The Fortune Hotel's Fred and Min have stolen the show: here's everything you need to know about the couple
The Fortune Hotel season 2 has returned to ITVX with a bang and we are lapping it up. The gameshow, which fans have likened to The Traitors and The White Lotus, jets contestants off to the tropical Caribbean island of Grenada (sign us up!).
10 pairs checked into the glamorous Fortune Hotel for a rollercoaster of challenges, alliances and poker faces. Each couple acquired a briefcase, with one containing the mighty prize of £250,000 and another with a not-so-fortunate 'early checkout' card, signaling elimination.
From business partners to mother-and-son duos, one partnership has come out on top… but not from their own doing. Fred and Min were completely puzzled by the first race to complete a crossword and find a clue… leaving them in last place. But in some strange twist of fortune, they sneakily ended up with the £250,000 briefcase that evening!
But what do we know about Fred and Min?
The retired life partners are 60 and 59-years-old. They live together in Blackpool, Lancashire. They are currently the only retired contestants, as ex-police officer John was knocked out of the competition when he received the early checkout case in episode 2.
Their game plan? 'Bluff them, blag them and fake it til you make it! It was our last hurrah!" Fred said. Well, their plan is certainly working so far…
When asked by Media Mole how they would spend the prize money, they weren't in agreement. Fred said, 'Wisely!', while Min said, 'Unwisely! We need a new van, so it would go on that.'
