Celebrity Race Across the World 2025 line-up rumours so far from Strictly couple to Roman Kemp
Rumours have been swirling about who the four teams taking on the BBC show challenge are. So far the rumoured teams are: Strictly couple Molly Rainford and Tyler West as well as siblings Roman Kemp and his sister Harley, plus Dylan Llewellyn.
It's not yet known who the other two pairings could be. There are always four pairs on the celebrity edition as there is no elimination round.
Last year's competitors included: winners Scott Mills and his husband Sam, Kelly Brook and her husband Jeremy Parisi, Jeff Brazier and his son Freddy as well as Kola Bokinni and his cousin Mary-Ellen.
GMB weatherman Alex Beresford and his dad Noel won the first version of the celebrity show that aired in 2023. They were competing against siblings Billy Monger and his sister Bonny, Mel Blatt and her mum, as well as Harry Judd and his mum.
Derry Girls star Dylan Llewellyn is being tipped for Celebrity Race Across the World, according to The Sun.
The Beyond Paradise star, who plays sweet Kelby on the BBC show, would be swapping acting and learning lines for an adventure. It would take him to different corners of the world.
Although his name has been leaked, it is not known who could be his possible partner for the trip of a lifetime. We can't wait to find out more!
Couple Molly Rainford and Tyler West are believed to be starring in the Celebrity Race Across the World 2025 line-up.
They first fell in love when they first set eyes on each other on the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom. They were competing celebrities on the 2022 series.
Their relationship will be tested to the limits on Race Across the World where they will have to budget and plan the best route together. They have already taken their relationship to the next level as they moved in with each other last year.
Last year, Rainford told MailOnline of their relationship: "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."
West added: "Yeah, adult life is real! Molly's turned into a whole interior designer. So I'm just taking a complete back seat. She's just like, "What do you think about this?" You've got Pintrest boards going so it's great."
Roman Kemp and his older sister Harleymoon are also believed to be lined up for Celebrity Race Across the World.
The siblings grew up in the limelight together, with famous parents Spandau Ballet's Martin Kemp and Wham! band member, Shirlie Holliman. As teenagers they would often be on the glamorous red carpets for the stars with their mum and dad.
They both followed their parents footsteps into the spotlight. Harleymoon became a singer releasing her first song Space in 2020 while Kemp made waves on the radio.
Despite appearances, Kemp detailed his struggles of feeling like he didn't fit in with his family. "I really upset my mum recently, because I said that sometimes I feel like I don't fit in with our family," he told The Guardian in January 2025.
"I go back home and my dad will be on the piano, my sister will be singing, my mum's taking videos and pictures. And I just want to be on my own. I'm not… embarrassed by it, but that form of extroversion is not really me."
In April last year, Kemp quit his Capital breakfast radio show after eight year but he has continued with building his profile in the showbiz world.
Who else could be starring on Celebrity Race Across the World? Only time will tell.

