A MAN from Chapmanslade has got down to the final four in Channel 5's cult game show, The Mole.

Chris Lintern, 27, could walk away with up to £200,000 if he wins the competition but he could also be revealed as a saboteur who has been trying to undermine the efforts of the other team members.

He said: "It was a fantastic experience, a once in a lifetime opportunity."

He and eight other contestants filmed the programme in Canada in August.

They had to work together to complete challenges, ranging from being chased by trained police dogs to leaping off cliffs, but only one could eventually walk away with the prize money.

Mr Lintern, who became hooked on the first series of the show, said: "We all got on really well as a group. There was obviously a bit of suspicion but we were all sharing the experience of being there."

The winner and the identity of the mole will be revealed in the episode due to be screened on December 2 and until then Mr Lintern and his fellow competitors are sworn to secrecy.
