dailyrecord.co.uk:

The Fortune Hotel returned to screens on Tuesday night for a second episode, following the launch of ITV's latest entertainment series on Monday night.The new programme, which is hosted by Stephen Mangan, presented contestants with ten briefcases on arrival at The Fortune Hotel as they awaited to see their fate and embark on a game-playing journey.One held an attractive £25,000, eight were hollow, and one contained the early checkout card, signifying an imminent exit for the unfortunate pair holding it at each episode's conclusion.

Throughout the series, challengers participate in various tasks, keeping viewers informed about the carriers of each briefcase.Every episode culminates in the participants heading to the Lady Luck Bar, where they deliberate keeping or swapping their case, all for the chance to win the significant money prize.In Tuesday's episode, the challenge for the contestants was far from living a life of luxury.

The pairs had to guess the ingredients of staple cocktails, with one twist, they all contained a stomach curdling concoction that couldn't be further from the recipe.Susan and Jen, two Scots best pals, are among the contestants gunning for the cash-filled briefcase.

They had a good inkling that Jo-Anne and Will, mum and son duo, are the 'fortune holders' who are in posession of the cash - and they were right.The winning pair from the first task, mother and daughter Abbie and Tracey, had the option to swap their briefcase, or take a 'peek' inside someone elses.