Tommy Fury says Molly-Mae was right to break up with him, 'I would have walked away too'
The boxer fought his hardest to win Hague back, which plays out onscreen in the BBC documentary Tommy: The Good, The Bad, The Fury Tommy Fury has said he would have walked away like fiancée Molly-Mae Hague did at the height of his alcohol addiction, if the shoe was on the other foot. The mother of their daughter ended their relationship as Fury, who injured his hand, was downing 20 beers a day. After the fallout of the highly-publicised break-up, the 26-year-old boxer invited BBC cameras into his life for a documentary series Tommy: The Good, The Bad, The Fury. When Yahoo UK asked Fury how he felt about his dad, John, telling Hague to leave him, he said: "What can I say? I mean, I probably would have walked away from me too. It was at that stage, and it was tough. But like I say, it was a tough moment in my life, and everything happens for a reason." He told Yahoo UK and other press: "I'm not happy that I went through that [the break-up], but I'm grateful for the lessons that I've learned, and I don't think I would have known half of what I know about myself if I never went through that. To go through that on a personal level is one thing, but then to go through that in front of the whole world. "I'm being looked at in a microscope and everyone's looking [at] exactly what you're doing in depth, and I'm doing this in front of the whole world. It adds a new pressure, but I've definitely learned things about myself that I would have never found out, so I'm grateful for the life lessons that I've learned." With Hague and their two-year-old daughter Bambi gone, Fury only had himself for company in the £5m mansion that was meant to be their new family home; Hague hasn't said if she's living there full-time yet. "When you're in a big house all by yourself, you think about a lot of things and you wish you could never go down that road," he said. "But it's happened, and then it's not about dwelling on a problem or looking at a problem, it's like OK, it's happened. Let's get back on it." Fighting untrue stories Fighter Fury weathered a media storm and trial by social media when he was forced to publicly deny that he had cheated on the love of his life. When Yahoo UK asked how he proved his innocence when stories were untrue, he said: "I don't have to [prove my innocence]. I don't have to go around shouting from the rooftops because it's all b********. That's why I never spoke out about anything like that because it's all b*******. "And to be quite honest with you, I don't get involved in anything like that. I live my life for me, let all the b******** carry on, as long as my family and myself and Jesus know who I am, I don't care about it." One of the worst untrue stories that emerged from TikTok accused Fury of getting another woman pregnant. Winning Molly-Mae Hague back Determined not to be defeated, the boxer fought his hardest to win Hague back, which plays out onscreen in the documentary. "Tune in on 19 August and you'll see all that," he said. Cameras have been following their romance since they were 20 years old and fell for each other in the Mallorcan villa on Love Island in 2019. Their break-up was headline news everywhere last August after five years together. After reconciling, Fury said the former Love Island couple are in the "happiest place possible". This time, however, they want to do things differently. "At the end of the day, like I said in multiple other interviews, mine and Molly's life now is private," he said. Fury praised Hague for being the best mother in the world. He said, "I couldn't have picked a better mother for Bambi than Molly. She's absolutely fantastic. She's the best mum in the world. She juggles an awful lot, and she's always there, and she's the best mother that I could have picked." Their two-year-old daughter, Bambi, stars alongside her famous parents in both BBC's Tommy: The Good, The Bad and The Fury as well as Prime Video's Molly-Mae: Behind It All. Fatherhood as a Fury In one sweet moment in the documentary, Fury and Bambi play hide and seek, capturing their close bond. "I didn't know how I was gonna take fatherhood," he said. "I'm a young kid at 23 when she's born, and there's a lot going on. But as soon as she was born and I held her in my hands, nothing else mattered." Fury's only goal for the future is to be a good dad, and he would "love" to have more children. "That's my only dream now [to succeed as a father]," he said. "And I think that that overshadows the rest of it by a mile. If I can succeed at being a father, and my kids can grow up saying, 'Do you know what, my dad was there for me, I'm proud of my dad, and I love the man he is.' "That'll make me happier than any money or any accolades, that's the only accolade I want now. I've achieved everything else that I wanted to. Just being a good father." While fatherhood is very much his focus, Fury admitted he won't quit boxing because he's got to keep up with paying Bambi's ballet lessons. "All the money I'm getting for fights and deals, that's not spent on me, that's spent on providing and giving my daughter and future kids the best life I can give them," he said. Advice to his younger self Fury was only young when he was propelled into the bright lights of fame on Love Island, having had one of the most successful relationships in the show's history. At 20 years old, the boxer's decision to star on the show changed his life forever. If he could give his younger self advice, he said, "I would say be ready for everything that's thrown at you." He added, "Because I come from a completely normal family. People might not know that, obviously, for looking at Tyson [Fury], they might think things are different and all that sort of stuff, but it really wasn't for me. "I grew up so normal, like every other kid, and I've really had to adjust to all this on the road. I've had to learn as I go. I've had no pre-rituals, people telling me instructions and this, I've had none of that. I think I've gone about things and I've dealt with it as a man, good or bad, I've dealt with it and I've got past it. "And that's it. I would just say be ready for anything, because things are gonna come at you in life that you would never expect, and I would have never expected that year from the year prior. I have everything in life that I've ever dreamed of being that 10-year-old kid, and I'm so thankful to the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ every single day because he's giving me everything."

Roman army descends on village for festival
A recreated Roman army has marched on a quiet Cotswolds village - as part of a new festival celebrating the history of the area. Sunday morning saw the first ever Birdlip Roman Festival transform the village, with historical costumes and displays put on show by enthusiasts. Gloucestershire's Roman heritage was also on display, with archaeological activities put on by a number of organisations including the Museum of Gloucester and Coronium Museum. Festivalgoer Martin Smith told the BBC he was "super excited" about the event, adding: "I like [learning about] their day-to-day life and learning how they would have lived in this landscape during the period." Fellow attendee Kate Peake, who visited with her daughter and her mother Angela - who made her costume - said it was "brilliant" to have a Roman festival in the area. "We live just down the road, we love history and we thought we'd dress up to come and visit today," she added. Re-enactment group the Ermine Street Guard took a starring role in Sunday's festival, marching through the village in authentically recreated military wear. The area boasts a rich Roman history, with the ancient civilisation making Gloucester a key site for its empire, and many important archaeological finds have been uncovered throughout the years. Hundreds of people attended the festival, with a number of stalls selling local products, antiques and food also forming part of the event. As well as local museums putting on displays, Cotswold Archaeology and Chedworth Roman Villa were also on site with family-friendly activities.

Police investigating Strictly 'drug use' claims
The Metropolitan Police has said it is investigating allegations of drug use on Strictly Come Dancing. In a statement, the Met said it had "received an allegation about drug related offences". "Police are assessing the information and further enquiries are taking place to establish whether there is evidence of a criminal offence being committed," it said. The BBC said it had "clear protocols and policies in place" for dealing with any serious complaints raised with it. The Met's involvement comes after the the BBC launched an investigation earlier this month into alleged drug use by two stars of the show, who have not been named. It followed a report in the Sun on Sunday, which said the alleged drug use by the stars was widely talked about on the show. BBC News understands the corporation has hired a law firm to help it carry out the probe. On Sunday, the Sun reported that the BBC had referred the matter to police. A Met spokesperson later confirmed that the force had "received an allegation about drug related offences" on Tuesday 12 August. The BBC said it would not comment on any police investigation. But it highlighted a previous statement which read: "We have clear protocols and policies in place for dealing with any serious complaint raised with us. "We would always encourage people to speak to us if they have concerns. It would not be appropriate for us to comment further." Strictly, which has been airing since 2004, has faced multiple controversies over the past few years relating to the behaviour of some of its professionals and celebrity guests. It is believed, however, that this is the first time the BBC has been in contact with the police over allegations linked to the show.
