Story and premise

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.
