Destination X fans 'gutted' as final three revealed in heartbreaking scenes

After a nail biting semi-final, the final three of Destination Xhave final been revealed, and fans are heartbroken. The epic semi-final saw, Darren eliminated from the show at the final hurdle of the BBC show, fronted by Rob Brydon. Darren was booted out of the show after opting for Paris as his penultimate choice after a clue on the famous Mona Lisa. It was later revealed that the contestants were in Monaco.

However, the contestants marks weren't final as they took part in a stick or twist challenge, but unfortunately, it wasn't enough for Darren to stay in the competition - as he was left in tears as he said goodbye.

Leaving the bus, Darren couldn't get his words out as he began to choke up. "Well done Darren," Saskia said in tears. "Listen, it's been a privilege to get to know you all," Darren said holding back the tears. "Jackie P, here I come," as he left to cheers from the finalists.

Now, just Josh, Saskia and Judith remain in the process, and one of them will walk away £100,000 richer. After weeks on the road, it all comes down to this - but it’s not going to be easy.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter after the finalists were revealed, one wrote: "The people’s hero has gone!" another disappointed fan wrote: "Nooooooo Darren!!" "Nooooo Darren out im so sad," a third gutted fan wrote.

The final will see the competitors put to the test as old clues resurface, and old rivalries heating up. The BBC have confirmed a dramatic final ahead, as a monstrous first challenge will see some players given an advantage in the race to the final Destination X.

Josh, Saskia and Judith will face a nail-biting race around one of Europe’s most iconic cities - but the show has teased that "not everything you see can be believed."

Despite Josh, Saskia and Judith all making it to the final, there were moments all three thought they'd be eliminated from the competition.

"In the second challenge, I really had no idea where I was," Josh said. "I had to go completely off what other players were saying and ended up hedging my bets my ‘X’ right in the middle of two places that I had heard other players say, I was very lucky to have stayed in."

As for Saskia, she thought she was a 'goner' right before the semi-final. "Definitely the moment right before the semi-final was when Josh and I had not seen the Pisa clue, we really had to put our heads together to try and work out where we thought the bus could be going," she said.

"I was very grateful for him in that moment." Judith on the other hand, was convinced she was going to be eliminated "all the time".

"Honestly, all the time, literally, most of the time in that map room," she laughed when asked. "I was just taking every challenge as it was coming and every map room as a challenge on its own. It was just about getting through and not being last so I just didn't want to let my guard down too much."

The three contestants will be battling it out tomorrow night - but who will take the crown?

The final of Destination X airs Thursday 28th August, 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
