Celebrity Race Across the World teases 2026 line-up - can you work out who they are?

Celebrity Race Across The World is returning to the BBC later this year, and ahead of the line-up being officially revealed, fans have been given a handful of teasers to try piecing together. BBC iPlayer's Instagram has shared four images of this year's famous participants — but all have been obscured by various animals.
Luckily, fans in the comments section have been on-hand to do some detective work and take their best guesses at who they might be.
"Junior and Princess will be amazing," wrote one commenter, convinced that Katie Price and Peter Andre's children Junior and Princess Andre will be among those competing.

"SAM RYDER SPOTTED," said someone else, while a third wrote: "Looks like junior andre and princess, Sam Ryder and Lydia West, am I right let me know?"
Other celebrities receiving guesses include Jason Donovan, Ella Eyre and Mel B. But we'll have to wait a little longer before their identities are officially unveiled.
The last series aired in late 2025 and saw Roman Kemp and his sister Harleymoon Kemp crowned the winners after conquering a route that led from Isla Mujeres in Mexico to Península de La Guajira in Colombia.
Before Celebrity Race Across The World returns though, the BBC has another star-studded spin-off to keep viewers enthralled: Celebrity Traitors.

The show is finally back on screens tomorrow (1 October) for its second series, in which Claudia Winkleman will lead a fresh batch of 21 contestants through what is sure to be a twist-heavy few weeks of intense gameplay.
One of those contestants, comedian and host Rob Beckett, has already teased that he could be "the fastest Traitor out in history".
Celebrity Race Across The World returns to BBC One and iPlayer later this year.
