Worlds Apart-besætning: Mød deltagerne i den nye Channel 4-serie

Channel 4s nye sunde og opløftende show Worlds Apart er ved at overtage alle vores liv.

Serien vil følge 12 voksne, seks unge, der aldrig har rejst alene før og seks pensionister, der troede, at de måske aldrig ville rejse igen. Hver ung vil blive parret med en pensionist for at jage spor i en enorm skattejagt på tværs af Japan.

Med deltagerne i alderen fra 18 til 80 år, byder showet på en eklektisk line-up af teenagere, der lige er startet på deres voksne liv, og pensionister, der ønsker at afslutte deres gyldne år i komfort.

Med en pengepræmie, der skal vindes, bliver de nødt til at lægge eventuelle generationsforskelle til side for at kunne arbejde sammen og blive det første hold, der krydser målstregen.

Mens vi venter på, at den nye serie begynder i næste uge, så lad os tage et kig på hele rækken af ​​konkurrencer til Channel 4's Worlds Apart.

Livet har ikke altid været let for Aaron, da han er blevet ude af det lokale plejehjem for under 18 år, hvor han boede, står han nu over for udsigten til hjemløshed. Hvis han vinder, håber han at bruge præmiepengene på at finde sin egen lejlighed, tage køretimer og tage på drengeferie.
