Mother and son Caroline and Tom Bridge have crossed the finish line first to become the winners of the fifth series of Race Across The World. The BBC One show saw five pairs race a distance of about 8,700 miles (14,000km) between the Great Wall of China, north of Bejing, and Kanniyakumari, the southernmost tip of India.

Race Across The World isn’t a public vote; the most deserving winner isn’t even a matter of opinion. The winner is the team who gets to the finish line first.

It was the final of Race Across The World on Wednesday, and as mother and son duo Caroline and Tom were crowned its winners, fans took to social media to hail it the 'best ever final'.
