Which celebs have been caught?
Episode one:
No celebs were caught.
Although Brian Conley and his daughter Lucy were cornered by the Hunters during the final stages of episode one, the episode ended on a cliff-hanger, with the pair hiding out in a train toilet.
Episode two:
No celebs were caught.
Episode two kicked off with the Hunters thinking they had Brian and Lucy Conley cornered on a train, but it turns out they were actually on a different train, meaning the pair were able to get away.
It was also a very close call for Scarlette and Stuart Douglas, who bravely chose to appear on a live episode of Channel 4's Sunday Brunch, directly bringing the Hunters towards them. As the siblings left the studio and got into a black cab, the Hunters attempted to open the door of the moving car, but taxi driver Reza sped away.
Amy Dowden and Carlos Gu chose to attend the lavish party of close friend Craig Revel Horwood, and after the Hunters intercepted a call between Craig and Amy's husband Ben, they quickly showed up to his home. Luckily for Amy and Carlos, the pair were able to escape out the back, with Ben waiting to pick them up.
The second episode ended on another cliffhanger, this time with comedians Laura Smyth and Jen Brister. After the pair were at a comedy festival for a performance, the Hunters closed in, with the ep ending with a tense chase!
Episode three:
No celebs were caught.
The third episode started with the Hunters having eyes on on Laura and Jen, but the girls quickly headed back into their backstage tent. Knowing they were surrounded, the pair put on Jen masks and headed back out into the crowd, who were also in on the escape plan, wearing their own Jen masks.
The plan nearly didn't work for Laura, who was chased to a car by the Hunters, but she was able to get away, leaving Jen behind. Jen managed to escape, with Laura's escape car picking her up and allowing the girls to get out of reach.
The Hunters also came close to JJ Chalmers and Sophie Morgan when they got on board HMS Victory in Portsmouth, but thanks to previous winner Iwan Thomas, who provided a lift, the pair managed to escape.
Just like the first two episodes, episode three once again ended on an almighty cliffhanger... with the Hunters on the toes of Chris Taylor and Toby Aromolaran.
Episode four:
Chris Taylor - The fourth episode kicked off with Love Island star Chris Hughes being caught by the Hunters. However, Toby Aromolaran was able to get away!
Toby Aromolaran - It didn't last too long for Toby though, after the Hunters were able to track his getaway car and later corner him, following a foot chase.
The Hunters were also close to tracking down Amy Dowden and Carlos Gu at a Holiday Inn hotel, after the pair made a visit to Good Hope Hospital in Birmingham to top up Amy's medication. However, the pair were able to escpare in a taxi just before the Hunters arrived.
With the help of their comedy contact Lee Martin, comedians Laura Smyth and Jen Brister were able to spend a luxury night in a hotel in York, but the Hunters were able to track them on CCTV, leaving episode four on another cliff-hanger.
Episode five:
Laura Smyth and Jen Brister
Episode five started with the Hunters watching comedians Laura Smyth and Jen Brister leave their hotel in York, buying an ice cream and heading into the park. Surrounding the girls and splitting the four Hunters to cover the four exits of the park, the Hunters pounced, leaving the girls with no escape.
JJ Chalmers and Sophie Morgan appeared on BBC show Morning Live in Manchester for Disability Pride Awareness Month, and it didn't take the Hunters long to notice. With all units being sent to Manchester, JJ and Sophie were able to exit the building in a car via an underground car park, whilst also using a clever decoy at the front door.
The Hunters also tracked down Brian Conley and his daughter Lucy to Denham, where Lucy was performing to residents of a care home. Despite discovering their exact location, Brian and Lucy were able to escape!
Attention then turned to siblings Scarlette and Stuart Douglas, who knocked on a random couple's house to bed down for the night, before travelling to Leeds to meet one of Stuart's contacts, Terry George.
Associate Terry asked the pair to help promote a new pride event for his bar, and despite them being dressed up, it attracted a lot of unwanted attention, leading the Hunters straight to them.
The episode ended on a cliffhanger, leading many to think the siblings will be caught next!
Episode six:
Stuart Douglas - Despite Stuart and Scarlette being able to escape the show bar, the Hunters intercepted a call on associate Terry's phone. Luckily for Stuart and Scarlette, the pair were able to get into a hotel room to hide for the night.
After devising a plan overnight, the Hunters had the hotel surrounded and pounced on Stuart and Scarlette as they were exiting the hotel. Although Scarlette was able to get away thanks to the help of a friendly chap in the gym, Stuart was caught.
Elsewhere in episode seven, the Hunters tracked JJ Chalmers and Sophie Morgan to Scotland, where the pair were staying with the family of JJ's old school friend and fellow TV presenter Danni Menzies.
JJ borrowed a car from Danni's dad, where they travelled to Glasgow to meet another one of JJ's friends, Graeme McKinley. After dumping the car at his house and switching to Graeme's car, the pair fled south to Newcastle, with a plan to meet Sophie's friend Dan.
Episode six ended with the Hunters having eyes on JJ and Sophie's vehicle!
