The Sun can reveal the pair ended up at a co-star's birthday party while filming the Channel 4 series.
A source said: 'Carlos and Amy were on the run but took a huge risk and turned up to Craig Revel Horwood's birthday party with cameras in tow - it was complete chaos as they were dodging pics and begging people not to post them!
"The hunters were on their trail the whole time - nobody can believe they got away with it.'
Amy and Carlos are up against Love Island hunks Chris Taylor and Toby Aromolaran, who'll also form a pair.
Former EastEnders star Brian Conley and his daughter Lucy, who's also an entertainer, join the line up.
Scarlette Douglas and her brother Stuart – hosts of Channel 4's Worst House On The Street – have also been announced as contestants.
Former Royal Marine and Paralympian JJ will be partnered with Sophie Morgan, which will be a Celebrity Hunted first as the presenter is a wheelchair user.
Comedians Laura Smyth and Jen Brister complete this year's line-up.
Contestants attempt to evade detection while being tracked by an elite team comprised of the world's best hunters.
Among them are serving and ex-police officers, alongside some of the UK's top cyber experts.
Celebrity Hunted viewers blast show as a 'complete set-up'
In addition, they work alongside ex-military and intelligence services personnel.
The most recent series of Celebrity Hunted saw Duncan James and Christine McGuinness triumph.
The Blue singer and former model teamed up to successfully evade capture.
Meanwhile, it was confirmed earlier this year that the show's civilian version would return for another outing.
Leon Wilson, CEO Shine TV & Zeppotron, said at the time: "We're thrilled to be back into production on two new series of Hunted in 2025 for Channel 4.
"The series was co-developed by our brilliant new Director of Programmes, Matt Bennett, who I'm delighted to say will once again be overseeing the show.
"Viewers are also in for a treat with the Celebrity version, with an ace cast of new celeb fugitives raring to go on run."
Celebrity Hunted airs on Channel 4.

Jay Blades 'just weeks away from starring in new reality TV show' before arrest
Former BBC Repair Shop host Jay Blades is said to have signed up to a brand new ITV reality show but was dropped when news of his arrest emerged weeks before filming started Axed BBC star Jay Blades was reportedly set to appear on a brand new reality TV show before his arrest came to light. The former Repair Shop host pleaded not guilty following being charged with engaging in controlling or coercive behaviour towards his estranged wife last year. Blades, who rose to fame on the hit BBC show, was arrested on May 3. It was the same day his wife Lisa Zbozen publicly announced her split from the presenter after 18 months of marriage. He was said to have signed up to new ITV show Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters before his arrest. However, the show was reportedly thrown into chaos after allegations emerged with bosses taking swift action to remove Blades. 'Attracting a popular BBC star to be in the new ITV series was a big win for bosses," a source told the Sun. 'But as soon as Jay Blades was arrested in March 2024, they knew they had to make a quick decision about the future of the show. 'He was given the boot. Producers got lucky as they hadn't started filming or doing any promotion yet so were able to replace him with someone else." They added travel plans had been put in place for those taking part, so his exit caused "upset and disruption" behind the scenes. Blades became a household name when he began hosting The Repair Shop in 2017 when the show first aired on BBC Two. In October 2022 the dad-of-three was the lead presenter for a special edition of the BBC series featuring the newly crowned King Charles. He then worked on a 15-part restoration series with Only Fools and Horses star Sir David Jason. David and Jay's Touring Toolshed aired at the start of last year and was a hit with viewers. However, recent episodes were pulled from the BBC schedule and catch-up programmes. Blades was due to head to the Bahamas alongside the likes of Sir Lenny Henry and Call the Midwife 's Helen George to overcome their fear of sharks in the ground-breaking new show premiering this week. Ross Noble, Countdown's Rachel Riley, McFly's Dougie Poynter, Amandaland's Lucy Punch and TV presenter Ade Adepitan also took part in the series that marks 50 years since the release of iconic film Jaws. They were taught to dive by an instructor with missing limbs and challenged to confront their greatest fear and flown to the island on Bimini in the Bahamas, home to around 10 different species of shark. Weeks after the series was announced, Blades was arrested and charged. He appeared at Worcester Crown Court in October where he spoke to confirm his identity and entered his not guilty plea. The trial begins on August 26 and is expected to last two weeks. The Mirror has contacted ITV for comment.

