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."

KB is going to be a pain

The whole of Brazil has only two train lines?!

Checking in.
Loved the last time they went to South America- series 2.

I thought that, 😂

Aren't there usually 5 couples?

Ah what a lovely Dad Jeff is, they're my favourite as well as Scott & his partner. Agree KB is a pain! Poor Jeremy!

Think it was just 4 last year

I think there were only 4 in the last celebrity one

😁Jeff has landed Fred straight in at the deep end, fair play

Jeff seems to have done a great job raising his boys.

Loved Freddy with the chicken! And both of their hopes for what they’ll get out of this.

I'm pleased that Jeff did it with the 'other' son rather than Bobby who is already really well known (unless Freddy is?)

Thats why i admire him Soup

I love the programme as much just to see the world. It's such a wonderfully beautiful place.

If you read Jeff's Wikipedia he's had an interesting upbringing and life

Bobby B was a lovely young man when he was on Strictly.

Agree

They seem like a really nice family

Does she ever stop talking?

@Menstum

It would seem not!

Kelly did really well getting stuck in with the mangrove saplings in the rain and mud... no complaining at all

I would love to do it, but I think I'd just feel ill the whole time! Tired, travel sick, upset stomach, stressed, etc etc!

Imagine having an upset stomach on an overnight bus 😭

I never realised how much I missed this programme until the opening credits.
I like them all so far

I assume they have someone keeping them safe from muggers etc

Yes, if you read around the programme a bit, they actually have a little team travelling with them.
