- Iwan Thomas and Richard Whitehead – Sprinter Iwan represented Great Britain in the 1996 Olympic games in Atlanta, and still holds the official British 400m record – which he secured in 1997.

- Ollie and Gareth Locke – Made in Chelsea star Ollie will not only be taking part in Celebrity Hunted 2022, but he’ll be doing it alongside his husband, Gareth. The husbands will no doubt be putting their teamwork skills to the test as they attempt to flee the authorities as a pair.
- Chizzy Akudolu and Lisa Maffia – Holby City actress Chizzy teams up with Singer-songwriter Lisa. She is perhaps best known as the main female member of So Solid Crew, a hip-hop collective that found fame in the noughties.
- The Vivienne and Chloe Veitch – Drag performer The Vivienne, whose real name is James Lee Williams, won the 2019 series of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK. He teams up with Chloe, who first found fame on Netflix‘s racy reality show Too Hot To Handle.
What are the rules of the Channel 4 show?
The name of the game is for the contestants to avoid capture from highly skilled Hunters.
They can take anything they can carry with them, including tents, food, and disguises, and they are given access to a bank account with £250 in it. They are not allowed to leave the UK.
The Hunters use state of the art detection services employed by the likes of the MI5 to track down the contestants – this could be anything from watching their bank transactions, tracking their phones or even interrogating their family members.
Just half an hour after the fugitives go on the run officially, the professionals are given their names, ages, addresses and mug shots, as well as aerial footage of their escape.
The Hunters are allowed to access security camera footage, so long as they had proved to an independent adjudicator, Kevin O’Leary (former Head of Covert Operations for the Met Police), they had done enough detective work to justify it.
To win, the contestants must head to an extraction point, that will only become clear to them towards the end of the series.
