With only five of 11 couples still standing, The Fortune Hotel is heating up as remaining schemers battle it out to get their hands on a briefcase holding a healthy £200,000.
Stephen Mangan hosts the show’s remaining contestants, all ordinary people who know each other in some capacity: friends Maz and Max; couple Nella and Tope; mum and daughter Martina and Briony; mother and son Sue and Jeremy; and partners Fred and Min.
Tonight’s episode left viewers on a cliffhanger with their jaws on the floor, as fans took to social media to fret about the drama.
‘What a place to leave it! This is quickly becoming my favourite show’ said @ThomasR14336083 on X.
‘Wow what just happened on #thefortunehotel that was mad!!’ raved @ellie289, while @AthollMills asked: ‘NAAAAAAHHHHHH WHAT?!?!’
‘The Fortune Hotel is proper snakey this series. Love it,’ said Jessica Ransom.
‘I’m totally engrossed in this & I don’t know who deserves the money at this point,’ confessed Thomas Robin.

For the uninitiated: guests check into the luxurious Fortune Hotel, all armed with a briefcase each. The aim of the game is to find and hang on to the briefcase which secretly holds £200,000.
However, with five pairs of contestants left, three briefcases hold nothing, and one is home to the cursed ‘early check-out’ card, which eliminates contestants who own it at the end of each day.
On tonight’s episode, Maz and Max desperately tried to hold on to their money-laden briefcase, but were beaten in the morning’s challenge by Jeremy and Sue in a game of ice cream roulette.
The victorious mum and son were awarded either a glimpse into a briefcase of their choosing, or a swapsies ahead of the evening’s night cap meet, where fates are sealed for another day.
Incredibly, they swapped briefcases with Maz and Max and swindled them out of the fortune.
Things only got worse for Maz and Max, when their allies Nella and Tope turned on them at the night cap, revealing that they had the early checkout card, and were going to give it to the M’s. Ouch.
‘This is the ultimate betrayal,’ Maz and Max said to the camera as the episode wrapped up for another week.
Let’s just say it’s been a twisty episode for ITV’s answer to BBC’s The Traitors, and viewers were loving it.
The next episode – which will be the semi-final – airs on Wednesday August 27 at 9pm, with the grand finale deciding the winner on Thursday August 28.
The Fortune Hotel airs on ITV1 and ITVX. Once the episodes have aired they are available on the streamer.
