It's not yet confirmed what will be included in the third instalment in the series, or how the coronavirus restrictions have impacted the upcoming episodes, but the news will no doubt go down well with viewers thanks to the first two series' huge popularity.

The first two seasons of the light-hearted documentary, which began in 2019, saw The Chase presenter Bradley and 23-year-old Barney travel to different corners of the USA as they embarked on a daring road trip, starting at the southernmost point of the country – Florida Keys.
