Celebrity Hunted returns for fifth series

Celebrity Hunted, will return to Channel 4 this year for a brand-new fifth series as ten more famous faces go on the run as fugitives, hoping to evade capture by the Hunters.

Ian Dunkley, Commissioning Editor for Factual Entertainment at Channel 4:

“We are delighted to be bringing back one of the most thrilling nationwide chase games with an esteemed group of celebrities supporting the amazing efforts of Stand Up To Cancer.”

The celebrity fugitives taking part in the series for Stand Up To Cancer are confirmed as comedians and hosts of the Off Menu Podcast, Ed Gamble and James Acaster, Strictly Come Dancing star Katya Jones and best friend, TV presenter and former Olympic snowboarder Aimee Fuller and life-change experts Nik and Eva Speakman.

Also signed up to be hunted are social media and Strictly star Saffron Barker and TV Mathematician Bobby Seagull as well as broadcaster and Coronation Street actress Nicola Thorp and boyfriend, and Starstruck and The Devil’s Hour actor, Nikesh Patel.

The ten celebrities will attempt to stay off the radar and remain at large for two weeks as a new crack team of hunters try and hunt them down. With former police officers, intelligence, and army personnel hot on their tail and faces recognisable across the UK, will they be able to remain undetected?

The celebrities will be taking part for Stand Up To Cancer, the joint national fundraising campaign from Cancer Research UK and Channel 4.

Celebrity Hunted for Stand Up to Cancer will air at the end of March.
