Now, the participants have now officially been announced and it’s been confirmed the journey will take the celebs from Africa to the Arctic.The famous faces who will go-head-to head on the race of their lives are, Good Morning Britain's Alex Beresford and his dad, Noel; singer Mel Blatt and her mum, Helene; McFly drummer Harry Judd and his mum, Emma and British Racing Driver and pundit Billy Monger and his sister, Bonny.
In this new version of the much-loved series, the celebrities and their partners will begin their journey in Marrakech, Morocco and race to a finish line thousands of miles away. On joining the show, Alex says, “I thought it was a fantastic opportunity to do something that we've never done before.
Neither of us have ever backpacked, so it's a new experience. “And, also, just to see some amazing places! Across continents and across countries, and you’re getting to see everything at ground level, so it’s completely different to just flying over – getting to immerse yourself in different cultures and communities.” It might be a shock for the racers as they are stripped of all luxuries like credit cards, smartphones and access to the internet.
All Saints singer Mel gives her reasons for joining the show, “For the experience,” she confirms. “To be out of my comfort zone, to do something that I wouldn't necessarily choose to do on my own.
