| Updated:

Celebrity Race Across the World 2025 crowns its winners tonight – but if you’re planning to tune in, you’ll need to know what time it starts.

The finale airs this evening on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, bringing Roman and Harleymoon Kemp, Molly Rainford and Tyler West, Anita and Bal Rani, and Dylan and Jackie Llywelyn to their final checkpoint after six weeks on the road.

Across 4,500 gruelling kilometres, the pairs have hitchhiked, budgeted and battled their way through one challenge after another. Now all that’s left is the final dash to the finish line.

By the end of tonight’s Celebrity Race Across the World final episode, we’ll finally know who’s conquered the continent – and who’ll be heading home just shy of victory.

Who won last week’s leg on Celebrity Race Across the World?

The penultimate leg saw the teams racing to their fifth checkpoint in Columbia. Dylan and Jackie began the show in the lead, but they definitely didn’t end it that way…

The teams had to travel by boat and air to Medellin and much of their journey was very remote. Tyler in particularly really struggled with staying in the jungle.

Not only did he find it a battle to cope with all the creepy crawlies, but he found the lack of control tough. In emotional scenes, Tyler spoke to Molly about a traumatic moment in his teens where he saw a man stabbed to death.

Roman also featured in heartbreaking moment with his sister Harleymoon. The TV and radio star has spoken about his mental health throughout the series and was in tears last week.

Roman thanked Harleymoon after previously making a desperate phone call to her while he was suicidal. He told his sister she had ‘saved his life’ that day.

The penultimate leg was won my Molly and Tyler, with Roman and Harleymoon close behind in second place. But as the show ended, Anita and Bal were nowhere to be seen.

Dylan and Jackie were shown 370km away counting money in a hostel. They had just £14 left for the final leg of the journey. Eek!

Who won series 2?

Whoever wins this series is in great company. Series 2 was triumphed by Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills and his husband Sam Vaughan.

They were followed in second place by actor Kola Bokinni and his cousin, Mary-Ellen Moriarty. Jeff Brazier and his son Freddy were third. And Kelly Brook – who has just appeared in I’m A Celebrity – and her husband Jeremy Parisi came last.

The series was set in South America, with celebrities challenged to make five legs across Brazil and Argentina. No one ran out of money, but Jeff and Freddy were the most thrifty. They finished with £101 in their pockets, while winners Scott and Sam had £24 left.

Roman, whose dad is Spandau Ballet singer and I’m A Celebrity star Martin Kemp, has arguably been the most money-conscious during this series of Celebrity Race Across the World.

Speaking about his penny-pinching ahead of tonight’s final, Roman said: “Maybe I’d spend a bit more money and have some proper dinners [if I did it again]. Genuinely, my whole concern was that we were going to run out of money.

“And, you know, Harley and I are considered classic Nepo kids, and I didn’t want to run out and people think that we didn’t know the value of money – look at them, they’ve run out already.”
