Bless the famouses. They can be so cute. Here they are, explaining why they are taking part in the first celebrity version of Race Across the World – it’s called Celebrity Race Across the World. It’s to “unplug from the matrix”. It’s to “feel and smell” cultures, instead of being insulated from everything on tour. It’s to travel incognito, freed from the pressures of fame.
So, off they set, with nothing but a handful of paper maps (no phones allowed!) and a camera crew recording their every move as they attempt to get themselves and their companions from Marrakech in Morocco (it was filmed before the recent earthquake) to Tromsø in Norway ASAP. But it’s on a budget and they are not allowed to fly, so they are just like you and me for the duration.
