Channel 4 has confirmed that its hit reality show Tempting Fortune is set to return for a third series, once again produced by Voltage TV in collaboration with Motion Entertainment, part of WPP Media.

Rob Beckett will take on hosting duties for the new series as 12 fresh contestants face tougher challenges, trickier temptations, and even higher stakes in the show's signature mix of comedy and high-pressure adventure.

Following the success of the first two series, the format remains the same: contestants trek through the Malaysian jungle with minimal supplies, relying on their determination and endurance. They begin with a £300,000 group prize pot, which can be spent on tempting luxuries along the way, from a hot meal to a soft bed or even a phone call home. Every indulgence reduces the pot, meaning each decision carries weight for the whole team.

This series promises bigger and more emotionally charged temptations, with major brands providing comfort items designed to challenge contestants' resolve. Extreme conditions, unexpected twists, and Rob Beckett's humour will guide viewers through every moment as the group navigates both the physical and emotional demands of the jungle.

Fans can expect more tension, more laughter, and more dramatic decisions as the contestants balance survival with the lure of temptation in a series that continues to push limits and test friendships under pressure.

Rob Beckett 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."
