The Big Trip on Channel 7

4th November 2024


Road tripping with a twist! 

New celebrity adventure series The Big Trip revives the great Aussie road trip.

Eight stars of screen, sport and comedy embark on the Great Aussie Road Trip with a twist in the brand-new adventure series, The Big Trip, premiering 8.30pm, Wednesday 13 November on Channel 7 and 7plus. 

 

Hosted by comedian Dave “Thorno” Thornton, The Big Trip sees four pairs of celebrity friends set out on an epic adventure across the Australian outback, with just two weeks to make it from the Great Australian Bight to Sydney’s Harbour Bridge.

 

The original format turns road tripping into a competitive sport, with the celebs facing high-stakes challenges at every turn, as they compete for the chance to gift $300,000 of hybrid and EV cars to some lucky fans.

 

What starts as a love letter to Australia and its larrikin locals, twists and turns through white-knuckle, nail-biting moments to hilarious shenanigans, as alliances form, betrayals brew and scandals erupt with teams going to any lengths to claim victory. 

 

The four teams of celebrity pals competing on The Big Trip are: 

 

The Competitors – Olympic Gold medallist and Australian Survivor contestant Lydia Lassila and actor turned Australian Survivor winner Pia Miranda

The Performers – “Covergirl comedian” and 2024 Dancing With The Stars finalist Nikki Osborne and Underbelly star Gyton Grantley

The Stylists – former The Block contestants Mitch and Mark 

The Comedians – TV WEEK Logie Award winner Dilruk Jayasinha and fellow comedian Anthony ‘Lehmo’ Lehmann

 

Produced by FINCH and Maker Real, the only thing you can expect from The Big Trip is the unexpected. Let the adventure begin!
