Celebrity Race Across The World is back on BBC One tonight, August 14, with four teams vying for the top spot. They'll hit five checkpoints en route but won't discover their next destination until they're ready to depart. This year's contestants include Jeff and Freddy Brazier, Ted Lasso star Kola Bokinni and his cousin Mary Ellen, broadcaster Kelly Brook and her husband Jeremy, and Radio 2 host Scott Mills and his husband Sam.

The second season's route is even more extensive than the first season's 10,000km trek from Morocco to Norway. Weather presenter Alex Beresford and his father Noel were declared the winners of the inaugural season. For the second season, the race will kick off in Belem, Northern Brazil, known as the gateway to the Amazon.

There will be five checkpoints across South America before reaching the finish line in Frutillar, Southern Chile, in the Andes. Here's what you need to know about the potential checkpoints as the celebrity spin-off gets underway. The competitors could traverse nine countries during their journey, including Guyana, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru in the north of the continent.
