The celebrities taking part will be tasked with going on the run across mainland UK while an elite team of Hunters try to track them down.
They must evade capture for 14 days while the Hunters throw all their resources at catching them.
A handpicked team of police and military personnel, the Hunters are armed with the powers of the state, including CCTV and ANPR cameras, helicopters, drones, dogs, media campaigns and the latest in cyber forensic technology.
Pernice was on Strictly Come Dancing for eight years but left the UK in 2024 in the wake of an investigation into allegations about his behaviour on the BBC show made by former dance partner Amanda Abbington.
In October 2024, addressing whether he will return to Strictly after his absence that year, Pernice told ITV show Lorraine: “Who knows, never say never.”
With his dancing then taking him back to Italy, his home country, you might be wondering what Pernice’s net worth is.
