The Circle is returning to our screens in less than a month with a special week-long celebrity series to kick things off before the regular folk invade the apartments for series three in aid of Stand Up To Cancer.
Following Richard Madeley’s appearance in the 2019 series, Channel 4 has commissioned a special celebrity series and revealed the first catfish of the series on Friday. The broadcaster confirmed Loose Women‘s Kaye Adams and Nadia Sawalha will be playing together as TOWIE‘s Gemma Collins.

“We are going into The Circle for Stand Up To Cancer and we are very nervous,” Kaye said on Friday’s episode of Loose Women. “I think we may have made complete fools of ourselves. But hey, what’s new?”

“We had to keep it all a secret,” Nadia added. “We actually shot it last September and we are catfishers and we are both pretending to be the GC!”
Other celebrities taking part are RuPaul’s Drag Race UK star Baga Chipz, Strictly Come Dancing star Saffron Barker, Charlotte Crosby, Denise van Outen, Duncan James and Lady Leshurr. Also playing as a pair are Rickie Haywood-Williams and Melvin Odoom and Sam Thompson and Pete Wicks.
