What was hotel gb before

The Channel 4 series saw stars such as Gordon Ramsay, Mary Portas, Kirstie Allsopp and Gok Wan take over a hotel and staff it with unemployed people seeking an opportunity, while also raising money for the Prince's Trust and Springboard charities. Across the week, employers from a number of UK firms involved in the hotel and leisure industry visited undercover to test the workers' skills with a view to potential employment. During the live final, it was confirmed that all 14 trainees had been presented with jobs, while - as promised from the beginning - Ramsay and Portas also offered jobs to one person from each of their teams.

Ramsay selected former cruise dancer and hostess Gun from Birmingham, saying: "I'm delighted to offer Gun a role within Gordon Ramsay Holdings.

Ensconced in Hotel GB's penthouse with her teacup yorkshire terriers Mixie and Dixie, Devey pre-empted the almost inevitable clashing of egos by demanding Ramsay cook her pets special meals — "kidneys, liver, chicken with no seasoning, and very lightly steamed carrots" — before saying she wanted to cure him of his swearing.

Were the idea of Hotel GB not quite odd enough, Channel 4 has also upped the ante by taking inspiration from other factual entertainment shows. Big Brother filming aside, the celebrities will compete in two teams to make the most money. This ties in with the third aspect of Hotel GB: as well as showing us guests and celebrities inside the hotel, Channel 4 has selected 14 trainees, with the aim of finding them work by the end of the show's week-long run.

How that soup of ideas will translate to screen remains to be seen: Channel 4 will be hoping that it revolutionises television as Big Brother did before it. The moments the audience will love are the things nobody can predict happening," said Hunt.
