Rob gave us some mad stats on just how many people try to make it on the show each year, and with just one spot available to be taken by two guys, the pair beat absolutely all the odds by being cast. He told us: ‘I think 50,000 people apply, and 30,000 of them – I’m pretty sure my numbers correct – applied for the one, two boys spot. ‘Normally, it’...
The audition process was pretty lengthy, asking questions about how they’d plan a potential fugitive situation (as you do), but the boys decided to completely go for it and have a laugh – which clearly paid off. Rob commented: ‘The [audition] video itself, Channel 4 said it’s the best one they’ve ever received, which is pretty mad considering how m...
Fans of the show will be well-accustomed to the forensic strategies of team Hunters in trying to track down the fugitives, using powers of the state such as ANPR, CCTV and call tracing. But that starts way before the contestants are let out into the wildness, as Rob revealed the lengths the Hunters will go to, even weeks prior: ‘[Production] said t...
‘At the start of the show, you get put into a hotel. For two days you do those cool, screen shots where you see the smoke coming across and all that stuff. We were in Basingstoke and you’re not allowed to chat to the other fugitives. ‘You meet them, but you’re not allowed to chat physically. ‘Otherwise, for example, if [fellow winners] Dan [Ryder] ...
In previous years, contestants were allowed to take rucksacks out into the wild with them, but this was not the case in Rob’s series. They were armed only with a book full of useful contacts each, with most preparations done face to face. ‘You were allowed one book with you. That was it. We had a book each with some important contact details and th...
Unless someone is caught, the contestants have no clue regarding the fate of their competitors. Rob said of the uncertainty: ‘It’s incredibly difficult, but you genuinely have no idea really on how the others are doing. Because, you don’t know if you’re winning, you physically don’t know. ‘You can think you’re doing well, and then the next day you ...
Ben and Rob came up with a genius way to communicate which the Hunters were unable to access – which had never been used on the show before – using none other than Xbox gaming chat. Rob explained: ‘We did our research into the game chat and we knew about the voice over internet protocol, which is called Voip. ‘The Hunters mentioned on the show, the...
Without even realising, many of the contestants opt naturally for the middle of England, to give them the best chance of getting to the mystery access points. But the Hunters are always about 10 steps ahead, with the decision to head to theShropshire town nearly proving costly for the pair, where they narrowly missed being captured. Seconds after f...
Rob explained how all fugitives were taught first aid beforehand, in case they got themselves into any trouble, as well as having comprehensive psychological support. ’You have to do a psychology test because it’s not for everyone. I’ll be honest, it’s mentally the hardest thing you’ll ever do, to constantly feel like you’re being chased. One decis...
After winning the show, Rob took his old job back at Morrisons but revealed he did spend a few weeks being recognised by fans. ‘People do come up to you,’ he said. ‘But I just got my job back at Morrisons to keep myself busy during Covid the day after, and this couple came in and she just screamed, “you’re from Hunted?” [I thought] “Whoa, that was ...
