Fans of Celebrity Race Across the World are worried that Princess and Junior Andre may not finish the race after a difficult opening episode. The fourth season began last night, with celebrities travelling from Borneo to Melbourne, Australia, a journey of 7,500 km through rainforests, deserts and oceans.
By the end of the first episode, the siblings were 230 km from the finish line, riding a night bus that smelled of vomit because passengers kept being sick. Viewers took to social media to share their concerns.
Fans Doubt the Siblings
On X, @superTV247 wrote: 'So… I have this feeling that Princess and Junior are not going to finish the race.' Pop Culture Review described the pair's first leg as a 'Trip of nightmares', while @IanDSharman added: 'I'm watching Celebrity Race Across The World and I'm genuinely worried for Katie Price and Peter Andre's children.'
On Reddit, one user branded the siblings 'utterly hopeless', and another replied: '[I] wouldn't be surprised if they drop out.'
Support for the Andre Pair
Not all viewers doubt Princess and Junior. On Reddit, @PharmaNemesis1 noted they are the only ones who 'haven't wasted money on taxis' and warned others not to underestimate them. User triathlon2027 praised the pair, writing: 'It is clear within 10 minutes Junior Andre was raised well as he supports his sister. He has a compassionate nature.'
MojoMomma76 agreed, commenting: 'They are adorable and really hoping they both grow in confidence on this trip – Junior in particular is such a lovely and caring young man and Princess seems so sheltered, hope they have a good one.'
Celebrity Race Across the World continues on BBC One next Wednesday at 8pm.
