Race Across The World has been one of the series of the year so far.
In May, the BBC programme was the most-watched factual name in 2024, surpassing even iconic TV star Sir David Attenborough Mammals.
In the regular series, the duos literally race around the world, with the purpose of arriving from a checkpoint on a budget and without the use of a mobile phone or traveling by plane.
But who could join in galloping around the world in the upcoming season?
If the BBC needs to make sure the celebrity series of the moment is more than just Dyer, it may be a lot worse than hiring former EastEnders actor Danny Dyer and his Love Island-winning daughter Dani.
The two men tried to make it to television in the Channel 4 story, Danny and Dani Do Italy, but they succeeded without hotels or food with all expenses paid.
The pair seem to offer some comedy when they’re on TV together, as evidenced by former EastEnders star Joe during a pair of appearances on Stacey’s Sort Your Life Out.
Joe has a real TV king from his years in Albert Square, appearing on Dancing on Ice, Celebrity MasterChef, The Jump, and Celebrity Dinner Date, and it wouldn’t be unexpected if he wanted to add Celebrity Race Across the World to his resume. .
Another of the BBC’s emblematic exhibitions of the year, without a doubt, The Traitors. The ultimate game of deception captivated us all in January when, for the first time, a traitor, Harry Clark, won the £95,000 prize.
Throughout the series, he worked alongside fellow traitor Paul Gorton to eliminate some followers, before tricking his friend.
Plus, if Scott Mills and Sam Vaughan, who tied the knot just a few weeks ago, have a laid-back honeymoon, they may make the best cast for the show.
The newlyweds have 2/1 to appear on the show, only the couple Kelly Brook and Jeremy Parisi (6/4), but ahead of the couple Max George and Maisie Smith (3/1).
Max and Maisie are big fans of holidays in the sun, if the former EastEnders actress’ Instagram account is to be believed, and while Celebrity Race Across the World is just as relaxing, there are moments of free time.
Ted Lasso actor Kola Bokinni, who plays AFC Richmond captain Isaac McAdoo in the Apple TV series, is one of the names on the upcoming celebrity show.
She is 9/2 behind her sister DJ Yinka Bokinni, who competed on Celebrity Bake Off this year.
In addition to Danny and Dani, other prominent parent-child combinations who can sign up for the verbal exchange are Jeff and Freddie Brazier, who are 7/2 years old, and Zoe Ball and her son Woody Cook (4/1). You can also participate.
The BBC could only partially compensate for one of the most devastating double deaths of all time.
EastEnders enthusiasts were devastated when manufacturers killed off the characters of Rita Simons and Samantha Womack, Roxy and Ronnie Mitchell, on New Year’s Day 2017, and some never recovered.
Therefore, the BBC could at least reunite the two men for a stint in the Celebrity Race Across the World. They have 10/1 to do it.
