Spoiler alert: This article reveals the winners of the Worldwide Celebrity Race.

Broadcaster Roman Kemp and his sister, singer-songwriter Harleymoon, triumphed in the latest series of BBC’s Race Across the World.

After a 33-day, 5,900 km (3,600 mi) adventure across Central America, they reached the final checkpoint before three other pairs of contestants.

The pair reached the finish line two minutes ahead of EastEnders actress Molly Rainford and her fiancé, TV and radio presenter Tyler West; while publisher Anita Rani and her father Bal finished it six hours later.

Derry Girls actor Dylan Llewellyn and his mother Jackie decided to drop out of the race earlier in the episode due to limited financial resources and finished fourth.

Wednesday’s final episode covered the final stage, covering the 1000km route from Medellín to the Guajira Peninsula in Colombia.

In previous stages, teams had to pass through countries such as Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica and Panama.

They did this without the use of phones or air travel and on a budget of £950 per person (the equivalent cost of flying this route).

This was the third hit series of the BBC’s Race Across the World and attracted nearly six million viewers.

Roman and Harleymoon Kemp are the children of Spandau Ballet’s Martin Kemp and his wife Shirlie.

Roman is known as the co-host of BBC One’s The One Show and the former Capital breakfast show DJ; Harleymoon, on the other hand, is a country singer who has been releasing music for five years.

On the last trip, they took a 4×4 boat tour and raced on foot on the edge of a cliff. Ronan described it as “the most adrenaline rush, the most emotion I’ve ever experienced”.

Harleymoon added: “I’ve never run like this in my life.”
