TV personality and former Made in Chelsea star, Ollie Locke is one of the contestants in this year’s competition.

Speaking on why he joined the show, Locke said ‘’I always want to go on an adventure. I love adventures and challenges. It's a thing that a lot of people don't get the opportunity to do. And the fact that it's for Stand Up To Cancer makes it even better.’’

Opening up about his partner in the show, Gareth Locke’s weaknesses, Ollie shares ‘’if he doesn’t eat, he becomes a bit of a knob, I'll say that differently if he doesn't eat, he can be slightly more difficult. So, let's hope he's fed. I've got a banana and a Mars bar in my bag at all times.’’

Speaking about how he is with teamwork, Ollie said: ‘’I'm very good at teamwork, after spending 11 years on Made in Chelsea you're good at teamwork.’’

Actor Chizzy Akudolu will be paired up with Lisa Maffia in this new Celebrity Hunted season.

Sharing why she paired up with Lisa Maffia, Chizzy said: ‘’I'm a massive So Solid Crew fan. We seem to have the same energy and I just knew we would get on.

"The first time we spoke on FaceTime, I was surprised we'd never met before because we are so similar. Maybe that’s too much fabulosity in one pairing. And also, volume.’’

Talking about the skills she feels she could bring from her career as an actor, Chizzy said: ‘We're going to go for the element of disguise since there's so much CCTV, and if they track us down to a shop we're going to go with accents and characters. We definitely can't go in as ourselves.’’

Olympic sprinter Iwan Thomas will also be in the series this season. He added: ‘’that doesn't faze me. I've got my little sleeping bag and my little bivy tent that packs away. I've got stuff with me so I can slum it if I need to. I'm not afraid of slumming it at all.’’
