Here’s what you need to know.

Which celebrities are taking part in Celebrity Hunted 2022?

There are four celebrity pairs taking part in this year’s series for Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C).

These are:

The Vivienne and Chloe Veitch

Drag Race star The Vivienne is taking part alongside Too Hot To Handle reality star Chloe Veitch.

The Vivienne a said: "Being a drag queen and doing all these different personas on stage, I’m definitely a master of disguise. I’m able to make money on the road as well. We could do pop up drag shows, sing for our supper, but in disguise."

Speaking about The Vivienne, Chloe said: "I absolutely adore her. We’re both absolutely bonkers, and I hope we can make people laugh whilst helping to raise some money for Stand Up To Cancer."

Iwan Thomas and Richard Whitehead

Olympian silver medallist Iwan and two-time Paralympic gold medallist Richard are taking part in this year’s series, hoping to prove their endurance during the show.

Speaking about working with Richard, Iwan told Channel 4: "Physically and mentally he’s very strong. He’s got some really good leadership qualities. We should hopefully do quite well together."

Ollie and Gareth Locke-Locke

Made in Chelsea Star Ollie Locke-Locke and his husband Gareth Locke-Locke, who also appears on the reality show, are competing together in this year’s Celebrity Hunted.

Ollie said: "There haven’t been very many married couples and we’re actually calling this our honeymoon because we haven’t had a honeymoon yet. So, this is our official honeymoon. Hopefully we’re still together at the end."

He added: "Being recognisable around Britain helps because I think we might be able to call on some lovely people that might be able to help us."

Chizzy Akudolu and Lisa Maffia

Actress Chizzy is paired up with So Solid Crew’s Lisa, and Chizzy has spoken about how much she admires her Celebrity Hunted partner.

She said: "I’m a massive So Solid Crew fan. We seem to have the same energy and I just knew we would get on. The first time we spoke on FaceTime, I was surprised we’d never met before because we are so similar. Maybe that’s too much fabulosity in one pairing. And also, volume."

What do the contestants have to do?

The eight famous faces will turn fugitive and attempt to evade capture from an elite team of 30 hunters, which will be led by Hunted’s first female chief, Cleveland Police Assistant Chief Constable Lisa Theaker.

The celebrities will attempt to stay off the radar and remain at large for two weeks as the team of hunters, which are a handpicked team of police, intelligence and military personnel armed with the powers of the state, attempt to track them down.
