Updated Wednesday 4 November 2026, before episode 2.
Celebrity Race Across the World 2026 cast: who is in it?
There are four teams, each a celebrity and someone close to them:
- Sam Ryder and his tour manager, Kaz
- Ella Eyre and her childhood friend, Nana
- Jeff Stelling and his son, Matt
- Princess Andre and her brother, Junior Andre
What is the route? Borneo to Melbourne
The race begins in Kuching, in Sarawak on the Malaysian side of Borneo, and ends in Melbourne. The route is roughly 7,500km. The listing for episode 2 has the teams still making their way across Borneo on the second leg, so we don’t expect Australia just yet. We haven’t found a reliable source naming the checkpoints beyond that, so we aren’t guessing.
How many episodes are there? Episode guide
There are six episodes. The first two are on BBC One at 8pm on Wednesdays.

When is the next episode, and when is the final?
Episode 2 is on Wednesday 4 November at 8pm. The series has been on Wednesday nights from the start, but listings only run about a week ahead, so episodes 3 to 6 and the final don’t have dates here yet. We add each one, and to our BBC One TV guide, as soon as it is listed.
Who won Celebrity Race Across the World 2026?
Nobody yet. With four episodes still to come, there is no winner to report, and we won’t name one until the final has aired.
