ITV viewers call out 'coincidence' on The Fortune Hotel as they issue same complaint

The Fortune Hotel: Lesley and Gary win the challenge

As the third episode of The Fortune Hotel aired on ITV, viewers pointed out a "coincidence" as the same contestants who got the unlucky early check out card were the same players to win the room service challenge.

The series which is hosted by Stephen Mangan saw ten pairs of contestants arriving and checking in at The Fortune Hotel on Monday, where they were presented with an all-important briefcase.

Inside one of the cases was a whopping £25,000, eight were empty and one contained the Early Checkout Card, which meant an each episode, the duos head down to the Lady Luck Bar and decide whether to keep their case or swap it, in the hopes of early departure for whichever pair is holding it at the end of each episode.

The players take part in a series of challenges as viewers are in-the-know about which pairs have which briefcases. At the end of each episode, the duos head down to the Lady Luck Bar and decide whether to keep their case or swap it, in the hopes of ultimately winning the life-changing cash prize.

ITV viewers flocked to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their opinions on the third episode as the drama reached an all-time high.

Players Lesley and Gary received the dreaded Early Checkout Card which meant they were at risk of leaving the show, but managed to win the 'Room Service' challenge.

This meant the pair got an advantage and were able to swap their case or take a peek into another pair's case.

Viewers at home were confused about how the two managed to save themselves on two ocassions and one viewer said: "Bit of a coincidence that they won the challenge when they had the early check out card #TheFortuneHotel."

Another person agreed: "I’ve just said this. That’s too much of a coincidence makes me think it’s staged.#TheFortuneHotel."

Somebody else expressed: " know it’s just coincidence but the couple with the early checkout card winning both room service challenges is crazyyy. i’m glad lesley & gary have learnt from the mistakes of abbie & tracy tho #Thefortunehotel." (sic)

Yet another ITV viewer questioned: "So the ones with the early checkout card win once again #TheFortuneHotel." A fifth said: "Bit of deju vu for Lesley & Gary. They have the early checkout card again.#TheFortuneHotel."

However, not everyone felt the same as one person said: "Have to say, enjoying #TheFortuneHotel."

The Fortune Hotel airs Monday to Thursday at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
