However, they made their biggest mistake when they decided to taunt the Hunters at their headquarters, becoming the first duo to be successfully captured.  <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"32\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">Episode four began with the Hunters rapidly closing in on Chris, while Toby managed to make a narrow escape. But his second chance was short-lived, with the Hunters eventually tracking Toby down in a residential area. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"36\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">Although they successfully dodged the Hunters for days, comedians Laura Smyth and Jen Brister were honest about their longing for their families. Jen had notably remained in touch with her partner Chloe and their twin boys, sending them letters to keep them updated on her every move. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"40\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">But it was eventually this correspondence that led to the pair\u2019s capture. In episode five, Hunters watched the duo leave their York hotel to buy ice cream and jumped on the opportunity to capture them. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"44\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">Stuart Douglas became the latest celebrity to be captured, after a leg injury slowed him down, while his sister Scarlette was able to escape. The duo had found refuge with a friend in Leeds when they were caught during a phone conversation plotting their escape towards Scotland. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"48\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">With Stuart captured, Scarlette was left alone to continue the run, and was last seen boarding a coach in North Yorkshire.

However, Tuesday\u2019s episode ended with the Hunters quickly catching up with them as they planned another escape. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"70\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">Meanwhile, Lucy and Brian Conley have been a standout pair this season, remaining almost untraceable despite publicly poking fun at the Hunters.
