Sioned, who competed with her boyfriend Fin Gough, were the youngest contestants to take part in the BBC travel programme.

On Instagram, Sioned said she “had no idea” how much a challenge the race would be, but described it as an “amazing opportunity”.

The couple came third in the race, with mother and son duo Caroline and Tom coming in first place, sisters Elizabeth and Letitia in second and brothers Brian and Melvyn in fourth place.

After travelling through China and Nepal, all four teams were hoping to reach the final checkpoint in the southernmost tip of India, Kanyakumari, first and claim a cash prize of £20,000.
