Overview

• The BBC says the new celebrity series will air this autumn on BBC One and iPlayer, with a specific premiere date still to be announced.
• The four teams are Anita Rani with her father Bal, Dylan Llewellyn with his mother Jackie, Roman Kemp with his sister Harleymoon, and engaged couple Molly Rainford with Tyler West.
• This edition begins on Isla Mujeres off Mexico and ends at Colombia’s Península de La Guajira, a journey of roughly 5,900km along the Caribbean and Pacific coasts of Central America.
• Contestants travel without smartphones, bank cards or flights and must stretch a limited budget using local transport and the help of strangers.
• The line-up was revealed across BBC shows and social platforms, including announcements by Scott Mills, Woman’s Hour, KISS FM and The One Show, where Roman Kemp called the race the scariest thing he has done.
