Who won Tempting Fortune?

Tempting Fortune saw the 12 contestants take on the tough South African wilderness.

Along the way they were tempted with "treats" to make their trip more enjoyable, but this came at a price - and ultimately reduced the £300K prize pot.

In the end, after spending the least amount of money out of the group, ex-pro basketball player James was the winner.

He took home the majority of the winning prize, by being given the highest share of £22,608.

However, fans were left fuming as Dee, who spent the most amount of cash, walked away with £19,608.

Fans were shocked to see there was only a £3K difference between the lowest and highest prize pots - despite stark differences in spending throughout the show.

One viewer fumed: "The ones who abstained from the temptations made as much as the spenders in their money pot! Where's the fairness in that!"

Another commented: "James only got a couple of grand more than Lani in the end. She had a spa, drinks, silent disco, nice dinner and he got….a teabag."

What is Tempting Fortune about?

Tempting Fortune is hosted by Paddy McGuinness, and inspired by the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
