Race Across the World dominated the headlines earlier this year, and the final episode came down to a nail-biting finish at the southernmost tip of India.<\/p>\n
The series invites a group of pairs to make their way across a continent (or large country) with a limited budget, no phones and no prior knowledge of what part of the globe they\u2019ll be starting from.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
While you may be sad to see the show conclude its epic journey across China, Nepal and India, it\u2019s not all bad news. The BBC confirmed in its annual TV plan<\/a> that the celebrity version will return this autumn. <\/p>\n If you want to know about Celebrity Race Across the World 2025, including who the contestants are and when series 3 may air, we have everything you need to know. You can also read up on our predictions on who will make the final of Bake Off 2025<\/a> and 5 shows that\u2019ll make you cancel your Netflix subscription in September<\/a>.<\/p>\n The BBC hasn\u2019t confirmed when Celebrity Race Across the World series 3 will air, but we can guess when it may be. <\/p>\n The BBC Press Office has confirmed<\/a> that it will air \u201cthis autumn\u201d, so before December.<\/p>\n We know that The Celebrity Traitors<\/a> has now been confirmed to air from 8 October, with new episodes dropping every Wednesday and Thursday at 9pm. Based on that schedule, this show is set to wrap up on 5 November 2025. Of course, there is a chance that the BBC may air the final episode on the Friday, 31 October, as that would be a spooky Halloween treat.<\/p>\n Therefore, it\u2019s likely that Celebrity RATW will now air after The Celebrity Traitors \u2013 so it could start as early as 5<\/strong> November 2025, or the week after<\/strong>, depending on when The Celebrity Traitors finishes. The BBC may also take a break between the shows, just as it\u2019s doing between Stranded on Honeymoon Island and The Celebrity Traitors. <\/p>\n Either way, November 2025 seems like a safe bet. Typically, new episodes drop at 9pm on Wednesdays on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.\u00a0<\/p>\n BBC \/ Studio Lambert<\/p>\n<\/div>\n It\u2019s now been confirmed that the celebrities will be racing across the Caribbean and the Pacific coast of Central America<\/strong>. <\/p>\n They will begin at the stunning Isla Mujeres, which is just off the easternmost point of Mexico. From there, they\u2019ll travel a whopping 5,900km (stopping at checkpoints along the way) to eventually reach the Pen\u00ednsula de La Guajira in Colombia, which is the gateway to South America. <\/p>\n The press release mentions that a lot of the route is breathtaking\u2026 but remote, so public transport may be a real challenge this time around. <\/p>\n The BBC has revealed that the following contestants will be taking part in Celebrity Race Across the World 2025:<\/p>\n Before this information was published, Llewellyn was initially tipped by tabloid The Sun<\/a>, while Yahoo Entertainment<\/a> has reported Rainford teaming up with presenter, DJ and partner, Tyler West \u2013 the pair met competing on Strictly Come Dancing. The same publication has also named Kemp and his sister. <\/p>\n Anita Rani is the only name that was kept quiet in the rumour mill.<\/p>\n The only issue with Race Across the World possibly returning in the summer is that it may clash with any holiday you\u2019ve got planned.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n If you can\u2019t wait until you are home to catch all the action, then never fear. You can still access BBC iPlayer live, with the help of a VPN.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n VPNs (virtual private networks) allow you to browse the internet securely and privately by rerouting your IP address. One of the main benefits of using a VPN is that you can connect to servers from across the world, so websites believe that you\u2019re based in a different country.\u00a0<\/p>\n We\u2019ve found NordVPN<\/a> to be the best for unblocking BBC iPlayer thanks to its wide range of servers, affordable pricing and easy interface. There are other options you can check out<\/a>. <\/p>\n If you\u2019re travelling when Celebrity Race Across the World UK 2024 is on, then you can use this method \u2013 if you have a TV licence, of course. You can find further information in our iPlayer VPN guide<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n Here are the steps you need to take:\u00a0<\/p>\nWhen could Celebrity Race Across the World UK 2025 air?\u00a0<\/h2>\n
