On my car a previous owner had the same issue.
One catch released and the other did not.
He used a Sawzall (don't recall what you brits call them) with a long metal cutting blade and cut the pin off.
There was a bit of collateral damage to the slam panel and minor scarring to the edge of the bonnet, but he did get it open!
