A Race Across The World pairing who are 'effectively strangers' are set to make BBC show history as the first ever in-laws competing together. One of the pairings taking on the challenge are Mark and Margo - who by their own admission were 'effectively strangers' but came together due to a family tragedy. It comes after the BBC launched a series of spin-off for Race Across The World in a brand new landmark streaming shake-up. Scott Mills, who won the second series of the celebrity version of Race Across the World, will be the voice and face behind Race Across the World: The Detour. The BBC have described the podcast as the programme's 'younger, wilder sibling, charting the ups and downs of the upcoming series'.
