Celeb Race Across The World full line-up revealed as Strictly stars, EastEnders actress & I’m A Celeb favourite sign up

A very famous brother and sister duo will be taking on the challenge

Celebrity Race Across the World full line-up has been revealed

Strictly Come Dancing stars, an EastEnders actress and an I’m A Celebrity favourite are all competing in the new series.

Swapping luxury for backpacks and comfort for the unknown, the four celebrity duos embarking on the ultimate adventure.

Our familiar faces will say goodbye to lavish transport, smartphones and bank cards and instead must rely on limited budgets, local transport, as well as the kindness of strangers.

Relationships will be tested as they discover the world, and themselves, in ways they ever expected.

Here we take a look at the celebrity line-up…

BBC soap star Molly Rainford, 24, and KISS DJ Tyler West, 29, have signed up.

The Sun revealed in May that the couple, who found romance on the Strictly in 2022, have taken on the gruelling travel challenge together.

Swapping ballrooms for backpacks, fans will see the pair dash across continents without flights or mobile phones.

A TV insider told The Sun: “Molly and Tyler are a huge coup for the show.

“They’re popular with millions of viewers from their stints on Strictly, and Molly will bring in loads of EastEnders fans too.

“They are a very adventurous pair and have brilliant chemistry, so bosses are confident they will become huge fan favourites.”

EastEnders star Molly rose to fame for her performance on Britain’s Got Talent when she was just 11 years old.

Tyler began his presenting career on CBBC before being snapped up by Kiss FM for his very own show.

The couple fell head over heels for each other when they both took to the Strictly dance floor in 2022.

In August, Tyler got down on one knee and proposed to Molly while holidaying in Mykonos, Greece.

Strictly Come Dancing star Anita Rani, 47, will be taking on the challenge alongside her father Bal.

The daughter and father duo will be kicking off the competition along with the other stars – as they travel through undiscovered Caribbean and Pacific coast of Central America.

And this is not the first time she’s teamed up with her dad for a TV project.

Anita teamed up with her dad for two episodes of Channel 4 show Celebrity Gogglebox back in 2020.

At the time, the presenter shared a photo alongside Bal and wrote: “Spent my life shouting at the telly with Dad. From Friday we’ll be shouting on yours. @c4gogglebox just got a load more #Yorkshire and #punjabi this IS bloody exciting @channel4.”

Anita’s exciting new TV adventure comes after The Sun revealed her mystery man following her split.

The British radio split from her husband Bhupi Rehal in 2023 after 14 years of marriage.

Now The Sun can exclusively report how the broadcaster’s new love – who was seen cosying up to her at a music gig this summer – is Alex Lavery.

Hollyoaks actor Dylan Llewellyn, 32, will be joining his mum Jackie on the BBC show.

Dylan, appeared on the soap over a decade ago before finding major success on other shows.

The Sun revealed in June that he was swapping TV sets and bright lights for a gruelling travel challenge in the hit BBC series.

From 2011 to 2012, Dylan played Martin “Jono” Johnson in Hollyoaks.

But he achieved wider stardom with his role in Derry Girls as James Maguire.

Set in the late 90s, the sitcom followed a group of girls (and one boy) navigating life in Derry, Northern Ireland during The Troubles.

In particular, life in their Catholic school under headmistress Sister George Michael.

Dylan played the lead role in Channel 4 sitcom Big Boys, where he portrayed a semi-fictionalised version of creator Jack Rooke.

His character, Jack, was introduced as a shy and closeted University student grieving his father’s death.

The show ultimately concluded earlier this year after three series on air.

Since 2023, Dylan has co-starred as PC Kelby Hartford in BBC’s Beyond Paradise.

Radio star and presenter Roman Kemp, 32, and his country singer sister Harleymoon Kemp, 36, are also in the line-up.

We revealed in April that the brother and sister duo were teaming up for the show.

A source said at the time: “Roman and Harley were approached to take part in the show and they jumped at the chance.

“They have been filming it for the past few weeks and have had a ball.

“Roman and Harley have a great relationship and their dynamic is hilarious so they’re bound to pick up some fans along the way.

“It’s been lovely for Roman to work with his sister, and to take on a challenge like this has been something he’s wanted to do for a long time.

“The BBC have really been championing Roman so signing him up was a no-brainer.”

The former I’m A Celeb star, who quit his radio show last year, will see his series air later this year.

The pair will battle against four other famous duos as they attempt to navigate thousands of miles on a shoestring budget and without the help of modern technology.

The last series of Celebrity Race Across the World aired last August and saw famous faces including Kelly Brook, Scott Mills, Jeff Brazier and Kola Bokinni race across South America.

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 Península de La Guajira in Colombia – the gateway to South America.
