Celebrity Race Across the World fans have been treated to a glimpse of the 2026 series, with the BBC releasing a batch of first-look pictures.
The four celebrity teams have been pictured preparing to tackle their epic 7,500km adventure, which promises to test their stamina and change their lives.
This time, the contestants and their travel companions must make their way from Borneo to Melbourne, travelling across three countries and two continents along the way.

Among those taking on the challenge are Princess Andre and her brother Junior, who will be joined on the starting line by singer Sam Ryder and his best friend and tour manager Kaz.
Singer-songwriter Ella Eyre is racing with her childhood friend Nana, while veteran sports broadcaster Jeff Stelling will compete alongside his son Matt.

The BBC’s newly released snaps show Eurovision star Sam and Kaz picking up their map and satellite phone as they prepare to begin the adventure. The pair look a little apprehensive as they discover their destination for the first time.
Maps and phones have been set out on a table at the 2026 starting line in Borneo, ready for the teams to get moving.
Elsewhere, Princess and Junior are pictured setting off with their enormous backpacks. Peter Andre and Katie Price’s children face the challenge of working out which way to go first.
Jeff, best known for Soccer Saturday, is seen studying the map with his son Matt as they plan their opening leg. The teams must stick to a budget of just £26 a day and travel without internet access, so making the money last will be crucial.
Ella and Nana, meanwhile, have already got stuck into their first job. Contestants can earn extra cash by taking on temporary work during the race.
