What is The Circle about?

The show sees each contestant move into a newly refurbished block of flats in London – and handed the keys to their own apartment.

None of the show’s participants have ever met one another in person.

Instead, they communicate by a specially designed social media app.

The platform is completely voice activated, meaning the contestants speak to one another through the app – rather than face-to-face.

The game means that each person can pretend to be whatever, and whoever, they want to be.

They only get the opportunity to see another contestant when they are knocked out of the game.

At the end of the series, the most popular player – the person who accrues the most likes – will be in with a chance to win the £100,000 prize money.


When is The Circle on TV?

The celebrity version of the show is on TV now and the next episode is tonight (March 11, 2021) at 9pm on Channel 4.

The Celebrity Circle will be on for one week.

After this the normal version of the series will air on Channel 4.
