Participant reveals costs and payments for Channel 4's Four in a Bed

A participant from the show "Four in a Bed" revealed that contestants do not receive an appearance fee and must pay for their overnight stays at each other's establishments. They are later reimbursed for these costs. James, who appeared on the show with his Uplawmoor Hotel, mentioned that contestants are advised to bring cash for their stays, typically around £250 to £500. The production company pays for meals directly to the hotels. Despite not winning the competition, James noted an increase in bookings for his hotel since the episode aired. "Four in a Bed" has been airing on Channel 4 since 2010, featuring couples rating each other's B&Bs.
