ITV has announced that one of its major reality game shows The Fortune Hotel, is set to return for a second series.
The show, hosted by comedian Stephen Mangan, quickly became a huge success when it first launched earlier this year.
Viewers get to see ten pairs of contestants go head to head in sunny Grenada as they attempt to get a suitcase containing a life changing £250k cash prize inside. In the ultimate cat and mouse game, players will be swapping and changing their cases all the while keeping quiet on the exact contents of their case.
