Princess and Junior Andre Embark on Grueling 'Wildest Race Yet' in Celebrity Race Across The World
The sibling duo faces a 7,500km journey from Borneo to Australia, relying on resourcefulness and limited funds.
Princess and Junior Andre are set to navigate a challenging 7,500km (4,660 miles) journey from Kuching, Malaysia, to Melbourne, Australia, in the upcoming season of Celebrity Race Across The World. The new series, branded 'the wildest race yet,' premieres on October 28.
The brother-sister pair, children of Peter Andre and Katie Price, will compete against other celebrity teams, including singer-songwriter Ella Eyre and her friend Nana, veteran broadcaster Jeff Stelling and his son Matt, and musician Sam Ryder with his tour manager Kaz.
In first-look images, Princess, 19, and Junior, 21, appear stressed as they pore over a map and compass, indicating the demanding nature of the competition. The celebrities will be stripped of their phones, credit cards, and home comforts, equipped only with a map and a daily budget of £26 per person.
Their route will take them through Borneo's jungles and across continents, requiring them to rely on local transportation and the kindness of strangers to reach five checkpoints. The journey culminates at the southern tip of Australia.
Princess and Junior were reportedly signed by show bosses following the success of their ITV2 reality show, 'The Princess Diaries.' The series aims to test their resourcefulness and ability to adapt to unfamiliar environments.
The new season of Celebrity Race Across The World is scheduled to air from Wednesday, October 28. The broader show, Race Across The World, will return to BBC One and iPlayer next spring.
