The Fortune Hotel is set to pick-up from last week’s dramatic cliff-hanger in just a matter of hours. Viewers have faced an agonising wait to see which pair will leave next after a savage twist.
The introduction of a second early check-out card made it seem as if there would be a double departure at the end of episode 4 on Thursday (August 14). Both Fred and Min as well as Allan and Jacob ended the Night Cap with the cards.
However, host Stephen Mangan had another twist up his sleeves. Only one of the pairs would be going home and the remaining players would vote for which to send packing.
The Fortune Hotel ended on that cliff-hanger last week and it will finally be resolved tonight (August 20). The show will be on ITV1/ STV at 9pm today and tomorrow (August 21).
The first season is available on demand via ITVX/ STV Player and the new episodes will be added after they are broadcast. One pair will eventually walk away with £250,000 at the end of the series.
