Princess and Junior Andre, the children of Katie Price and Peter Andre, have been confirmed as one of the pairs taking part in the upcoming series of Celebrity Race Across the World. The brother-and-sister duo join the BBC show's lineup, in which teams travel the globe without access to planes, credit cards or smartphones.
Princess, 19, has fronted her own ITV2 reality show, while Junior, 21, works as a musician. Their participation had been widely rumoured before the official announcement.
Full lineup revealed
Alongside Princess and Junior, the other confirmed pairs are Eurovision star Sam Ryder with his best friend and tour manager Kaz, BRIT Award-winning singer-songwriter Ella Eyre with her childhood friend Nana, and veteran sports broadcaster Jeff Stelling with his son Matt.
The BBC confirmed the news with a series of photos of the pairs, saying: "Say hello to the lineup of Celebrity Race Across the World, coming soon to BBC iPlayer."
Stars react to the news
Princess broke her silence on Instagram, writing: "Finally....we are excited to announce that we are part of @raceacrosstheworld!!" Meanwhile, Sam Ryder addressed the news on social media, writing: "see you soon bbc1".
Insiders previously claimed the pair had signed up. A source told The Sun: "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."
Previous winner's experience
Last year, The One Show star Roman Kemp and his sister Harley Moon, children of Martin and Shirlie Kemp, emerged victorious. Following his win, Roman told The Mirror: "It's the hardest thing I've ever done in my life, by far."
Celebrity Race Across The World will air on BBC One and iPlayer soon.
