'Absolutely Deserved': Winner of Destination X Revealed as Fans Left 'in Tears'

Judith, a nuclear engineer, won BBC's Destination X by demonstrating superior geographical skills and overcoming challenges and alliances to claim the £100,000 prize.

  • On Thursday, Destination X’s final in Rome crowned nuclear engineer Judith the winner, securing the 100,000 prize after contestants raced to find presenter Rob Brydon.
  • After weeks of travel and puzzles, Destination X's format as a crossover between The Traitors and Race Across the World helped it amass a solid fanbase over recent weeks, with contestants visiting Salzburg, Munich and Monaco.
  • Josh reached the final with a golden-ticket advantage, entering with three golden tickets while Saskia had one and Judith none; Judith won the race to find Rob at the Spanish Steps, beating Josh by 30 seconds and Saskia by two minutes 25 seconds.
  • Fans on X celebrated Judith's underdog victory, while finalists reunited with Darren, James and Dawn for a heartwarming close; Rob Brydon revealed the winner after fearing a spoil earlier this month, and the episode streams on BBC iPlayer.
  • Judith's victory establishes the show's first-ever champion, closing its debut series run, which combined vision‑obscuring technology with an intercity route over recent weeks.
