Who’s in the new series of Race Across the World?

At long last, the new series of travel show-slash-competition Race Across the World is back.

The premise is simple: five couples must race each other across a sizeable chunk of the globe, without mobile phones or credit cards, in pursuit of a £20,000 cash prize. Complicating matters, the teams only have a shoestring budget to help them complete the odyssey (equivalent to a one-way flight between the start and end points)

Of course, the real prize is the experiences they’ll have along the way, and this year, their journey will be taking them from in northernmost Japan to the Indonesian island paradise of . Along.
