The series reached its thrilling conclusion in a nail-biting final
BBC One’s Celebrity Race Across the World reached its thrilling conclusion tonight with Radio 2 host Scott Mills and his husband Sam, becoming the first to reach the final checkpoint and be crowned the winning team.
Scott added: “I can confirm it’s the best feeling ever.” Still marvelling at their win, Sam continues: “we actually won” whilst Scott wipes away tears that he blames on the ‘cold air’. Finishing in fourth place, Kelly and Jeremy are happy to have finished with Kelly saying: “it means everything to finish. Jeremy wanted to win, I just wanted to finish. To be honest we came last so I feel like we should have had a jolly from day one, it wouldn’t have made any difference!”
During a ride in a cable car up San Cristóbal Hill, Scott reflected to Sam on his experience during the race, saying: “at the start of this I think I was quite caught up with work, and I think I’ve learnt to spend more time for just you and me. I don’t want it to be over now.” In the most epic race to the finish line in Race Across the World history, Scott and Sam and Kola and Mary Ellen’s GPS tracker directed them to the Teatro del Lago where they were instructed to take a boat or any vehicle 25 miles to Ensenada.
They have successfully reached the finish line without the use of air travel or any trappings of modern-day life. Stripped of all mod-cons and all luxuries they have had to rely on their skills, cunning, ingenuity, and hard work in order to succeed. Without the use of bank cards, smartphones and a limited budget, extra money had to be earned along the way as well as calling upon the kindness of strangers to help them progress.
Scott: I thought I knew a lot about the world, but I didn’t know as much as I thought I did. It was exhilarating, inspiring and exhausting.
