On your marks, get set, go: A new series of Celebrity Race Across The World is finally here on the BBC.
This autumn, a new group of celebs step away from their lives of luxury and try, by hook or by crook, to make their way thousands of miles with only their own common sense to guide them.
As such, the celeb pairings will have to rely on each other, local transport, and random strangers they meet along the way to win the race.
Series four of the BAFTA-winning show will see the stars trek across Southeast Asia and Australia in hopes of winning eternal glory; that’s right, there’s no cash prize for the celebs.
