What the expert says...
Show was postponed for a week due to earthquake in Morocco
Celebrity Race Across The World was pencilled in to start this past Wednesday 13th September on BBC One but was postponed due to the tragic events in Morocco.
The BBC said in a statement earlier this week, "In light of the earthquake in Morocco, we have taken the decision to postpone the first episode of Celebrity Race Across the World, which was filmed in Marrakesh."
The Race Across The World kicks off in Marrakech.
McFly star Harry Judd is another one of the four contenders set to race
Harry Judd is arguably the biggest name in the series with the McFly drummer easily having the most Instagram followers if that's how we judge popularity on these days!
Judd though is third favourite out of the four contenders with former All Saints singer Melanie Blatt the final of the four that wrap up the betting market for the series.
McFly star Judd has been on entertainment shows in the past and is a former winner of Strictly Come Dancing all the way back in 2011.
The new series of Strictly Come Dancing starts this week and you can see all the latest betting odds for the show below.
