Just six months ago, the last Race Across the World<\/a> duo were crowned the winners of the series, and now it\u2019s time for another pair take on the most demanding race across 24 countries and 10,000km.<\/p>\n

For the first time ever, four celebrity pairs will take on the challenge from Marrakech, Morocco, to Troms\u00f8, Norway.<\/p>\n

The cast will feature Alex Beresford and his father, Billy Monger and his sister, Mel Blatt and her mother and Harry Judd and his mother.<\/p>\n

In the six-part celebrity special, Good Morning Britain<\/a> broadcaster and meteorologist Alex Beresford will be taking part in the race with his father Noel.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Radio Times magazine<\/strong>, Alex revealed he chose his dad for the Celebrity Race Across the World<\/a> challenge because \u201cyou don\u2019t get to spend this sort of time with your parents as an adult\u201d.<\/p>\n

Alex opted to take his dad on the race from Morocco to Norway instead of his wife, because it was \u201cthe right decision\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t get to spend this sort of time with your parents as an adult. Imogen was upset, as she loves travelling and she\u2019s a fan of the show but, as much as I love her and spending time with her, I\u2019m not sure this was the honeymoon she\u2019d want!<\/p>\n

\u201cWith hindsight, I think I made the right decision,\u201d Alex told Radio Times magazine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
