Race Across The World final, Jo and Kush call it 'very tense'

tvMay 21, 202618279

Jo and Kush, childhood friends from Liverpool, won this series of Race Across The World and described the finale as "very tense." The Merseyside pair were the youngest duo in the series, having applied in January 2025 after finishing their A-levels. Two pairs crossed the line just hours apart after a crucial mistake set one team back. The close finish highlights the show's emphasis on endurance and navigation, and the BBC is inviting applications for the next series.

God, Race Across The World is magnificent. Huge, huge props to the incredible story producers on that show. They must have a mountain of material to fashion into that fabulous programme. A milliner’s worth of chapeaus to them. Makes me cry every time.

The friendship between Jo and Kush on Race Across the World is the perfect antidote to the whole toxic masculinity narrative. The kids are ok, they’re wonderful and they really know how to care for each other.

They are so lovely! And so devoted to each other, it’s adorable and inspiring. “Where are the positive role models for young boys???” There! Right there! With the two teenaged lads from Liverpool collecting walnuts together in a place improbably named Arslanbob!

Husband and I said exactly that. Their friendship is an example of what many men should be aspiring to. Celebrating each others wins, being there for each other during tough periods and generally being good eggs

Love their friendship and how they know what to do for each other intuitively. The world would be a much better place if we had more Jo and Kush in it.

In a world where young men are often written about negatively, or headlines focus on the words and actions of self-proclaimed influencers of toxic-masculinity, can we take a moment to celebrate Race Across The World's Jo and Kush? #RATW

I'm not gonna lie. I'll 100% be rooting for these two in tonights final of 'Race Across The World'. The episode where Kush revealed his story was one of the best and most moving since the show began, and in Jo he has the embodiment of true friendship 🙏x www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Jo and Kush from Race Across the World are surely going to be major stars. Or they will achieve world peace just by virtue of being the two soundest guys that ever lived.
