Elisabetta Gregoraci to Join Pechino Express with Sister Marzia, libero.it reports
Television host Elisabetta Gregoraci is preparing to join the cast of the reality show Pechino Express for its upcoming 2027 edition, partnering with her sister Marzia Gregoraci, libero.it reported.
A Physical Shift from Studio Broadcasts to Endurance Travel
The proposed venture places the 46-year-old presenter in a physically demanding environment that differs sharply from her past television roles. For Gregoraci, this project marks a return to the reality television format after her 2020 appearance on Grande Fratello VIP. Unlike the enclosed studio setting of her previous reality tenure, Pechino Express requires contestants to endure sparse living conditions, limited resources, and physically demanding travel legs. The format shifts the public focus away from standard red-carpet appearances and studio broadcasts, offering viewers a view of the television personality under sustained physical and emotional stress.
Production Schedule Adjusted After Host Injury
Registrations for the upcoming season of Pechino Express are scheduled to begin in November. The production timeline was adjusted following an injury sustained by the program’s host, Costantino della Gherardesca. Neither Gregoraci nor the show’s production team has issued an official confirmation or denial regarding her participation in the cast. Production announcements from Sky are expected to clarify the official contestant roster ahead of the November recording dates.
Real Estate Professional Marzia Joins the Sibling Duo
The prospective journey pairs the television host with her sister, Marzia Gregoraci. While Elisabetta works primarily in broadcast media, Marzia operates as a real estate professional specializing in luxury properties. The sibling duo would face a series of logistical hurdles together, managing tight budgets and unfamiliar environments far removed from their daily routines.
South American Route Set for 2027 Edition
Producers have slated the 2027 edition of the program for South America, though specific host countries remain unannounced. Past iterations of the travel-competition series in the region have visited nations such as Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, and Colombia. The prospective route will test whether the participants can adapt to the physical demands of long-distance travel and endurance challenges, echoing the rigorous geographic transitions seen in earlier seasons of the broadcast.