BBC admit new series of MasterChef is still hanging in the balance after Gregg Wallace axe and apologise to contestants
THE BBC have admitted that the new series of MasterChef is still hanging in the balance, after Gregg Wallace was axed, and apologised to the show contestants. The MasterChef star, 60, who was diagnosed as autistic midway through the investigation into complaints against him, was sacked after the BBC concluded he is unable to change his ways. 4 The BBC have admitted that the new series of MasterChef is still hanging in the balance, after Gregg Wallace was axed, and apologised to the show contestants Credit: BBC 4 Gregg presented the show alongside John Torode Credit: BBC 4 The statement acknowledged that this might come as "disappointing" news. Credit: BBC Now the findings of a long investigation into 30 historic complaints were unveiled today in a report. A total of 45 out of the 83 allegations made against Gregg during his time on the show were substantiated, including one allegation of "unwelcome physical contact". The corporation said the possibility of Gregg returning to MasterChef was "untenable". And they also issued a statement on the future of the new series of MasterChef, saying that, at this time, 'we are not going to make a final decision on the broadcast of the series that was filmed last year.' Read More on Gregg Wallace BBC AXE BBC will 'NEVER work with Gregg Wallace again' as report reveals shock allegations The statement acknowledged that this might come as "disappointing" news. The full statement read: 'We welcome the publication of the findings by Lewis Silkin, following the investigation into the conduct of Gregg Wallace. In light of these findings, Banijay UK and the BBC have agreed Mr Wallace's return to MasterChef is untenable. The BBC has ' informed Mr Wallace we have no plans to work with him in future. 'The investigation details a substantial number of allegations of inappropriate conduct spanning 19 years. This behaviour falls below the values of the BBC and the expectations we have for anyone who works with or for us. 'Although the full extent of these issues were not known at the relevant time, opportunities were missed to address this behaviour – both by the production companies running MasterChef and the BBC. We accept more could and should have been done sooner. 'We want to thank all those who took part in the investigation, including those who first raised concerns directly with the BBC in November last year. We apologise to everyone who has been impacted by Mr Wallace's behaviour. Grace Dent replaces Gregg Wallace on MasterChef after he stepped back amid 'grope' probe 'Lewis Silkin's findings include two further allegations which were upheld, relating to other individuals. The BBC takes these findings very seriously and we have asked Banijay UK to take action to address these issues, which is underway. This will be completed as a priority. 'The BBC will not be commenting further at this stage, but we are clear we expect the highest standards of respect at work to be upheld on the production. 'At this stage we are not going to make a final decision on the broadcast of the series that was filmed last year. We know this is disappointing for fans of the show and those who took part and at the appropriate time Banijay UK will consult further with the amateur contestants. 'In April the BBC published a detailed response to an independent review of workplace culture, which reinforces expectations around behaviour and that we will act more decisively when standards are not met. This also requires all TV production partners to align with the Creative Industries Independent Standards Authority (CIISA) standards. MasterChef facts MASTERCHEF has been a staple BBC series for years - but what are the key details? MasterChef launched on BBC One back in 1990 It ran until 2001, then was revived in 2005 as MasterChef Goes Large John Torode joined the revamped series in 2005, where he teamed up with Gregg Wallace as hosts Controversial moments? In March 2018, Gregg refused to judge Zaleha Kadir Olpin's stewed chicken rendang dish as he claimed it was 'not crispy enough and could not be eaten.' 'We want to reaffirm, there is no place for the abuse of power, unacceptable behaviour or language at the BBC, or shows made for the BBC.' Grace Dent is set to be announced as the replacement for Gregg on MasterChef UK, The Sun on Sunday revealed. The food critic, 51, is understood to start filming for MasterChef UK alongside chef John Torode, 59, at the end of the summer. A source said: 'Grace is a natural fit for the show as she is also hosting Celebrity MasterChef alongside John. 'Grace loves to support up-and-coming talent in the industry and loves the format of the show. 'Filming is expected to start at the end of the summer through December. 'They are also filming at new studios in Birmingham so it will be a fresh start all round.' Alongside her successful journalism career as food critic Grace has been doing more mainstream TV, and starred on I'm A Celeb in 2023. She walked from the jungle after nine days, citing 'medical grounds.'

Wallace's BBC return ‘untenable' after complaints upheld
Another week, another bit of bad news for ex-Beeb star Gregg Wallace. A report into the former MasterChef presenter has substantiated a whopping 45 complaints against the TV personality – making any return to the public service broadcaster 'untenable'. A seven-month inquiry by legal firm Lewis Silkin was carried out on behalf of the programme's production company. Speaking to 78 witnesses, it probed a staggering 83 complaints against the star – and upheld more than half. Crikey. The ex-MasterChef presenter faced more than 14 hours of interviews with the investigating team. Almost all of the allegations related to incidents occurring between 2005 and 2018, with most of these concerning inappropriate sexual language and humour. Of the incidents that have been substantiated, just one took place after 2018 – which is when Wallace was spoken to about his behaviour by BBC chiefs. Other complaints that were upheld included allegations of inappropriate language and one reported instance of unwanted physical contact. Good heavens! Wallace received more media attention last week after he claimed that his neurodiversity diagnosis of autism meant he is unable to wear underwear. He took to Instagram last Tuesday to insist: My neurodiversity, now formally diagnosed as autism, was suspected and discussed by colleagues across countless seasons of MasterChef. Yet nothing was done to investigate my disability or protect me from what I now realise was a dangerous environment for over 20 years. More than that, as reported by the Telegraph last week, the former foodie even plans to sue the Beeb and the creators of MasterChef for discrimination on the grounds of his autism, after the Corporation sacked him from his role as host of the cooking competition. While charities and disabled peoples' groups hit back at Wallace over his claim – with Neurodiversity in Business boss Dan Harris fuming 'autism is not a free pass for bad behaviour' – the Lewis Silkin report found the diagnosis to be 'highly relevant' in the context of its findings. How very interesting… And Wallace wasn't the only BBC staffer in the firing line – two allegations made about other MasterChef workers were also substantiated. The show's production company was slammed for not providing enough training or escalation procedures to manage complaints before 2016, with incidents often handled informally, while it was noted that the BBC had not been in possession of centrally-held information. The chief of production company Banijay UK, Patrick Holland, apologised to anyone who had been affected by Wallace's actions – which, he added, 'make Gregg Wallace's return to MasterChef untenable' – while the Beeb insists it has told Wallace he cannot return to the company. As ever, the Beeb appears more adept at making news headlines than breaking them…
