Race Across The World star breaks down in tears over 'bizarre' situation with ex in heart-wrenching reunion episode
Race Across The World star Yin broke down in tears as she broke down in tears over the 'bizarre' situation with her ex in Wednesday's heart-wrenching reunion episode.
The fifth series of the BBC series wrapped up last week (11 June 2025) and fans were over the moon to see the cast back on their screens for a big old catch up.
The instalment got very emotional, especially when exes Yin and Gaz - who were the first out of the show - opened up about their time on the programme.
The former couple were married for more than 30 years but split three years ago.
Speaking about how it works between the two, Gaz said: 'It probably has brought us more together. What we want in life for the pair of us is to just be happy.'
He added: 'Whether I or Yin find love again, we will always be in each others' lives because we are just great friends.
'It probably looks bizarre to the outside world, but to us it's normal.'
Yin looked touched as Gaz said: 'All I've ever wanted was the best for Yin and I'm just very proud of how Yin has become.'
Yin also opened up about just how much being part of the much-loved series has changed her as a person.
Talking to the camera, Yin said: 'Since leaving Race, I recognised that I was struggling already with what China means to me personally.
'My heritage is Chinese and I do identify as a Chinese person.
'Where I struggle is, with my upbringing, it was in a very traditional household.
'I didn't leave home on good terms with my parents.'
Clearly getting very emotional at the dining table with the rest of her co-stars, she continued: 'Some of the struggles I went through are probably quite unique in the sense of because I look Chinese, I don't speak mandarin.
'I've struggled with my Chinese heritage.'
She then explained that the death of her partner is what really encouraged her to take part.
Yin continued: 'When I came back from Race I reconnected with my siblings and recognised that has to be addressed.
'The real gift that Race gave me was to address that then move forward with my life...
'My partner, who I had been with for three years, had passed away very suddenly in September 2023.
'One of the reasons to come on Race was to give me energy to see what is out there.
'The relief and lightness I now feel, I do feel like one of the biggest things that I've probably hanged about my self, life is there to live.
'It was the catalyst to enable me to move forward.'
This year's series of Race Across the World hit our screens on 23 April.
After nine episodes, the show finished last week.
And it was mother-son duo Caroline and Tom who were crowned winners.
It comes after Gaz left his ex-wife Yin emotional with a heart-wrenching confession live on Lorraine.
Ranvir Singh stepped in for Lorraine and hosted the ITV morning show on Tuesday.
The pair have been separated for three years and at one point during the interview, discussed their marriage breakdown on Lorraine.
Gaz reflected: 'Like all break ups it was hard, I'm of that generation where what do you do? You try and blank it out, have a few beers and sort of forget about it.'
He admitted that Yin 'helped' him and explained: 'She's an amazing person and I don't think I would be here if it wasn't for Yin.
'It wasn't that bad but it got to the point where I didn't like myself, I didn't like what I was doing, I just didn't want to be around anybody, very insular.
'Yin was the one that kept pushing me.'
Yin appeared to be emotional as she interjected with praise for her former husband and said: 'He put in so much hard work and I'm just so proud of him.'

Award-winning comedy becomes latest hit show to be slapped with woke trigger warnings in crackdown by the BBC
Fans also slammed Channel 4 for a similar warning on a beloved sitcom WOKE JOKE Award-winning comedy becomes latest hit show to be slapped with woke trigger warnings in crackdown by the BBC Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HIT mockumentary sitcom The Office has been slapped with 'discriminatory language' trigger warnings by BBC bosses. Five episodes of Ricky Gervais's award-winning show on iPlayer have been flagged. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 1 The Office has been slapped with 'discriminatory language' trigger warnings by BBC bosses Credit: Handout All 14 episodes are available on the streaming service. Its two series, with Gervais as paper company branch boss David Brent, carry a 'G' rating to indicate adult humour. But some episodes also carry the additional warning. In the first series, debut episode Downsize — first aired in July 2001 — and the sixth episode Judgement are hit with the alert. And from series two, the first, third and fifth — Merger, Party and Charity — also carry the warnings. The Office won a clutch of awards in its time — most notably scooping a Golden Globe in 2004 for Best Television Series, the first British comedy to win. It was co-written and co-created by Gervais and Stephen Merchant, and went on to spawn a successful US version starring Steve Carell. The Office's alerts come after the BBC also put disclaimers about offensive or outdated language on episodes of Only Fools and Horses from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. In February, Channel 4 was branded 'humourless' for flagging a series of Father Ted on its catch-up. Broadcasters also hit Bafta-winning C4 sitcom The IT Crowd with advisories, with one warning: 'This episode was made in 2006 and contains strong, strong/offensive derogatory language and adult humour.' Terry and June to get woke warning - 80s comedy show ITV slapped 1970s comedy George and Mildred with a similar caution.

Shock exit for ANOTHER EastEnders character as he risks marriage to flee abroad
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EASTENDERS has waved goodbye to another character in a shock exit in today's episode. The BBC soap has only just seen returnee Zoe Slater leave three days after her comeback - and now another member of the family is off to find her. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 2 Alfie is off to track Zoe down without Kat knowing Credit: BBC 2 Kat is trusting Alfie to go to Australia - and she has no idea he's lying to her Credit: BBC With Stacey telling Alfie that Zoe has done a moonlight flit to Barcelona on her credit cards, he came up with a plan. Telling her not to cancel them, he said they could track where she was with it and find her to bring her home for a reunion with her mum Kat. But with Alfie unable to tell Kat where he was really going, instead he lied and claimed he was going to Australia to see his brother Spencer who was struggling. And it's EastEnders, it's likely that Kat will discover his lies and jump to the wrong conclusion, putting their marriage at risk. It comes just a day after Zoe fled to Barcelona, after her brief return scenes. The BBC soap has confirmed that Michelle will return later this summer for a permanent comeback. EastEnders new boss, Executive Producer Ben Wadey added: 'Before I even stepped into the role, Zoe Slater was on my wish-list of returnees as, although we haven't seen her on screen for twenty years, her character has transcended time due to her popular storylines.' Speaking on her return to the BBC soap, Michelle said: 'It feels like coming home. 'After doing my first few scenes, it was like I'd never been away. 'It all happened at the right time. EastEnders drops huge clue that Zoe Slater has a secret child before shock exit 'I'd already been thinking about a return because I'd met up with Kacey Ainsworth (Little Mo) and Kim Medcalf (Sam Mitchell) and we were reminiscing our fond memories of the show, and I'd also joined social media and saw that there was still a lot of love for the character. 'It just so happened that at the same time, EastEnders had announced a new Exec who was keen to explore the potential of a return as he was such a massive fan of Zoe and the Slaters, so both of our worlds aligned at the right time, and I'm so excited to be back. 'When I was pitched the storylines, and when I read the scripts, I knew it was the right decision.'
