Three days into their escape, and the celebrities on “Celebrity Hunted” are already feeling the pressure. With new lead hunter, ex-cop Ray Howard, hot on their trail, the fugitives are scattered and starting to make some questionable choices. Splitting up despite a scheduled joint appearance in London? Not exactly a textbook evasion tactic.
Several other celebrity pairs are also making their way to London, plotting media appearances that could either be a masterstroke or their downfall. The risk is palpable: public exposure in exchange for a chance to sway public opinion. Meanwhile, in Manchester, the approaches to hiding couldn’t be more different: think champagne wishes and caviar dreams versus a decidedly more airborne escape plan.
From a botched restaurant reservation that might give away one couple’s location to a potential capture linked to a Somerset dog hotel, this episode is packed with enough near-misses and high-stakes gambles to keep even the most jaded viewer entertained. It’s the mix of personalities – trictly dancers Giovanni Pernice and Kai Widdrington. From Loose Women, Denise Welsh and her husband Lincoln Townley. Singer Duncan James and model Christine McGuiness. Podcasters David Whitely and Zeze Millz. Soap stars Danielle Harold and Kimberly Hart-Simpson. And news anchors Simon McCoy and Lucrezia Millarini – that really makes “Celebrity Hunted” a guilty pleasure.
Tune in Sunday 12 January at 9 PM on Channel 4 to see who cracks under pressure and who manages to stay one step ahead.
