I was a fugitive on the run on Channel 4's Hunted. Usually you just do it with one other person, but for some reason I was doing it in a team of about five of us. Channel 4 had relocated us to Los Angeles rather than keeping it in the UK. We were running to this hotel to find a hiding spot when these Americans turned nasty towards us. They started pointing guns and shooting. We fled and found ourselves in what looked like a really rich estate with these big mansions. Stood outside one of them was Jack Black, who spotted us and invited us into his home. We explained that we were taking part in Hunted and needed somewhere to hide. He took us into his loft and closed it. After a while, we could hear the Hunters searching Jack Black's house. They found the hatch for the loft; Jack Black realized in horror that he hadn't closed it properly. As the Hunters climbed the ladder into the loft, I tried to scarper through this door in the loft that led to a bedroom, but the Hunters caught me. As the Hunters led us out, I asked Jack Black for an autograph and he scribbled his name on some pieces of paper and gave one to each one of us, including the Hunters. As the Hunters escorted us into their cars, we enthused that we couldn't believe we had met Jack Black. What were the chances that Jack Black just happened to be outside his house when we were looking for somewhere to hide? A few months later, after the episodes had broadcast, I joined the team of people I had been with for a Livestream on social media. We discussed our experience on the run, and what it was like to hide in a loft with Jack Black. One of the people in our team said he would do it again if he could hide in Simon Cowell's house.
