The countdown is on for The Amazing Race Australia 2025, with the next crop of contestants filming the show as we speak!
A popular Aussie TV staple, the show follows hopeful pairs who trek across the world, compete in challenges, and race to each pit stop to avoid elimination.
While many everyday Australians have competed for the large cash prize, some familiar faces have also been on the show.
In the celebrity spin-off, actor Darren McMullen and his nephew Tristan Dougan shared their victory with Emma and Hayley Watkins and Ali and Angie Simpson in 2023, and Tai ‘Bam Bam’ and Logan Tuivasa won in 2024.
There’s quite a mix of stars competing this year. See who the contestants are below.
What celebrities are competing on The Amazing Race Australia 2025?
Ant Middleton and Dan Middleton
Brothers
When the cast list was first announced, it was confirmed that former SAS Australia chief instructor Ant Middleton would be trading the special forces for an adventure across the world alongside his brother Dan.
Halfway through filming, however, it was revealed that the duo had been removed from the show after a verbal altercation between Dan and fellow racers Luke and Sassy Scott took place.
According to insider sources, fellow racer Brendan Fevola threatened to quit the show if Channel 10 did not disqualify the team as a result of Dan’s alleged behaviour, which took place off-screen.
“Network 10 takes the health, safety and well-being of all contestants seriously. Following a breach of production’s code of conduct by one contestant, on a day off during production, a team from The Amazing Race Australia was disqualified and swiftly sent home,” a Network 10 spokesperson told New Idea.
Brendan and Leni Fevola
Father and daughter
Former AFL player and radio host Brendan Fevola revealed on his show Fifi, Fev & Nick, that he’s competing this year!
“I’m going on a little holiday… I got an opportunity last year to do something with my 18-year-old daughter, Leni, to travel the world on a TV show… The Amazing Race! So, I won’t be on the show as of Monday, and I could be away for a couple of days… it could be a couple of weeks,” he said on 14th March.
It’s not the first time Brendan has headed on an adventure on Channel 10 – he won I’m a Celebrity… Me Out of Here! in 2016.

Who is hosting The Amazing Race Australia 2025?
Beau Ryan is returning to hosting duties once again!
Speaking to Channel 10 before the 2024 season, he said many things made the show special.
“I think the people in the countries we visit are the difference, which is so key to the show,” he said.
“People are so important for the teams because not only do you have to get through challenges and work with random people in public – whether they’re asking for directions or jumping in their taxi – they have to work with the locals and the locals this year were brilliant.”
Before Beau came on board, actor Grant Bowler hosted The Amazing Race Australia on Channel Seven for three seasons between 2010 and 2014.
When does The Amazing Race Australia premiere in 2025?
The show is returning to Channel 10, but no date has been set.
