This year’s athletic ‘Celebrity Hunted 2023’ line-up includes ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ pro Katya Jones.
The 33-year-old dancer is joining nine other celebs including 31-year-old former Olympic snowboarder Aimee Fuller on the Channel 4 show, which will see them try and outrun a team of ex-police and intelligence officers led by Chief Lisa Theaker.
Life coaches and therapists Nik and Eva Speakman, aged 61 and 53 respectively, are also part of this year’s contest, along with ‘Coronation Street’ actress Nicola Thorp, 34, and her actor partner Nikesh Patel, 38, as well as comics Ed Gamble, 37, and 38-year-old James Acaster.
YouTuber and former ‘Strictly’ star Saffron Barker, 22, and broadcaster Bobby Seagull, 39, are also part of the line-up, which was revealed on Friday (10.03.23), with the show due to air at the end of March as part of the ‘Stand up to Cancer’ campaign.

“Expect the unexpected as our fugitives enlist the help of their celebrity friends, hide out in the most daring locations and get chased around the UK by our fearless team of Hunters, headed up by Chief Lisa Theaker.”
