There’s good news for fans of the smash-hit reality series Tempting Fortune as Channel 4 has announced a third instalment is on the way.
The series first started in 2023 and saw host Paddy McGuinness welcome 12 people to the remote wilderness as they embarked on an 18-day trek aiming to divide the £300,000 prize fund.
Along the way, their willpower will be put to the test as they’ll constantly be offered luxurious comforts, including mouth-watering treats, comfy beds and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
However, should they give in to temptation and decide to purchase something that’s offered, money will be deducted from the final pot for everyone.
Now, a fresh batch of contestants will have to trek through the Malaysian jungle armed with nothing but basic supplies and their own willpower.
The third series will be fronted by comedian Rob Beckett, who is taking over from the previous host, Paddy McGuinness.
Speaking about joining the show, Rob said: “Put people in the jungle, take away everything nice, then tempt them with hot showers and burgers. It’s hilarious.
“Everyone thinks they can resist temptation until they’re hot and filthy, and suddenly morals go out the window. I’m very happy to be hosting this show, especially from the comfort of a lovely crew hotel.”

A synopsis for the series reads: “With big brands lining up to transport their products to the jungle to offer up comforting tastes of home, the temptations on offer are more tempting and more emotionally evocative than ever before.
“This new series promises more extreme conditions, more enticing temptations, and some dramatic new twists that will put even greater pressure on the shared cash pot.”
It’s not yet been announced when the third series will air.
Since the show began three years ago, it’s received nothing but praise from fans as one person on X said: “This is amazing #TemptingFortune.”
Someone else wrote: “Thoroughly enjoyed #TemptingFortune, what a great series and SO well made. Easily some of the best tv I’ve watched this year so far. From the brilliant cast, epic set builds and incredible filmmaking feats of the crew, production and producers on the ground.”
Series 1 & 2 of Tempting Fortune is available to watch on Channel 4.
