The Circle UK is back for a second Series, with adaptations of the show being produced in Brazil, the U.S and France. The eight players heading into their private apartments would soon have to compete against eachother to win the £100k money prize (and obviously try not to make too many enemies along the way)...
The original players:
(1) Woody - 18, and originally from Brighton who won't be revealing his celebrity parents (Fatboy Slim & Zoe Ball).
(2) Georgina - 21, and from Nottingham (Ay Up G!), who will be playing as herself.
(3) James - 26, from Liverpool, who'll be playing as a single mum called 'Sammie' with a child called 'Charlie'.
(4) Brooke - 24, who came to the UK from France for a 'little holiday' which has now become her reality.
(5) Katie - 43, from Hampshire, who is the second catfish of the season, and playing as her 25 year old son 'Jay'.
(6) - Sy, 35, and originally from Somerset, who promises to be 'nice guy Sy' and hope his farmer ways can win over the rest of the players.
(7) - Emelle, 31, a lesbian model from Manchester who'll be 'playing it straight'
(8) - Tim, 58, and originally from Rugby, believes the others will think he's a catfish, but also thinks he'll be able to detect the people lying about their profiles...
Before the show even began, there were a variety of interviews including one with Katie's real life son, Jay and last year's winner of The Circle, Alex Hobern (who went in as his girlfriend Milly).
Then we found out that the players had to rate eachother on 'first impressions' with the top two becoming influencers and having the power to block someone from The Circle.
-Georgina and Brooke began a 'Circle friendship', Sy thought that Woody has a 'Nice profile picture' and Tim could smell 'catfish' from Emelle's profile...
We also found out that Richard Madeley was the celebrity guest heading into the show as either a 23 year old lad called 'Richard' or 27 year old posh girl called 'Judy'...Emma Willis, the host had a quick chat with his niece Claire about his gameplan for when he's in the game.
In the end when it came down to the ratings, James ('Sammie') ended up at Number 1 with Tim at second, making them the first influencers of the show...
We didn't find out who got blocked until Wednesday's episode, so check the next blog post to stay up to date!
To watch The Circle live, it's on every night (apart from Saturday), Channel 4 @ 10/10:15pm!
