The pair would put the £250,000 cash prize to good use, with Cherish revealing they would: "Invest in ourselves, our families and into our dreams. We’d also travel and do things for ourselves and our families that we haven’t been able to do for the last 30 years."

Married couple Claire, 43, and Daniel, 43, from Gloucestershire are the next pairing to enter The Fortune Hotel.

Speaking about their time on the show, Claire, a Commercial Director, divulged: "The first challenge we took part in was something I’ll never forget, the nervousness of not knowing what to expect, it ended up being so much fun."

Barrister Daniel added: "At one moment in the show our names were up in lights, I’ve never had my name up in lights so that was quite remarkable. I’d say all of the challenges too, it was a real bonding experience for everyone, the sun was shining, we were all buzzing and it gave us a chance to all really get to know each other."

Gary and Lesley
