Rucksacks Ready! Celebrity Race Across the World starts 14th Aug!!!

[diian]

It is going through South America.

"The four new famous faces embarking on an epic 12,500 km race of a lifetime are:
Broadcaster Jeff Brazier and his son, Freddy
Actor Kola Bokinni and his cousin, Mary Ellen
Broadcaster Kelly Brook and her husband, Jeremy
Radio 2 host Scott Mills and his husband (then fiancé), Sam"

"Their journey begins in Belém, Northern Brazil - the gateway to the Amazon - and will pass through five checkpoints across the length of South America, to reach the finish line in the Andes, Frutillar in Southern Chile."

Looking forward to it!

Great. I enjoyed the last Celebrity Race Across the World and I didn't know who most of the "celebs" were then either!

Glad to find this thread

Very looking forward to it

Checking in, my absolute favourite programme!

Checking in. Boarding card in hand. Have no idea who any of these celebrities are but I don't care. I love this show.

The last celebrity RATW made me book Seville. It did not disappoint! It is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever visited. Would love to go to Tromso. I have never visited South America.

looking forward to it, apart from kelly brook.

I've travelled through South America but 20 years ago and I've not been to Brazil or Argentina.

I loved Chile so much, can't quite understand why I've not been back. So excited to see all the gorgeous scenery and dodgy buses.

Joining this thread, love this programme and the last Celebrity one was really good

Signing in for the first leg!

Ta for thread @diian , i'm in and really looking forward to it!

Oooh oooh here we go!

Can’t wait. Love Kelly, she’s funny

Part time worker, Jeff? What does that even mean!

Checking in (and expecting to add more places to my extensive ‘to visit’ list).

The wildlife in the intro already has me drooling.

Oooh, South America - I know nothing about the countries there really,

Checking in!

Can't say I'm a fan of Kelly but she might grow on me...

The Braziers..hmm ok

Love Scott Mills

Don't know who the other one is

Scott and his partner look like brothers!

That doesn't seem like enough money at all!

Like them all but rooting for Jeff and his boy. I think they’ll more easily slum it than the others

The Braziers look weighed down with extra baggage. I wonder if the tent is allowed. Good way of saving money on accommodation if it is. But it looks like it will slow them down

Agree @Malcorange, i think Jeff is great

The only people I know on this are Kelly Brook and Scott Mills….

Jeremy has his work cut out

I like that Scott and his partner are going to work.
