The 21-year-old duo managed to secure victory in Lombok, claiming the coveted £20,000 prize and etching their names in the annals of the Bafta-winning BBC One Show, making them the youngest team to clinch the championship title.

Competing against formidable pairs like mother-daughter team Eugenie and Isabel, siblings Betty and James, and couple Stephen and Viv, Alfie and Owen’s journey transpired over 50 days, spanning an impressive 15,000km across six nations in eastern Asia.
