What celebrities are competing on The Amazing Race in Australia in 2024?
Channel Ten has yet to confirm which celebrities will be competing on The Amazing Race: Celebrity Edition in 2024.
Speaking with TV Tonight, host Beau Ryan said that he was “happy” to return to the celebrity version for the second year in a row.
“I mean, we had huge success last year off the back of the celebrity version, but I do like the fact that average Australians can compete as well.
“It’s only a matter of time before we probably go back to that format. We’ve got an incredible cast and we are going relatively soon.”
