This season's odyssey will see our contestants starting off on a Caribbean island before making their way through a series of checkpoints on their way to the finish live in Colombia's Peninsula de La Guajira – the gateway to South America.
So, who are the famous faces setting off on Celebrity Race Across the World 2025?
This article first appeared in Radio Times magazine.
Roman and Harleymoon Kemp
Why did you sign up to take part in Race Across the World?
Harleymoon: My mum [Shirlie Kemp, a former backing singer for Wham! and half of Pepsi & Shirlie] was asked to be in the first celebrity Race across the World and was going to take me, but thought it sounded too hard. I was glad to have another chance to go.
Harleymoon: The feeling of being constantly lost!
What non-essential items did you pack?
Roman: When I did I’m a Celebrity…, I put tissue paper in my ears and covered my eyes with a bandana each night. During RATW, I had a fluffy lavender eye mask and before bed I’d inhale the smell, put my ear plugs in and pass out.
Roman: Really nice! Getting local buses gave us a grasp of the countries we were in. People think we are nepo kids with no idea of the value of money, but we wanted that taste of reality more than anyone.
Roman: No way! I had to get a connecting flight with him once and he couldn’t get his head around it.
What aspect of your character was least helpful in the race?
Harleymoon: We are very close, but very different. Growing up, Roman was a sensitive homebird and I was a rock ’n’ roll teenager. I’ve got a short attention span. Ro would be talking about his worries, and I couldn’t remember what he was talking about. Or I’d fall asleep. But I learnt to listen to him as the race progressed, and we understood each other for the first time.
Molly Rainford and Tyler West
Why did you sign up to Race across the World?
You became a couple after meeting on Strictly Come Dancing in 2022. Was your relationship put to the test on the race?
Tyler: There were times when I thought about trading Molly for a mountain goat to get some extra money to race! But it obviously worked out in the end, because we got engaged after the trip…
What did you learn about yourselves?
Tyler: It taught me to slow down. There are times when you physically can’t travel due to circumstances beyond your control.
Molly: It wasn’t ideal when we found bed bugs in our room, but we took a leap into the unknown, started to have a brilliant time and wanted the race to keep going for ever.
Tyler: At home I’m very in control. But I developed my mental strength and didn’t want the race to end. It was us against the world.

Why did you sign up to the race?
Bal: She said, "Dad, are you up for an adventure?" I presumed it was a weekend away, but I’m not afraid of adventures and I wanted to get to know Anita better. We’re very similar: outgoing and independent, with the same sense of humour.
Anita: Maybe an hour into the race, the cameras were rolling and Dad was telling me off about something and I turned into teenage me, stomping and pouting.
What did you learn about yourselves?
Anita: I can’t let things go. Being driven – not just in work, but in every aspect of life – is a blessing and a curse.
Anita Having a camera crew following you around is pretty tough, and the anxiety of waking up every day and knowing you have to formulate a plan to get from A to B. But it was super fun as well.
What non-essential items did you pack?
Anita: We both packed resistance bands because Dad’s really into exercise. I was convinced we were going to East Africa. I had the route mapped out. I’d even been drilling Dad in Swahili. I was happy because we’d get to eat loads of curry and see all the temples. We’ll have to save that trip for another time!
Dylan Llewellyn and mum Jackie
What made you sign up?
Jackie: I was terrified, but I thought I should push myself. It was also a fantastic chance to spend time with Dylan now that he’s all grown up.
Dylan: We were so slow to get going. Approaching strangers for help was one of our biggest struggles. We’re both quite self-conscious. It was so awkward. Over time we became really good at it and started one-upping each other.
Dylan: We’re stronger than we thought. We might hide that strength in day-to-day life, but you can’t when you’re thrown into the deep end.
What were the biggest challenges?
Jackie: We were close to giving up at the start, but we managed to stick it out. We both felt despair when we weren’t getting anywhere. Those were very low moments. I probably only had four hours’ sleep a night. I couldn’t stop thinking about the race. I’m sure I look like a wreck!
Jackie: Probably when we really messed up and ended up crying with laughter.
