Celebrity Race Across The World 2025 Odds: Three-Horse Race At Halfway Stage
Celebrity Race Across The World 2025 looked like it would be easy to predict after leg one when one pairing amassed a near 24-hour lead over second place, but it's all to play for on betting sites.
Anita Rani and her dad, Balvinder Singh Nazran, were in control of the race after episode one, but there are now just eight minutes separating the top three teams - and the father-daughter pair have been knocked off the top spot.
The show sees four star pairings - broadcaster Anita and her father Balvinder; actor Dylan Llewellyn and his mum, Jackie; partners, presenter and DJ Tyler West and actor and singer, Molly Rainford; and broadcaster Roman Kemp and his sister, singer-songwriter Harleymoon - travel 5,900km on a budget, and without phones or the use of air travel.
In episode three, they set off from El Zonte, El Salvador, in search of the third checkpoint, Valle de Angeles in Honduras, which is the halfway stage of the contest.
'Guiding Star' Molly
Molly and Tyler are the new favourites on betting apps to win this year's Celebrity Race Across the World, after they overcame illness to finish first in leg three.
At the beginning of the episode, Tyler told the others that Molly wasn't well, because of something she'd eaten.
She soon recovered, and it was Tyler who felt ill as they set off in search of checkpoint three.
Amidst feeling blue, they had a mixed start to leg three after hitching a free ride, but then they boarded a bus going in the wrong direction.

Dylan Llewellyn And Jackie Llewellyn | 2/1 | 33.3% |
Roman And Harleymoon Kemp | 4/1 | 20% |
There were further issues to come, as Molly and Tyler's next bus broke down, and, now feeling better, the TV and radio presenter had to get off and push to jump-start it.
Later, they were joined by some familiar faces as Dylan and Jackie got on the same bus, and when the two pairings reached their next destination, they saw Anita and Bal.
All three teams were just 170km away from the checkpoint, making for an exhilarating finish to episode three.
The trio boarded the same bus, and while two teams got off, Anita and Bal went to a village 6km closer to the checkpoint following a tip-off.
However, they soon had to backtrack when there were no hotels in sight.
The teams arrived at the checkpoint area at the same time, and there was a tuk-tuk race, which Tyler compared to being in a "James Bond film".
While the pair felt shaken and stirred at the beginning of the leg, they were jubilant upon finishing first, and Tyler praised Molly for being his "guiding star".
Molly and Tyler are now 6/4 frontrunners for Celebrity Race Across the World victory, just in front of former market and race leaders Anita and Bal, who have slipped to 7/4 second favourites after losing their lead.
Dylan's Delight
Molly and Tyler are just seven minutes ahead of Anita and Bal, who arrived at the checkpoint just one minute in front of Dylan and Jackie.
The mother and son duo had a comical moment during the final dash to the checkpoint, when they thought they'd arrived at the hotel - but it turned out to be a restaurant with the same name.
Derry Girls star Dylan then looked demoralised when he realised they had finished the leg behind the other two teams, assuming he and his mum had finished last again.
However, his despair soon turned to joy when he saw they were third and just eight minutes behind leaders Tyler and Molly.
Dylan and Jackie are now 2/1 third favourites to win this year's Celebrity Race Across the World.
Roman's Panic
The three teams wondered where Roman and Harleymoon were, and wished them well.
While it's known they are now in fourth place, viewers were not told how far behind the Kemps are.
They didn't have a smooth leg, including a moment of "panic" when Roman decided they should get off a bus to their destination and change route.
However, moments later, the pair resumed the same route.
Roman and Harleymoon also had a delay when they were promised a lift by a fisherman, but he left them waiting a while, much to their anguish.
As a result, they have drifted out to 4/1 to win this year's contest, and they are now propping up the outright market.
