Celebrity Hunted for Stand Up to Cancer was back tonight (Tuesday, April 25), airing a disappointing twist for Strictly Come Dancing professional Katya Jones. She and Olympic snowboarder Aimee Fuller were both captured.

With just six of the ten celebrities remaining, Celebrity Hunted got off to an interesting start this episode as Katya and Aimee tried to enlist the help of Katya's former Strictly partner Ed Balls.

After pleading ignorance when a team of Hunters were sent to the politician's house, Ed later ignored Katya's attempts to contact him, knowing that the Hunters would be listening in.

Despite Ed not answering the phone, Hunters were able to triangulate the signal, which led them directly to the wooded area where Aimee and Katya had decided to hide out.

During this time, Katya became emotional as she opened up about her losing streak on Strictly, saying: "It hurts, because you feel like you've either let people down or you've not done good enough, so I'm not actually scared of losing."

As the Hunters were scouting the wooded area by car, they quickly spotted Katya and Aimee. They then pursued the pair on foot and subsequently captured them both.

"I'm gutted. As a former athlete, the ultimate win is victory," Aimee said after being caught.

"We made a very bold move by exposing ourselves," said Katya. "I did not want this experience to finish. I'm very proud of what we've done together."

Meanwhile, broadcaster Bobby Seagull and YouTube star Saffron Barker struggled to stay incognito as fans of the YouTube celebrity recognised her everywhere they went.

Hunters tracked the friends down to a Nando's in Milton Keynes and a Premier Inn in Luton, where they narrowly avoided being captured.

Bobby and Saffron eventually decided to part ways to further their chances of evading the hunters.

Elsewhere, Nik and Eva Speakman spent the night in former Coronation Street star Brian Capron's Brighton garden.
