With some of the new series contestants already spotted "on the run", many are wondering when is Celebrity Hunted on in 2021?
Tense, action-packed and quite frankly hilarious - there's a reason audiences love a bit of Celebrity Hunted. And we're thrilled to hear series four is currently in production.
It's just another Channel 4 offering that has had viewers glued to their screens this autumn, with Married at First Sight and Jodie Comer's short-film Help drawing in huge numbers. And of course the return of Gogglebox 2021.
When is Celebrity Hunted on in 2021?
Channel 4 are yet to confirm a release date for the new series of Celebrity Hunted.
The hit show is however back for 2021. And several celebrity contestants having been already spotted out on the streets in Britain alongside a camera crew.
The return of Celebrity Hunted is no doubt a relief for both audiences and show bosses as production of the show halted in 2020 due to the pandemic.
A source told the Sun that filming was put on hold for safety and performance reasons."It’s a blow to Channel 4 but they have to put the safety of contestants first," they shared. "And with empty streets and half-desolate train and bus stations, they’d be sitting ducks for the hunters, which isn’t great TV."
Nevertheless, the same high energy and hilarious antics can be expected in series 4 as the stars attempt to evade capture for 14 days.
Celebrity Hunted 2021 line-up
As in previous series, stars taking part in Celebrity Hunted 2021 are doing so in association with #StandUpToCancer.
This year's line-up includes celebrities from the world of TV, comedy and sport. And we're especially excited to see two Olympians taking part:

Meanwhile Richard competed in the 2021 Tokyo Paralympics, earning a silver medal in the 200m relay.

It's good news for Made in Chelsea fans. Ollie and Gareth Locke have confirmed they are appearing in Celebrity Hunted 2021.
Ollie and Gareth who wed in December 2020, were spotted "on the run" around rural Cornwall.
And Hunted HQ shared a mugshot of the two fugitives with contact information should members of the public spot them.
