A contestant on Tempting Fortune has been called ‘selfish’ for splashing the cash (Picture: Channel 4)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tempting Fortune viewers have slammed two contestants for \u2018selfish\u2019 behaviour.<\/p>\n

This week the Channel 4<\/a> reality show returned to screens. Hosted by Paddy McGuinness,<\/a> it follows 12 strangers as they give up all luxuries during a gruelling 18-day trek across the Malaysian wilderness.<\/p>\n

With only basic survival gear, they are working towards reaching a \u00a3300,000 prize at the finish line.<\/p>\n

But along the way they are presented with \u2018temptations\u2019<\/a> that can offer them some luxuries during the journey\u2014but come out of the prize pool.<\/p>\n

Just two episodes into this season, contestants Vicki, 37, and Imani, 32, have already caused a stir by splashing the cash.<\/p>\n

In episode 2, which aired tonight, the pair dropped \u00a32,000 each on a taxi ride to avoid a trek through the jungle as others battled run-ins with leeches<\/a>.<\/p>\n
