Twelve Brits land in South Africa to begin a gruelling 18-day trek. Will they spend any of their prize pot along the way? When a single shower costs £1000, the bill can rack up quickly...

2. Episode 2

Alliances are starting to form, and as bodies ache and morale drops, the temptations are becoming harder to resist.

3. Episode 3

A vast ideological split has formed between the trekkers. Will any of them trade a chunk of the prize money for an evening in a living room that's just like home?

4. Episode 4

Fatigue is setting in and the mood in the group is at an all-time low. They could do with a pick-me-up - just like a lavish party that's plonked right in their path...

5. Episode 5

The prize fund has taken some hits and the trekkers are divided. But will that stop anyone from spending more of it on a trip to a cocktail bar?

6. Episode 6 - The Final
