Hampshire's Kai Widdrington was involved in a daring plot on last night's (January 19) episode of Celebrity Hunted.

The Strictly Come Dancing professional is partnered up with fellow dancer Giovanni Pernice on the Channel 4 show, as they go on the run from a team of Hunters.

The premise of the show involves a group of celebrities becoming fugitives, hiding out across the mainland UK.

They have 14 days to successfully evade a team of Hunters who are trying to track them down.

"This year's Hunters are handpicked from the police and military, all armed with the powers of the state to hunt down the celebrities and stop them winning the show," the Radio Times adds.

Kai Widdrington and Giovanni Pernice involved in pizza delivery escape

Kai – who was born in Chandler’s Ford - and Giovanni have made it a habit to taunt the Hunters in the series so far and were involved in their most daring scheme yet in the most recent episode.

They decided to push their luck to deliver a pizza directly to the Hunters HQ in London.

Giovanni described it as "the biggest escape ever on Celebrity Hunted".

In a piece to camera, Kai added: "They're probably gonna look at us and go, 'What a pair of jokers,' but then they'll quickly realise that they're up against two of the most competitive people in the world."

Making use of their connections, the pair picked up a pizza from a restaurant, which Giovanni delivered to the Hunters HQ while wearing a motorcycle helmet.

Kai kept watch in a car nearby, as Giovanni hand-delivered it to reception, blowing a kiss to the security cameras.

Before the main Hunters team could get downstairs Giovanni legged it, with the pair making their escape in some Fiat 500s.

Afterwards, the pizza boxes were taken upstairs and contained a note which read: "A little present for you to wear to bed tonight so that you can not only dream of us, but wear us as well. Ciao for now, Gio and Kai. Happy hunting!"

This was accompanied by a t-shirt which the pair had both signed.

One of the Hunters, who was a bit exasperated, said: "I can't get over the cheek of these two, it's just beyond me."

Celebrity Hunted continues on Sunday, January 26 on Channel 4.
