The BBC is on a roll this autumn. Not content with giving us The Celebrity Traitors (aka one of the best pieces of TV currently on our screens), it’s also serving up a dose of glorious escapism this week thanks to Celebrity Race Across the World, which is set to air on BBC One this Thursday.
That’s right: some of Britain’s famous faces are back for a globetrotting trip that will see them race across a huge section of the world map with the aim of making it over the finish line first. The catch? They have to do it for the price of an airline fare between the start and end destinations – aka, not much money at all.
