Celebrity Races Across the World 2025 star Harleymoon Kemp has gone back to work as a singer ahead of tonight’s final.

Harleymoon, 37, has spent the last six weeks on screens in the BBC series with her brother Roman, 32.

The sibling team begin tonight’s final in second place behind Molly Rainford and Tyler West. But can they dig deep and make it to the last checkpoint first?

Ahead of tonight’s final, Harleymoon has given fans a taste at what she enjoys most – singing.

Harleymoon, 37, juggles her love of country music with her job as a director and producer for commercials. But it’s quite clear what her main passion is.

Harleymoon has spent the past few weeks touring the UK with her music and has shared some videos of her amazing singing voice with fans on Instagram.

Earlier this week, Harleymoon uploaded a clip of herself performing her song Back in Tennessee. She is wearing a beige Stetson, an off-the-shoulder corset and snakeskin trousers.

Harleymoon captioned the post: “Been amazing getting to hug and meet you guys at the shows this week – thanks for the support so far and streaming my songs – See u tonight in London.”

Commenting, one follower said: “So happy that it has gone so well for you. What a talent x.” Another added: “Fantastic, keep going you’re a real talent!” And a third added: “Beautiful. What can’t your family do?!”

Harleymoon and Roman’s famous parents

Harleymoon and Roman are the daughter and son of Spandau Ballet star Martin Kemp, who has just been in I’m A Celebrity. Their mum, Shirlie, was also one half of 80s duo, Pepsi and Shirlie.

Their godfathers are the late George Michael, who died in 2016, and Martin’s Spandau Ballet co-star and brother, Gary. But despite their showbiz links, Harleymoon has refused to be a Nepo-baby.

Speaking to CountryRadio.co.uk, Harleymoon previously said she was “put off” pursuing a music career when she was 18. She had visited a record label to play her music but didn’t like their reaction.

“I was always scared,” Harleymoon said. “If your parents are successful musicians… well, I didn’t want to be judged on their success. I was really afraid of that.

“I remember going to a record label when I was 18 and they said, ‘Oh you’re so and so’s kid. We will give it a listen’. I know they didn’t really listen to it and I felt scared of the name attachment.

“It really put me off. So I ended up going down a photography route and did music in the background for other people.”

But as she grew older, Harleymoon decided to give it another go after realising singing really is her dream. In 2020, her single Space hit number 1 in the UK Country Charts.

Harleymoon is also adding another string to her bow. This weekend, she will take to the airwaves and host on Absolute Country Music. You can listen to Harleymoon on Sunday December 14 from 5pm.

Celebrity Race Across the World Final: Harleymoon reflects

Tonight, Harleymoon and Roman will be seen competing for one last time in the Celebrity Race Across the World Final. The siblings are up against Molly and Tyler, Dylan Llewellyn and his mum Jackie, and Anita Rani and her dad Bal.

The teams have already travelled a whopping 4,500km from Central America and into South America.

It has been a real emotional rollercoaster for all the pairings, but especially Harleymoon and Roman. Throughout their journey, Roman has spoken on multiple occasions about his battle with his mental health.

Last week, he tearfully thanked Harleymoon for ‘saving his life’ during a desperate phone call when he previously felt suicidal.

Speaking ahead of tonight’s final, Harleymoon said: “I think Roman has taught me the art of being honest about your emotions. I think I’ve always just been upbeat. Don’t worry about it.

“And I think Roman being able to communicate how he feels all the time, strangely made me feel like, ‘Oh, that’s not a weakness. That’s a really powerful tool that you have, to be able to express how you feel’. And I feel really inspired by that.”

Harleymoon has since posted a picture of herself and Roman from Celebrity Race Across the World on Instagram.

Captioning it, she said: “The adventure of a lifetime.. but honestly.. the best part was getting to spend 6 weeks with @romankemp as best mates. Went straight back to feeling like kids again xx.”

Good luck for tonight, guys!
