It came to an end on Wednesday with a nail-biting race on foot to the finish line after travelling 15,000km in 50 days.
But fans of Race Across The World likely won’t have to wait long for another installment as the BBC has teased its upcoming celebrity series.
As the final episode drew to a close, viewers were treated to a sneak peek of the next race – this time featuring pairs of celebrities.
In the clip, the next group of racers could be seen taking on mountainous terrain – with fans convinced they have worked out one of the stars.
‘OMG was that @scott_mills’s voice I just heard in the Trailer for Celebrity Race Across The World?’ someone said on X, formerly Twitter. ‘Love him on Radio 2 and he was great on Radio 1.’

The current series saw a nail-biting ending to the 15,000km race across Eastern Asia as two pairs approached the finish line neck and neck.
After arriving at the second last checkpoint in Jakarta within just 12 minutes of each other, both Alfie and Owen and Isabel and Eugenie were eager to get out in front for the final leg.

Both pairs met each other multiple times on their journey from Jakarta to Lombok, before needing to travel by boat to a tiny Island off the coast at the exact same time.
After finding speedboat rides, the pairs darted off across the sea before getting ready to run the rest of the way on foot.
The race ended with a dramatic sprint along the beach as best friends Alfie and Owen reached the check-in book in first place, claiming the £20,000 prize.
Closely behind the school friends were mother and daughter duo Eugenie and Isabel, who finished just eight minutes later.
In third place were beloved brother and sister Betty and James – who arrived a day later after overcoming a dwindling budget and mishaps.
Married couple Stephen and Viv finished in fourth, with a whopping £180 left of their budget.
The dramatic final scenes saw Alfie and Owen dart along the beach in Indonesia surrounded by gleaming tropical waters before arriving at the book to find they had won the race.

‘We’ve done it,’ they screamed, before hugging each other.
Owen said proudly: ‘We came, and we saw, and we succeeded.’
‘Best moment of our lives,’ Alfie added. ‘Undeniably. Can’t believe it.’
Eugenie and Isabel opened the book to find they had been beaten by the boy by minutes.
Eugenie said: ‘We did it. We’ve come in a good second. If we were to lose to anybody, we always said that we would want to lose to Alfie and Owen.’
The next day, 24 hours and 34 minutes later, Betty and James arrived at the finish line, before Stephen and Viv made it six hours later.
