Celebrity Race Across the World fans go wild over 2024 line-up clues

Celebrity Race Across the World bosses have shared clues to the line-up ahead of the 2024 series.

Excitement has been building for the new series and fans went wild when they got their first hints at who was going to be in the line-up. In the spirit of the race, TV bosses created four pictures that appeared like packing for the big adventure.

The post on the BBC One Facebook page read: "Bags are packed! Can you guess which celebs are ready to #RaceAcrossTheWorld?" The star-studded line-up and route has yet to be officially confirmed.

Last year, Good Morning Britain weatherman Alex Beresford and his dad Noel won Celebrity Race Across the World.

Now everyone can't wait for the 2024 series. Leading the comments beneath the post, one person wrote: "Can’t wait to start watching."

Others wrote: "Can’t wait absolutely love race across the world both versions."

"My daughter told me to watch this and now I am totally hooked lol... bring on the next adventure."

While the BBC are yet to confirm the names of the celebrities taking part, fans thought they had sussed out who each of the packing belonged to. We take a look at all the clues and how they fit together. Did you guess it right?

Jeff Brazier

Fans were convinced that Jeff Brazier fit the packing for the first collection of items. He is rumoured to be taking part with his youngest son Freddie.

Among the collection of items, there was a single ice skate. Any fans of reality TV will remember that Brazier narrowly missed out on the semi-final in Dancing on Ice in 2011. Alongside his partner Isabelle Gauthier, he managed to get through two skate offs before finally being voted out.

Plus there was a Masterchef apron with 2020 printed on it and this was the year that Brazier undertook the challenge himself. If that's not enough to convince you, there was a Father's Day card which was signed "love B+F" - which could easily fit with the names of his sons Bobby and Freddie.

These clues weren't lost on the fans in the comments, with one person theorising: "Jeff Brazier deffo doing this."

Scott Mills

For the second celebrity taking part, there was a photograph with a heart around it. The photograph appeared to be Scott Mills' husband Sam Vaughan. This would fit with the rumours that they were taking part together. There was also two wedding bands laid out among the clothes and shoes in another big clue that fits. Of course, Mills and Vaughan were married in June earlier this year set against the gorgeous backdrop of sun-dripped Barcelona.

In among the packing, there was a lanyard with a BBC Eurovision card attached to it. Alongside Rylan, Mills has been a UK commentator for the semi-finals of the Eurovision Song Contest. As well as Eurovision, there was a microphone with BBC Radio 2 on it. Mills has been a part of BBC Radio 2 since 2022 and before that he was on BBC Radio 1 from 2004.

Kelly Brook

A photograph of Kelly Brook's husband Jeremy Parisi is put in a heart frame. The couple have been rumoured for the show and this is a perfect fit for the star. Brook was the star of horror comedy movie Piranha 3D. This is alluded to with the picture of the piranha and the set of 3D glasses next to it.

There is a receipt with the phrase Big Breakfast on it, another hint to Brook's appearance on The Big Breakfast in 1999. Brook started out as a model so it's no surprise that among the papers is a "modelling contract". There is a nod to her radio work too with the radio.

Right at the heart of the picture is a keyring of the Strictly Come Dancing Glitter Ball with the year 2007 written on it. Brook was partnered with then-Strictly pro Brendan Cole, however, she withdrew from the competition shortly after her dad died of cancer. Although she initially planned to continue, it became "too difficult" for the star.

Fans were quick to guess the clues, writing: "Kelly Brook presents on heart, has had modelling contracts and was on Strictly 2007."

Another added: "Kelly brook. Big breakfast clue there too."

Some people did theorise it could be Alesha Dixon or Amanda Holden. One fan wrote: "Alisha Dixon was on strictly 2007 and may have Heart Radio connection."

Someone else said: "Amanda Holden was away for weeks."

Ted Lasso's Kola Bokinni

Kola Bokinni is the last celebrity rumoured to be taking on the big trek. Perhaps the biggest clue is the BELIEVE sign is instantly recognisable from Ted Lasso. The yellow BELIEVE sign symbolises Ted's approach to life and his coaching philosophy. Actor Bokinni is best known for his role in Ted Lasso as Isaac McAdoo.

The captain's armband appeared to be a clue to his character in Ted Lasso who is the captain of AFC Richmond. But the Ireland flag badges seemed to be a more personal clue and perhaps a nod to Bokinni's mother's Irish heritage.

People shared their theories on Facebook, with one writing: "Deffo Isaac from ted lasso. Nigerian flag. Captains armband. Richmond strip. Yay!"

Someone else posted: "Omg Ted Lasso and Race across the world my two fav programmes coming together."

Celebrity Race Across The World 2024 is coming soon to BBC One and iPlayer.
