Race Across The World winners Alfie and Owen admit they 'absolutely rinsed' the budget during luxury hotel stays at checkpoints where they enjoyed '24-hour room service'

Race Across The World winners Alfie and Owen have admitted that they 'absolutely rinsed' the budget during their luxury hotel stays while on the show.

Series four winner Alfie, 20, confirmed that the teams can stay in secret hotels for up to two days at each checkpoint - which isn't aired during the episodes. Mark informed Broadcast that visas and vaccines for 'every conceivable country' are arranged in advance, with 'every likely bus and train option, cost and connection' being researched. The dramatic final scenes saw Alfie and Owen dart along the beach in Indonesia surrounded by gleaming tropical waters before arriving at the book to find they had won the race.
