Strictly pros to soap stars, Celebrity Hunted line-up revealed - how to watch

Celebrity Hunted is returning to our screens soon and the lineup has been revealed today (December 13).

The Grierson Award-winning and BAFTA-nominated factual entertainment thriller is coming back to Channel 4 in aid of Stand Up To Cancer.

From Strictly Come Dancing professional dancers to EastEnders and Coronation Street actresses, this new series will see the celebrities go on the run.

The celebrities are tasked with going on the run across mainland UK while an elite team of Hunters try to track them down.

They must evade capture for 14 days while the Hunters throw all their resources at catching them.

A handpicked team of police and military personnel, the Hunters are armed with the powers of the state, including CCTV and ANPR cameras, helicopters, drones, dogs, media campaigns and the latest in cyber forensic technology. Can these celebrity fugitives escape the glare of the spotlight and remain under the radar?

Here's what we know about the new series, including the full lineup and how to watch it.

If you want to see how the celebrities do, you can tune into to Channel 4 a few days after the New Year celebrations.

The Shine TV (part of Banijay UK) produced series is confirmed to broadcast on January 5 at 9pm.

Matt Bennett, Director of Programmes for Shine TV, said: "There's nothing more delicious than watching our much-loved celebrities turn fugitive and go on the run as they attempt to escape the hunters, all in aid of the excellent charity Stand Up to Cancer.

"This year we have a stellar lineup who have truly kept the hunters on their toes. With dramatic escapes to daring captures, this season of Celebrity Hunted will keep the Channel 4 viewer on the edge of their sofas from one programme to the next. Jason Bourne would be proud of them all!"

Tom Hutchings, Executive Producer for Shine TV, added: "This is hands down the most exhilarating series of Celebrity Hunted yet. When a helicopter chases a train through the Norfolk countryside and 12 celebrities escape, what will they do?

"Expect trips to Albert Square and Blue concerts; celebrities begging for money and clothes; failed camping attempts and blagged moments of luxury.... and a team of 30 hunters stopping at nothing to catch them. No celebrities were harmed in the making of this programme, only a few bruised egos."
