Celebrity Race Across the World returns tonight as all four pairs dash toward their third checkpoint – but what time should you be tuning in?
Roman and Harleymoon Kemp, Molly Rainford and Tyler West, Anita and Bal Rani, plus Dylan and Jackie Llywelyn are all powering into the next leg of the race, with the gaps between them getting tighter by the day. But with a fresh route ahead, everything could shift in an instant.
Here’s the time you need to set aside tonight so you don’t miss a single twist, tantrum or tactical gamble on the road.
Who won last week’s leg in Celebrity Race Across the World?
The last episode of Celebrity Race Across the World was both an emotional and dramatic one. It began with Dylan breaking down in tears over the death of his older brother James. Both he and his mum Jackie were flooded with emotion as they attended a historic ceremony to honour the cacao tree and opened up about James dying.
Later in the show, Roman and Harleymoon, and Anita and Bal found their races being halted. Civil unrest on the routes they had chosen to travel along in Guatemala meant they had to be locked down by BBC producers.
But the violent Government protests didn’t hold them back. Anita and Bal still finished the leg in first place, with Roman and Harleymoon finishing in second. Molly and Tyler came next, with Dylan and Jackie last.
In the next episode, the four teams will be travelling to their third checkpoint. They are tasked with getting from their current base in El Salvador to Valle de Àngeles in Honduras.
How many episodes are in this series?
We are halfway through series 3 of Celebrity Race Across the World now. There are six episodes in the series and two have already aired. The next instalment will be episode 3 of 6.
Who won Celebrity Race Across the World 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 is now 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.
This year, Roman is the one most worried about money. He has even been called ‘Mr Shoestring’ by his frustrated sister Harleymoon! But that being said, they have the healthiest budget.
Molly and Tyler, meanwhile, are enjoying spending most of their money on food. They currently have the smallest budget.
What night is Celebrity Race Across the World on?
After a week-long wait, Celebrity Race Across the World is finally back tonight – and fans can breathe a sigh of relief. It’s returning to BBC One in its usual 8pm slot, running through to 9pm.
Even better, there’s no scheduling showdown with I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! this time. Once the hour is up, you can hop straight over to ITV1 and catch Roman’s dad, Martin Kemp, battling the jungle.
Two Kemps in one night? That’s the kind of viewing gift we’ll happily unwrap.
