When the celebrity edition of travel reality show Race Across the World was announced, believe us when we say we absolutely lost it. Since the original version first aired in 2019, we've been obsessed with the wanderlust-ey thrill-seekers who take on the challenge of racing across an area of the globe to reach a destination the fastest. All without hopping on a plane.

In terms of who will be taking part this celebrity season, Harry Judd was revealed as one of the four celebs who will be trying to make his way from Marrakesh, Morocco to Tromsø, in Norway, alongside his mum Emma.

But who actually is Harry and what do we know about him? Here's everything you need to know about his career, personal life and more.

Harry is 37-years-old and was born on 23 December 1985, making him a Capricorn.

Shortly after, he joined McFly as their drummer, who were invited to join Busted on tour with them in 2004. The band soon catapulted to success thanks to their debut album, 'Room on the 3rd Floor,' which debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart. It featured the now-classic hits, 'Five Colours in Her Hair' and 'Obviously.'

The following year, McFly won the 2005 Brit Award for Best British Pop Act.

Since then, Harry - along with McFly - has gone on to enjoy a seriously successful music career, winning further accolades and selling millions of records in the process.

Aside from McFly, Harry was also a member of the supergroup, McBusted, which consisted of members from both McFly and Busted.

He also won the 2011 series of Strictly Come Dancing and published his first book, Get Fit Get Happy in 2017.

Harry's wife is former Escala violinist, Brittany Johnston, who goes by the moniker Izzy. The couple met when she was hired to play in the string section during McFly's 2005 tour.

Fast forward seven years and the two tied the knot in 2012 with a star-studded wedding, which included celeb guests like Emma and Matt Willis.

Harry also performed a few tracks with his McFly bandmates, who were among his 11 ushers.

Does Harry Judd have children?

The musician has three children whom he shares with his wife, Izzy. The couple welcomed their first child in 2016 via IVF - a daughter called Lola. Their second child, a baby boy called Kit was conceived naturally and born in 2017.

Then, four years later, Harry and Izzy announced the birth of their third child in 2017 - a second son who they named Lockie.
