The popular TV show Hunted is looking for people in Kent to take part in its new series on Channel 4.

Producers are keen to hear from people in the county and are looking for both men and women of all ages to try and evade capture of a team of specialist trackers including police officer Marc Cananur who has become a regular part of the show.

His regular day job is working as a detective sergeant for Kent Police.

As in previous series, the show follows a number of volunteers as they try to go off-grid and become a fugitive in the country.

David Rhodes, casting assistant producer for Shine TV which makes the programme said: "We are looking for people from a variety of backgrounds and professions who think they have what it takes to disappear in 21st century Britain.

"They could be going it alone or with friends, family or colleagues."

A prize of £100,000 will be shared equally between the fugitives who successfully evade capture like it was when a father and son from Dover were among four men who won the series last year.

Millions of people watched Bob and Alex Ayling succeed in evading capture by the elite team and the pair shared the £100,000 prize with the other two people who won.

The dad and son were not the only people from Kent who have competed in the show.

Steph and Dom Parker, who were one time Sandwich residents and who rose to fame on Gogglebox due to their witty comments and love of a drink, appeared on the celebrity version of Hunted.

They also took part in another Channel 4 programme earlier this week when the celebrity couple's fight to get a marijuana based drug to treat their son's deadly epileptic seizures was televised.

Mr Rhodes added: "We will cover reasonable pre-agreed loss of earnings for everyone who participates.

The closing date for applications is Monday, February 11 and people must be over the age of 18 to take part in the series.
