CELEBRITY Hunted star Nicola Thorp was branded the ‘worst ever’ contestant after a huge blunder that saw her get caught in TWO days.
The 34-year-old was one of 10 famous faces taking part in this year's series of the Channel 4 show.
Nicola, who played Nicola Rubinstein on Coronation Street from 2017 to 2019, was supposed to take part with her fiance Nikesh Patel, but had to do it alone after he tested positive for Covid.
Things got of to a good start for the journalist and she ended up reuniting with the Starstruck actor later on.
But then just 48 hours in, they were caught by the Hunters.
Nicola turned up to work to do her TalkTV show, which revealed her location to those trying to find her.

Meanwhile others blasted the show as a "complete set-up" and that it is "staged" after they saw two separate pairs appear to help each other out.
This Morning regulars Nik and Eva Speakman appeared to let comedians James Acaster and Ed Gamble use their Rochdale mansion as a place to stay in order to escape the watchful eye of the hunters.
The pair then realised that the Hunters could possibly be watching them through CCTV, so they left.
But how it was all organised left a lot of viewers scratching their heads.
Writing online, one furious fan said: "This is becoming predictable, staged and thoroughly stupid now.
"We're not idiots, so if you're viewing figures/donations are down it's your own fault. Bye."
Another added: "#celebrityhunted is even more scripted than the fake, regular Hunted."
