BBC celebrity show postponed because of coronavirus

The celebrity version of BBC series Race Across The World has been postponed amid the coronavirus outbreak.

A statement from a BBC spokeswoman said: “Celebrity Race Across the World involves contestants travelling across a number of different countries, and given that official advice in relation to specific countries is continually changing in line with the spread of Covid-19, Studio Lambert has decided to delay production on this series in consultation with and supported by the BBC.

“We will continue to review all productions on a case-by-case basis following the latest news and advice from the Foreign Office, World Health Organisation and Public Health England.”
