<\/p>\nAfter six nail biting weeks on our screens, Celebrity Race Across the World finally came to its jaw dropping conclusion, with Alex Beresford taking home the coveted win with his dad Noel.<\/p>\n
The duo were the first to arrive at the final checkpoint in Tromso, Norway, with the delighted pair clearly overwhelmed with emotion as they celebrated their impressive accomplishment with a series of warm embraces.<\/p>\n
Hot on their heels however were McFly star Harry Judd and his mum Emma, who finished just four minutes behind the pair, with All Saints star Melanie Blatt and her mum Helene taking home the third place title.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Billy Monger and his sister Bonny failed to complete the race, as they pulled out of the final leg of the competition due to a family emergency which required that they return home immediately.<\/p>\n
Following his unexpected win, Good Morning Britain weatherman Alex told viewers: \u201cWe\u2019ve been fully consumed by the race, and anything that has been happening in the outside world has been so far away, and that\u2019s probably a good thing. You can\u2019t dwell on things, you have to move on mentally so that you can move on physically, so I feel great about that.\u201d <\/p>\n
Alex, who famously once found himself at the heart of an on air dispute which resulted in Piers Morgan storming off set, admitted that the race process had allowed him to see things differently thanks to the challenge.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like I\u2019ve readjusted,\u201d said Alex. \u201cI\u2019ve never taken this amount of time off of work before, the race has challenged my routine and I definitely think I have become more open minded, it\u2019s been nice to let my hair down, so to speak.\u201d<\/p>\n
During the show, the celebrity teams were taken all over the world, with their journey taking them to the Alps, Marrakech and Scandinavia in the hopes of reaching the crucial checkpoints in time.<\/p>\n
Early favourites to win the show, Harry and his mum Emma were a big hit with fans at home, with Billy and Bonny even confessing they felt they were this biggest threat to them during the competition.<\/p>\n
Billy said: "They\u2019ve just been at the top from the get-go and they\u2019ve been right in the mix," whilst Noel Beresford, Alex\u2019s father, also agreed, adding: "I always had my eye on Harry and Emma.\u201d<\/p>\n
Prior to their win on the final instalment of the series, Alex revealed that winning the show would be the \u201cicing on the cake\u201d after a tremendous journey which had brought him and his dad closer together.<\/p>\n

"The race can be won in many ways. We\u2019ve all experienced coming in last, missed buses and coaches. Your fortune can change in a second. Winning the race would be the icing on the cake, but the ingredients of the race is the bigger win,\u201d admitted the star.<\/p>\n
Although Harry and Emma came in a commendable second place, Harry confessed that he still felt like a winner, even before the final result had been revealed.<\/p>\n
He said: "I feel like it\u2019s anyone\u2019s game. I love winning. But this time it feels different, because I\u2019m with Mum, it feels like we\u2019ve already won.\u201d<\/p>\n
It was a sentiment which was echoed by his mum following their last minute defeat as she told viewers: \u201cIt wasn\u2019t about winning the race, it was about the journey we\u2019ve been on. I know I\u2019ve done my best. It doesn\u2019t matter where we come, we\u2019ve had the most amazing, incredible journey."<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
