In particular, couples who had been handed the Early Checkout Card - which put them at risk of being kicked out of the Grenada hotel and out of the running for the money. Viewers noticed a streak of those with the Early Checkout card winning challenges and therefore saving their place. A total of 10 couples compete - with only one pair being armed with a briefcase containing the whopper cash prize. Eight suitcases are empty, with one containing the dreaded early checkout card, leading to elimination. From there, the challenge begins in order to find which case the cash is in. The first series saw mother and son Jo-Anne and Will emerge as the winners - but who will follow in their footsteps? The Fortune Hotel airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
