The Circle UK - Celebrity version

[bonfireheart]

I can't seem to find a start date. I've looked on their twitter where they have confirmed the celebs taking part:
Denise Van Outen - actress
Baga Chipz - RuPaul's Drag Race
Duncan James - Blue
Saffron Barker - influencer
Rickie Haywood-Williams - DJ
Melvin Odoom - DJ & TV presenter
Nadia Sawalha - Loose Women
Kate Adams - Loose Women
Pete Wicks - reality shows
Sam Thompson - reality shows
Lady Leshurr - rapper
Charlotte Crosby - reality shows

could be interesting!

they played a small clip of this on Loose Women last week. I'm hoping they will show this, then immediately follow it with the normal Circle!

I can’t wait for this, I am a huge fan of The Circle and this doesn’t look a bad line up of celebs but... are there going to be catfishes or is everyone just going to play as themselves? I don’t see how catfishes would work, would celebs pretend to be other celebs? But then it won’t be as fun without catfishes.

Yes, I think I heard someone is going to pretend to be Kim Woodburn so the catfishes must be other "celebs"

The two Loose Women are pretending to be Gemma Collins. Baga Chipz will be Kim Woodburn. Pete & Sam are pretending to be Rachel Riley. I think everyone else is themselves.

Melvin and someone are Will I Am

when they announce on Instagram it also shows who they are being

Are people really going to find will.i.am believable?

I guess he is over here a lot and does The Voice and Voice Kids so I guess it will depend if they knkw enough about him or whether the others know enough to.out them.

oooooo shame it was recored ages ago.

oooooo shame it was recored ages ago.

I'm glad you put this as I was about to post a really dumb question 😂

Charlotte is pretending to be Peter Andre.

I wonder if they have to get these celebs permission before they pretend to be them.

@margotmoon I was getting very confused that they were leaking all this information about who was going up be catfishing before it has been on tv, then I twigged that it's already been recorded.

Can't stand Nadia Sawalha so can't watch it. It's the weekly dancing in my bra and knickers videos that are so cringe.

Shame because I like all the others.

According to Wikipedia, it begins on March 9th!!

Ahh DVO. Is there any reality show haven't done yet? Maybe celeb master chef?

@Tianatiers Exactly! Glad it wasn't just me

There's no standout celeb for me in that list, will give it a chance though :) saves me binge watching episodes of the Office!

I'm sure I read that it starts 9th March

I thought the same 😂

She's been on so many reality shows that I can't remember if she's an actress or a presenter..and yet can't think of a single programme she has acted in or presented!

Oh wow checked her Wikipedia and she's done lots of great stuff!

Has anyone watched The Circle US? Worth bothering?

@MargotMoon my sister said it's really but tbh the high pitched screaming and OTT American behaviour (which I usually love) in the first ten mins turned me off.

I can imagine! My immediate when I saw it was that it would lack all of the warmth and humour of the UK version. I'll probably check it out, though...just to be sure...
