Adam and Michael, two contestants from the Fortune Hotel, have been discovered to have shared offensive content on their social media accounts. The new reality game show, which has been compared to The Traitors, has only just started on ITV and has already gained a large fan base.
The two contestants, known as The Naked Builders on social media, are a bricklayer and landscaper from Bognor Regis. They had a significant following before joining the show, using their platforms to share comedic sketches related to their professions. However, some of their videos have been found to be offensive and have since been deleted.
In one video posted in April, the duo imitated a Chinese doctor and made fun of a woman's appearance in an offensive 'Electricians joke.' The video featured the use of TikTok filters and accents. Similarly, in 2022, the pair shared other offensive videos, including one where they drew female genitalia in cement and then cut to a video of a goat making a licking motion.
Another post about 'Tilers' featured one of the contestants using a makeup filter and making an offensive comment in a mock accent. This joke seemed to be directed towards the trans community. A spokesperson for The Fortune Hotel stated that all contestants' social media accounts undergo appropriate checks before filming and that they are given guidance on how to behave on social media while being on the show.
The Fortune Hotel, hosted by Stephen Mangan, is a new series set in the Caribbean where teams of pairs compete to win a quarter of a million pounds by lying and deceiving their fellow contestants. In an interview before the show, Adam and Michael, both parents, shared that they would spend their winnings on their children. Mike mentioned taking his daughter to Disney and spending the money on property, while Adam said he would go on a holiday with his girlfriend and son and then plan another trip to relax and decide what to do with the money.
The Agency reached out to ITV for a comment on the situation. The Fortune Hotel will continue airing on ITV from Monday to Thursday next week. If you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, you can contact the entertainment team at The Agency by emailing, calling, or visiting their Submit Stuff page. They would love to hear from you.
