Princess and Junior Andre look stressed as they team up for Celebrity Race Across The World in first look at new series
THINGS look like they’re about to get tense for Princess and Junior Andre in a first look at their mission on Celebrity Race Across The World.
The offspring of Peter Andre and Katie Price jetted off to take part in the BBC series at the start of the year, and the show will return to screens next week, on October 28.
But in preview images from the show, Princess, 19, and Junior, 21, look to have their work cut out for them.
Geared up in t-shirts and trainers, brandishing massive green backpacks, the pair are seen in the snaps looking stressed out as they face the TV challenge.
Branded “the wildest race yet” by the show’s producers, the siblings are pictured poring over a map and a compass, working out which direction they’ll need to head.
The pair will start their race in Kuching, in the Malaysian state of Sarawak in North West Borneo, and attempt to navigate their way to the final destination of Melbourne, Australia.
Despite their pop star dad Peter hailing from Down Under, the brother and sister team don’t look too sure about making the nearly 3,500 mile voyage.
The siblings will compete against singer-songwriter Ella Eyre and her childhood friend Nana, veteran sports broadcaster Jeff Stelling and his son Matt, and musician Sam Ryder with his best friend and tour manager Kaz.
Bosses rushed to sign up the pair after the success of ITV2’s The Princess Diaries, which featured influencer Princess and her big brother, who is taking after Peter’s footsteps with dreams of a singing career.
A source said earlier this year: “Princess and Junior have proven themselves to be well-mannered, hardworking kids and opportunities continue to come their way.
“Execs were impressed with the ratings for The Princess Diaries but also how they came across.
“They’re brilliant signings for Celeb Race as they bring with them a younger audience.
“But bosses are also looking forward to seeing how they cope with the stripped-back style of travelling as they’re more at home in five- star hotels than a hostel.”
Junior and Princess left London to start work on the show in February, amid the start of the controversy surrounding their mum Katie’s whirlwind wedding to Lee Andrews.
Now, eight months on, the marriage has fallen apart, with Katie bracing herself for a complicated divorce in the wake of Lee’s conman behaviour and stint in jail.
Fans of the famous offspring will be able to chart Junior and Princess’ mission when Celebrity Race Across The World returns to iPlayer and BBC One next Wednesday.
