its star-studded counterpart.
On Thursday morning, the broadcaster unveiled the famous faces who will be appearing in the fourth iteration of Celebrity Race Across The World later this year.
As ever, the teams are made up of celebrities and their friends and families, with four duos set to traverse continents as they head 7,500km from Malaysia to Australia with no phone access, no bank cards and no access to plane travel.
Who is in the cast of Celebrity Race Across The World 2026?
The full line-up is as follows:
Jasmyn McGuile, the commissioning editor for the BBC’s factual entertainment shows, enthused: “Audiences have been asking when the Race might reach Australia, so we are delighted that they will be able to experience this unique journey for the first time in Celebrity Race Across the World.
“With an adventurous start in Borneo’s Sarawak rainforest, another series first, it makes for an unmissable opener for this year’s celebrity teams.”
A rep for the production company Studio Lambert also said: “This year’s pairs navigate a journey that lays bare two extremes of today’s world. We can’t wait to share how they get on.
“Contestants give unfiltered and honest reactions to the experiences they face that are as demanding as they are joyful. That’s so rare on television and it’s clear audiences love seeing their favourite stars deal with these daring challenges in spectacular worlds.”
The most recent season of Race Across The World was won by Roman and Harleymoon Kemp, the son and daughter of Martin and Shirley Kemp, after a mammoth trek across central and South America.
Since it launched in 2019, Race Across The World and its celebrity edition have both been a hit with viewers, winning a TV Bafta in the Best Reality And Constructed Factual category back in 2020, as well as scoring an additional nomination for its second run.
