Sounds easy, right? Wrong. The celebrities must follow strict rules and, with the tight time pressure bearing down on them, the challenge is not as simple as it seems.
When the time’s up they aren’t allowed to own any assets that don't belong to them so there can't be any expensive souvenirs, hastily made suits or bottles of foreign booze. They must blow it on madcap experiences, they can’t give the money away and are only allowed to spend up to 10 per cent on any one activity. The lucky, or not so lucky, ones are also allowed to gamble up to £1,000 of the cash but is that a risk they'll be willing to take?
