got paired up with one of my best mates- Mm Christine McGuinness and Christine and me um had done a show before- Yeah um called Strictly The Full Monty where we got to meet each other by taking our clothes off completely naked- Oh for Stand Up to Cancer So literally the first time I met Christine- Yeah we were both completely stark bollock naked Yeah And then they asked us if we'd like to do Hunted together Yeah So I was like "Great." So me and Christine we evaded the hunters um for the whole 2 weeks and they never caught us And we got to the very end and we won our series together So- Did you Yeah we won it so I was so chuffed Oh excellent Um and it was such It Do you know it was really scary 'cause they really come for you So what these are real people that are hunting you down The police Yeah The police They're like police or ex-military and they are the hunters Wow And you have to go on the run for 2 weeks and you cannot get caught I just saw an ad for that show here And I and I thought that was such an interesting show It's so good and it's scary because when they come for you you And and they're on you it's like oh my God it was horrible Really And we nearly got caught like a few times We got caught so close uh to getting actually caught and I don't I still don't understand how we managed to get away but we did and we won it so I mean Um we just Uh I think our plan was everyone said "What was your game plan?" And me and Christine were like "Well each day if you get up and you decide where you're gonna go right?" Like they there's a way of them kind of tracking you if you make a plan So our attitude was "Well if we don't actually know where we're going how are they gonna know where we're going?" Right So we were like "If we just completely just randomly just go anywhere," so we would flag down a lot of uh cars We'd hitchhike and we'd just like s- ask people to stop and we're like "Where are you headed?" But how can they film you if you're just stopping random people Um so we were just like "Where are you going?" And they're like "We're going to Salisbury." We're just like "Great we're going to Salisbury." So then the the- So where- We we were just doing that the whole time- Oh right zigzagging So where was the destination that you had to get to So for the first kind of like s- well d- one and a half weeks you have to just basically go around all the UK and every day you've gotta move You've gotta you can't stay in the same place for the same time You've gotta literally move every every single day But then if you if you get quite far down as we do you get an extraction point So you have to go somewhere to get the information for the extraction point and then our extraction point was in uh it was in Devon Mm So we knew we had to get down to Devon Yeah And uh yeah we managed to get down there and we yeah we just we just managed to get away and not and not get caught
