Celebrity Race Across the World cast: who are the stars in the 2025 series? Full line-up
The race is on but which celebrities are competing this time around? 🏃♂️🏃♀️
- Celebrity Race Across the World is back!
- Even more stars are taking on the competition.
- But who is competing in the 2025 series?
A brand new series of Celebrity Race Across the World will continue in a few hours. The stars are racing through the Americas this time around.
The BBC has assembled a fascinating line-up including actors, radio stars, musicians and more. The stars - and their loved ones - are swapping luxury for backpacks and comfort for the unknown.
For this series, the celebs will race through one of the most diverse and visually stunning routes yet. The route will take them through the undiscovered Caribbean and Pacific coast of Central America.
Who is in the cast of Celebrity Race Across the World?
Similar to the civilian version, pairs of contestants will be working together to race through the route in the quickest time possible. Only this time, at least one half of each pair will be a famous face.
The four pairs for this 2025 edition of the spin-off 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
- Broadcaster Roman Kemp and his sister, singer-songwriter, Harleymoon
The journey begins on the idyllic Caribbean Island of Isla Mujeres, the most eastern 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.
Anita Rani said: “I think all of it is going to be quite surprising. I think even though I've been on TV for such a long time, I'm not sure people really know much about me. So I think people will see a whole new side of me for the very first time.”
Dylan Llewlyn added: “I wanted to take part because it’s such an amazing experience to be had. I think it looks so beautiful and cool, and it's just a giant adventure and who wouldn't want to go on one of those?
“And to do it with my mum is a huge bonus. It's a once in a lifetime thing to do, and to do it with a loved one is even better.”
Molly Rainford said: “We haven't done any kind of travelling like this before. We always stick to our comfort zone, all inclusive, just one location. This will be a new experience.”
Tyler added: “It feels like we've been together for years and years but to do something like this would take our relationship to the next level and bring us closer together.”
Roman Kemp explained: “I am very lucky that I do a lot of stuff with my dad, and I think that the reason I do those things is I can't wait to show my kids or my grandkids what my relationship was like with my dad. With this, it's such a privilege to be able to do something so special with your sister.”
What time is Celebrity Race Across the World on?
It is going to be quite the fun Thursday on BBC One. The new series of Celebrity Race Across the World continues tonight (November 13) and will begin at 8pm.
The episode is due to run for around an hour and will finish just before 9pm. It will be followed by a DIY SOS: Children in Need special.
Remind yourself what happened in the Celebrity Traitors final last week. It followed the debut of Celebrity Race Across the World seven days ago.
