Spoiler warning: This article reveals the winners of Celebrity Race Across the World.

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

They reached the final checkpoint ahead of the three other pairs of contestants after a 33-day, 5,900km (3,600 mile) quest through Central America.

The pair reached the finish line two minutes before EastEnders actress Molly Rainford and her fiancé, TV and radio host Tyler West, with broadcaster Anita Rani and her dad Bal finishing six hours later.

Derry Girls actor Dylan Llewellyn and his mum Jackie came fourth – having decided to leave the race earlier in the episode because of limited funds.

Wednesday’s final episode covered the last stage, a 1,000km route from Medellín to the Guajira Peninsula in Colombia.

In previous stages, the teams had to make their ways through countries including Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica and Panama.

They did so without using phones or air travel, and with a budget of £950 per person – the equivalent cost of flying the route.

This was the BBC’s third celebrity series of Race Across the World and has been attracting about six million viewers.

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

The final journey saw them take a 4×4, boat ride and race by foot up a cliffside, with Ronan describing it as “the most adrenaline, most emotion that I’ve had ever”.

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