Celebrity Race Across the World 2026 to begin in Kuching

The fourth series of the adventure travel show, Celebrity Race Across the World, is set to premiere on Wednesday, 28 October. Four celebrity pairs will embark on a journey spanning approximately 7,500km across three countries and two continents.

The race begins in Kuching, located in the Malaysian state of Sarawak on the island of Borneo, and concludes in Melbourne, Australia. Participants are required to travel overland or by sea using local transport such as buses, trains, and boats. The competition enforces strict limitations, including a daily budget of £26 and a total ban on smartphones, internet access, and bank cards, forcing contestants to rely on paper maps and local assistance.

The celebrity lineup includes musicians Ella Eyre and Sam Ryder, sports broadcaster Jeff Stelling with his son Matt, and Princess and Junior Andre.
