Now, the first picture of the famous four and their family members has been revealed.

Harry, 37, is also travelling with his mum, Emma, while Billy, 24, is competing with his sister, Bonny.
Starting in Marrakech, Morocco, the most north-western country in Africa, and ending in Tromsø, Norway, known as the Arctic capital, the epic journey will span 24 countries and over 10,000 km.
The route will see the pairs race through every landscape and culture that this part of the world has to offer: from the great North African city of Marrakech, through the seaside ports and beaches of the Mediterranean, to unrivalled historic and cosmopolitan cities, the mighty Alps, unexplored Central Europe, the fairy-tale Baltic States, and snowy Scandinavia.
In this six-part celebrity version of the much-loved series, the four celebrities and their racing partners will race to a finish line that’s thousands of miles away – without the use of air travel or any trappings of modern-day life.

This incredible journey will give a unique insight into the celebrities and their relationships with their travelling companions.
The series will be launching on BBC One and BBC iPlayer this autumn with further information to be announced in due course.
