The hit TV series follows a number of volunteers as they try to go “off the grid” and turn fugitive in the UK in a bid to win £100,000.

Now the team at Shine TV, behind the popular Channel 4 show, are looking for men and women of all ages to try and evade capture from a team of expert trackers.

A spokesman for the production company 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 and make it to the pick-up point at the end of their time on the run.
