Celebrity Race Across the World season 2 sees four pairs pulled from their luxury lifestyles, stripped of all mod-cons, handed a map and a destination and sent out on an epic journey from one end of South America to the other. This time round, the race began in Belém, Northern Brazil as the celebrities pass through five checkpoints on their way to the finish line in Andes, Frutillar in Southern Chile. Traveling through cities, countryside and even the Amazon, the teams are having to rely on their wits, charm and the kindness of others to reach each checkpoint. Having a well-known face might come useful, too.
The contestants this time out are Ted Lasso star Kola Bokinni and his cousin, Mary Ellen; noughties pin-up and broadcaster Kelly Brook alongside her husband Jeremy; BBC radio legend Scott Mills and fiancé (now husband) Sam and cheeky chappie broadcaster Jeff Brazier with son Freddie (not too be confused with other son Bobby, who had a phenomenal Strictly run). Along the way, they’re bumbling their way through jobs, sprinting to the finish and debating transport choices, but it’s the quiet moments of reflection that are keeping us gripped.
Season two of the celebrity travel competition is proving to be just as epic and emotional as the first, so keep reading our guide on how to watch Celebrity Race Across the World 2024 online, for free and from anywhere and be sure to check below for our episode recap.

What can we expect from Celebrity Race Across the World season 2?
Tim Harcourt, Chief Creative Officer, Studio Lambert: "After the phenomenally successful run of the first celebrity series, and more recently the fourth series of the regular series - we can’t wait to bring audiences along with us to the huge South American continent and its jaw-dropping scenery, in a race which will push our celebrities and their loved ones to their absolute limits."
Catherine Catton, Head of Commissioning, Factual Entertainment and Events: "We've been delighted by the success of Celebrity Race Across the World, and are now incredibly excited to see some new famous faces and their loved ones take on this difficult yet highly rewarding race of a lifetime."
Why did each celebrity want to take part in Celebrity Race Across the World S2?
Jeff Brazier: "I wanted to take part because firstly, the travel element is an absolute privilege, the last celeb lot went through 24 countries apparently, what's not to love about that experience? But also to share it with my son and to be able to make those memories. He’s not a child anymore, he’s a young adult - I feel like at some point he's going to move out and I’ll lose him. So, I guess I'm just trying to squeeze every last bit out of him that I can."
Kelly Brook: "I think Jeremy and I were looking for a new adventure to go on together and we love to travel. And this just seemed like the dream to get to the airport and not know where you're going. That is like a dream, to go to the airport, be given a plane ticket and just go."
Kola Bokinni: "It’s not so many times that you get to do something like this. Obviously, I've travelled with my job but I've always had to play other characters. But to do something and it's me, and with my family and I’ll get to see what we're all about, and test our mustards a little bit. So, that's the reason why I wanted to do it, to just experience a different side of life and the world."
Scott Mills: "Before we get married, everyone says the holiday test is you know you could be with somebody if you go on holiday with them. This is like that times a thousand. Not that I have any doubts that Sam is the one for me, but there will be times in this, I imagine, when it will get stressful. And I think I'm expecting it, I don't know, but I'm expecting it to be big highs and probably big lows. So, if we can get through this, we can get through anything basically. I have no doubt that we will but that's part of the reason why I wanted to do it. I also really just want to throw my phone away for a bit. I wouldn’t be able to get to do this again."
Who won season 1 of Celebrity Race Across the World?
