Celebrity Hunted line-up confirmed - including Ollie Locke and The Vivienne

Celebrity Hunted is back for another Stand Up To Cancer special. Eight fresh famous faces will go on the run in an attempt to evade the crack team of hunters, including Ru Paul's Drag Race UK winner The Vivienne (AKA James Williams) and Made in Chelsea stars Ollie Locke and Gareth Locke.

Hunted is not for the faint of heart, as contestants have to try and stay off the radar for two weeks while evading professional trained Hunters.

Being a celebrity adds an extra challenge: When you're a recognisable face, how do you evade former police officers, intelligence, and army personnel who are hot on your tail?

Channel 4 confirmed the latest cast on October 1, which also includes: Olympian Iwan Thomas and Paralympian Richard Whitehead, Too Hot to Handle 's Chloe Veitch, actress Chizzy Akudolu and musician Lisa Maffia.

The Vivienne is teaming up with Chloe Veitch, who also appeared on The Circle, while Ollie Locke is joining forces with his husband, Gareth Locke. Richard Whitehead, who has two Paralympic gold medals, is partnered with former Team GB sprinter Iwan Thomas. Last but not least are Chizzy, who played Mo Effanga for five years on Holby City and waltzed through Strictly Come Dancing in 2017, and UK Garage legend and former So Solid Crew member Lisa Maffia.

Speaking about the series return, Ian Dunkley, commissioning editor for factual entertainment at Channel 4, said: "We are pleased to be bringing back the edge-of-your-seat game of cat and mouse with a confident batch of VIPs supporting the Stand Up To Cancer campaign.

The forthcoming run will see both the Fugitives and the Hunters come up against new challenges in a Britain that has drastically changed since 2019's series. We're looking forward to seeing who will emerge as victors."

Who has previously won Celebrity Hunted ?

The charity special usually hits our screens annually but skipped last year for obvious reasons. In 2019, a diverse cast - featuring Boris Johnson's dad and former Made in Chelsea star Toff - went on the run, but chefs Aldo Zilli, Jean-Christophe Novelli and Gavin Henson came out on top.

When is the fourth Series of Celebrity Hunted hitting our screens?

Channel 4 haven't confirmed the release date yet, but it will be sometime in 2022, at which point you'll be able to stream all the episodes on All 4.
