Race Across the World stars have revealed some of the secrets from the hit BBC show, including being kept totally isolated from the real world and the weight of their bags
Race Across the World made a welcome return to TV screens earlier this month, with a new set of contestants ready to take on the once-in-a-lifetime challenge. The new seasons saw 10 competitors tasked with navigating their way through East Asia in pairs, with limited resources, no credit cards and no phones.
With the BBC show back on screens, many fans have been wondering about certain details of the race. Luckily, some of the contestants have shared some behind-the-scenes secrets. When asked if racers can contact home or read the news, Alfie said: "Total isolation - I keep telling people we knew nothing about the Gaza attacks or anything. I managed to catch the football scores on billboards but other than that it’s total silence!"
The 20 year old admitted he'd love to take part in the race again, despite hating it at times. Alfie added: "Yes I would, although not as resoundingly as you might think as there were some parts where I genuinely have never hated life more . Would’ve loved to have done S2 route or travel through Western Africa. Tanzania, Madagascar, Mozambique etc."
