Celebrity Hunted has returned to Channel 4 with a new series, and viewers were quick to share their excitement. The show, which features celebrities trying to evade a team of specialists, last aired in early 2025, making its comeback a welcome one for fans.
New line-up and cause
The latest series supports Stand Up To Cancer and includes a mix of stars: Strictly dancers Amy Dowden and Carlos Gu, EastEnders actor Brian Conley with his daughter Lucy, and TV personalities Scarlette and Stuart Douglas. Love Islanders Chris Taylor and Toby Aromolaran, presenters and disability advocates JJ Chalmers and Sophie Morgan, and comedians Jen Brister and Laura Smyth are also taking part, all attempting to stay hidden from Ray Howard and his team.
Viewer reactions
On X (formerly Twitter), fans expressed delight at the show's return, though many asked about a civilian series of Hunted. One viewer wrote: "Great to have a new series of #CelebrityHunted! It's a show that even after 11 years on air (*civilian & celeb series*) it's always a must watch. It seems like the civilian series is now aired every 16/22 months. @Channel4 any news about a 2027 civilian series? #Hunted."
Channel 4 responded: "We are thrilled to welcome #CelebrityHunted back for another year on #Channel4 No news of a civilian Hunted but this year's Celeb Hunted is guaranteed to be an exciting watch!"
Another fan tweeted: "So happy #CelebrityHunted is back @SU2CUK @Channel4 @4Viewers," to which Channel 4 replied: "Hi Dawn! We are thrilled to welcome #CelebrityHunted back to #Channel4 for another year. It's guaranteed to be an exciting one!"
A third viewer said: "Yessss my fave show #Hunted is back on @Channel4 for #SU2C c'mon celebs, please beat @RayHoward01 & his hunters!" Channel 4 answered: "Hi Zoe! Our fav #CelebrityHunted is back for another year on #Channel4, and we couldn't be more thrilled!"
