Race Across The World is without a doubt one of the most wholesome and enjoyable shows on television, so when we heard they were doing a Race Across The World Celebrity version, we were besides ourselves! The show follows four pairs as they attempt to race across Europe, touching in at various different check points, with a set budget and the inability to travel by air or use their phones.
Season two of Race Across The World is on its way, with four new pairs of famous people and their companion heading on the trip of a lifetime. This time around, the eight contestants will start their journey in the Amazon in Belém, Northern Brazil, before travelling through five checkpoints in South America, towards the finish line in the Andes, Frutillar in Southern Chile.
But who is taking part in the show? Here's a look at the Race Across The World Celebrity line up, including who the celebs and their travel partners are.
