Channel 4 Plans Week-Long Celebrity Edition of The Circle

The Circle is to return for an all-celebrity version to raise funds for Stand Up to Cancer, alongside the third season of the main series on Channel 4.

Baga Chipz, Charlotte Crosby, Denise van Outen, Duncan James, Lady Leshurr and Saffron Barker will take part. Playing the game as double acts controlling one profile are Kaye Adams and Nadia Sawalha, Rickie Haywood-Williams and Melvin Odoom and Sam Thompson and Pete Wicks.

The six-part celebrity series will air early next year ahead of season three of The Circle, which will once again see players compete in the game of popularity for a potential £100,000 prize. Emma Willis returns as host, delivering the players some surprise alerts along the way, and comedian Sophie Willan resumes her role as the voiceover of each episode.

Celebrity Circle for Stand Up To Cancer and The Circle season three were recorded earlier this year in line with COVID-19 filming guidelines.
