The preview for the first episode of season two, via Radio Times, reads: “A new group of guests have barely touched down before the games begin as host Stephen Mangan welcomes 11 new pairs to the hostelry with a Day Trip Challenge that kicks off on the airport runway.
“It's a race that involves taxis, boats and the Caribbean Sea. Pairs must retrieve keys to earn their place at the hotel, but who will get a room and who will be at risk of heading home with emotions already running high?”
