Channel 4's Hunted needs fugitives - do you have what it takes?

Have you ever wondered if you’ve got what it takes to disappear and go on the run, testing your wits to evade capture from some of the best hunters on the planet? If so, you have less than two weeks to apply for Channel 4 show Hunted.

The popular series sees contestants or 'fugitives' attempt to evade capture for up to 28 days to be in with a chance of winning a share of £100,000.

Those on the run are the quarry of the 'hunters', a team of specialists made up by police officers and intelligence personnel, who track the contestants using CCTV footage, call tracking technology, as well as the participants' personal information.

The fifth series of the programme is returning to Channel 4 in 2020, but it still needs contestants.

A spokesman for Shine TV who make the show said: "We’re looking for aspiring ‘fugitives’ of all ages, men and women, to take part and do whatever it takes to disappear in 21st century Britain.

"Perhaps you fancy your chances by going it alone, or maybe you’d like to escape with your family, friends or colleagues.

"A prize of £100,000 will be shared equally between the fugitives who successfully evade capture."

If you think you've got what it takes to evade capture and win a life changing amount of money in the process you can apply by visiting: www.huntedapplications.com

The closing date for applications is Sunday, February 23 and you must be 18-plus in order to apply to take part in the series.

The previous series of Hunted are available to stream on Channel 4's On Demand service.
