An insider said: 'Chris has done his fair share of reality shows over the years but Celebrity Hunted might be the toughest one he has done yet.
"It's no mean feat to stay off grid and avoid being captured, and it makes the stress of the Love Island villa recouplings look like a walk in the park.
"Chris really wanted to do it as it's unlike anything he has done before and he's always up for a new challenge.'
The last series of Celebrity Hunted was won by Christine McGuinness and Duncan James, raising money for Stand Up To Cancer.
Chris competed in Dancing on Ice this year and became the fourth celebrity to be eliminated.
The Leicester lad rose to fame in season five of the dating show and starred in the 2024 Love Island All Stars series.
The former business development manager, who now works as an influencer, dated Maura Higgins in March 2021, but split six months later.
As well as appearing on Love Island twice, Chris has also been on Celebs Go Dating.
He did look set to turn his back on reality TV briefly when he landed a small part in the hit Barbie film.
The star previously told Closer magazine about his plans for the future, saying: 'I want to do more acting and I have an acting coach and I am having lessons.
'I doubt I'd get the call, but if there's a Ken spin-off or a Barbie 2, I would well be up for it.'
