A new installment of the travel game show Celebrity Race Across the World is here, and we are looking forward to streaming it online without spending any money. For the uninitiated, the premise of the show is this: Four famous people and 24 countries. No special treatment, no phones, and no planes. They have to travel across the world (and survive) using whatever they can.

In season two, we will see four celebrities and four family members leave their affluent lifestyles behind and embark on the journey of a lifetime across the globe, from one end of South America to the other. Their expedition begins in Belém, Northern Brazil, which is the entrance to the Amazon. They will journey through five checkpoints across South America to reach the finish line in Frutillar, located in the Andes of Southern Chile. It is a 12,500 km race.

Participants need to use their skills, cleverness, creativity, and hard work to succeed, with just the amount of money needed to travel by air to their final destination. Along the way, they will have to make extra money and depend on the generosity of strangers.

This article will tell you everything you need to know about how to watch Celebrity Race Across the World season 2 online. You'll find out where and when to watch it, get an episode guide, learn about the cast, watch the official trailer, and more. We also talk about the benefits of using a VPN.

Pro Tip

Since Celebrity Race Across the World is only available for free streaming in the UK, fans in other countries will be unable to watch it due to broadcasting agreements and licensing laws.

You only need to pick a UK server when you activate the VPN, and you'll be all set.

Jeff said, "I wanted to take part because firstly, the travel element is an absolute privilege, the last celeb lot went through 24 countries apparently, what's not to love about that experience? But also to share it with my son and to be able to make those memories. He’s not a child anymore, he’s a young adult - I feel like at some point he's going to move out and I’ll lose him. So, I guess I'm just trying to squeeze every last bit out of him that I can."

Ted Lasso star Kola said, "It’s not so many times that you get to do something like this. Obviously, I've travelled with my job but I've always had to play other characters. But to do something and it's me, and with my family and I’ll get to see what we're all about, and test our mustards a little bit. So, that's the reason why I wanted to do it, to just experience a different side of life and the world."

Kelly said, "I think Jeremy and I were looking for a new adventure to go on together and we love to travel. And this just seemed like the dream to get to the airport and not know where you're going. That is like a dream, to go to the airport, be given a plane ticket and just go."

Scott said, "Before we get married, everyone says the holiday test is you know you could be with somebody if you go on holiday with them. This is like that times a thousand. Not that I have any doubts that Sam is the one for me, but there will be times in this, I imagine, when it will get stressful. And I think I'm expecting it, I don't know, but I'm expecting it to be big highs and probably big lows. So, if we can get through this, we can get through anything basically. I have no doubt that we will but that's part of the reason why I wanted to do it. I also really just want to throw my phone away for a bit. I wouldn’t be able to get to do this again."
