CELEBRITY HUNTED: FAMOUS FUGITIVES CONFIRMED FOR NEXT SERIES ON CHANNEL 4

Celebrity Hunted sees famous faces turn fugitive. If they can successfully outrun the elite team of hunters for 21 days, they will win a share of £100,000 for charity. On the run across the length and breadth of the UK, these fugitives will be looking over their shoulders, ever fearful that the hunters have picked up their trail.

The celebrities are tasked with going on the run across mainland UK while an elite team of Hunters try to track them down. They must evade capture for 14 days, while the Hunters throw all their resources at catching them.

The Hunters are handpicked team of police and military personnel, are armed with the powers of the state – CCTV and ANPR cameras, helicopters, drones, dogs, media campaigns and the latest in cyber forensic technology. Can these celebrity fugitives escape the glare of the spotlight and remain under the radar?

Celebrities taking part in the next series, recorded in 2023, are: Strictly Come Dancing professional dancers Giovanni Pernice and Kai Widdrington; Loose Women's Denise Welch and husband Lincoln, soap stars Danielle Harold and Kimberley Hart-Simpson; TV personality Christine McGuinness and Blue's Duncan James; journalists Simon McCoy and Lucrezia Millarini; plus TV personality Zeze Millz and David Whitel.

Earlier this year it was revealed that Channel 4 has delayed recommissioning Hunted, with no new series being filmed last year. Broadcast reports decisions on further series will be made after its upcoming celebrity series.

The most recent series of Hunted, which concluded last month on Channel 4, was filmed in Summer 2022 and kept on the shelf since. Broadcast reports that the delay in recommissioning the series, which means no series will record this year, is due to Channel 4 keeping the show on the shelf for so long and commissioning cycles falling out-of-sync with transmission.

Hunted is available on Channel 4.
