Swapping ballrooms for backpacks, fans will see the pair dash across continents without flights or mobile phones.
A TV insider told The Sun: 'Molly and Tyler are a huge coup for the show.
"They're popular with millions of viewers from their stints on Strictly, and Molly will bring in loads of EastEnders fans too.
"They are a very adventurous pair and have brilliant chemistry, so bosses are confident they will become huge fan favourites.'
The last series of Celebrity Race Across the World aired last August and saw famous faces including Kelly Brook, Scott Mills, Jeff Brazier and Kola Bokinni race across South America.
A rep for the show has been contacted for comment.
EastEnders star Molly rose to fame for her performance on Britain's Got Talent when she was just 11 years old.
Tyler began his presenting career on CBBC before being snapped up by Kiss FM for his very own show.
The couple fell head over heels for each other when they both took to the Strictly dance floor in 2022.
Last year, they spoke about their plans to take their relationship to the next step and move in together.

Tyler told the Mail: "We are good and going strong and are actually moving in together - we're just going through, you know dining tables and sofas and all that kind of stuff, it's exciting.
"Molly's turned into a whole interior designer so I'm just taking a complete back seat!"
Sharing cute videos of them kissing in their empty living room they said: "Well guys, it was only right that we let you into our little home, the next part of our journey starts now."
There were rumours an engagement ring was on the cards for the couple after they went on a romantic trip to Paris.
Molly previously addressed the engagement clamour in an interview with The Sun.
She told us at the tail end of 2023: "Not just yet. I think we will get Christmas out of the way and then go from there."

EastEnders' Lorraine Stanley looks slimmer than ever as she shows off five-stone weight loss and reveals huge milestone
FORMER EastEnders star Lorraine Stanley looked slimmer than ever on her social media. The actress took to her Instagram as she showed off her impressive five-stone weight loss. 6 6 Lorraine Stanley, 48, is best known for her role as Karen Taylor in the hit BBC One soap. She made her EastEnders debut in 2017 before departing the long-running serial drama in 2024. Since then, the actress has undergone a huge transformation as she now looks almost unrecognisable from her alter-ego. The star took to her social media page as she flaunted her slim physique. She sported a slimming flower print crop top and trousers combo as she partied the night away at a special bingo event. Underneath the tied top, she sported a skin-tight white vest which only emphasised her tiny waist. For shoes, Lorraine opted for complimentary open-toe leather platform strapped heels for the occasion. Alongside flaunting her slim physique, the star also opened up on a huge new milestone in her life. She captioned the snap: "5 months sober & still had a good night dancing! #Sobriety." Lorraine added: "@Bingobangouk @thegaietysouthsea thanks for having us." EastEnders legend reveals secret to five stone weight loss The actress was written out of Eastenders in 2023 after seven years on the show in a huge shock to fans. Her character's axing was as part of a shock cast shake-up and her final scenes were aired in December of that year. She went onto reprise her fan-favourite role a number of times in 2024 before her last episode hit BBC screens in June. Since her exit, she has faced speculation over her dramatic weight loss transformation. EastEnders stars who QUIT MICHELLE Collins has seen her second EastEnders stint boost her bank balance. Yet what stars have quit this year? The Sun exclusively reported how Michelle, 62, was down to £20,000 in her company accounts when she agreed to a shock back-from-the-dead return to Albert Square last year. Her character, Cindy Beale, was presumed dead off-camera in 1998. Yet what about the 2024 exits? Earlier this summer, loyal soap fans appeared to note how Stevie Mitchell had "quit" the long-running series. It came after Alan Ford enjoyed just six-months on-screen. Bobby Beale actor Clay Milner Russell also left this year after five years in Walford. Fans also feared Martin Fowler actor James Bye would "quit out of boredom" over recent storylines. Additionally, a host of stars have quit the BBC soap for Hollywood fame. One of the most successful stars to come from the BBC One soap is Rob Kazinsky. He played Stacey Slater's brother Sean Slater from 2006 to 2009, he has starred in Hollywood blockbusters Pacific Rim and Captain Marvel. Ben Hardy, who quit EastEnders as Bobby Beale almost a decade ago, went on to break Hollywood the following year, when he starred as Archangel in X-Men: Apocalypse. Since then, he has played Roger Taylor in Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, and he starred in Michael Bay 's Netflix movie 6 Underground. Michelle Ryan played Zoe Slater until 2005. She starred as the lead in short-lived American series Bionic Woman from 2007 to 2008. However, Lorraine admitted it was not down to popular jabs like Ozempic or Mounjaro. Instead, Lorraine opted for the more traditional gastric sleeve operation. 6 6 6 6

Sally is on the warpath in Coronation Street after Tim hides a secret from her
Coronation Street couple Sally and Tim Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor and Joe Duttine) are at loggerheads in upcoming episodes when Sally discovers Tim has been making some potentially life-changing decisions without consulting her first. Recently, Tim proposed the idea that he and Sally could become foster parents. This idea initially came out of a tragedy. At the beginning of this year the couple were devastated when Mason Radcliffe (Luca Toolan), a troubled boy they'd been allowing to stay in their home, was brutally killed by his own brother. Tim had found Mason sleeping in their shed, and when he initially started to help him it was on the condition that Sally shouldn't find out. However, when she did find out about it she eventually came round to Tim's view that all Mason needed was a bit of help and someone on his side. Sadly the couple were ultimately unable to save Mason. More recently Tim's parental, caring side surfaced again when he looked after Lou Michaelis (Farrel Hegarty)'s daughters Shanice and Joanie, after Lou was attacked by her husband Mick (Joe Layton). Tim had gone to pick Lou and the girls up in his cab, but on seeing that Lou was wounded he insisted on taking her to A&E. When Lou did a runner from the hospital, Tim was left with the girls. He took them home and looked after them and also offered Lou a place to stay for the night after she reappeared. In upcoming episodes, with Shanice and Joanie having gone back home, Sally tells Tim it's nice to have the house to themselves again. Sally has done her child-rearing years with her own daughters, Rosie (Helen Flanagan) and Sophie (Brooke Vincent), and she's ready for a peaceful life in a nice tidy house complete with conservatory. Tim, however, feels strongly that he could make a difference to children in need by being a foster parent, so he secretly sets up a meeting to push the plan forward. More Trending Unluckily for him, Sally pops back home just before his meeting is due, and finds him in his best shirt. Even more suspiciously, he's tidied the house up and it's looking immaculate.

Even though Tim's evasive about what's going on, only moments later the doorbell rings and Sally finds a social worker on the doorstep. Sally is livid that Tim has taken this enormous step without her knowledge. He tries to make things right with her, but she's too angry and refuses to listen.
