A HAMPSHIRE father-daughter duo will compete with eight others - including a former bodybuilder from the TV show Gladiators - in the forthcoming series of The Circle.
The Channel 4 show has recruited ten new players who will communicate and compete with each other online while housed separately in a block of flats in a bid to win the £100,000 prize.
Contestants can adopt fake identities – “catfishing” one another – and in 2018, Alex Hobern scooped the cash prize after pretending to be a woman to the other players.
Father-daughter pair Jamie and Millie, from Hampshire, will be playing together as Penny, a 49-year-old letting agent from London.
Student Millie, 20, said: “It’s just one of the most unique games you can go into. With social media nowadays, it’s all about the way you present yourself.
“So to go in and get to know someone, without seeing fully who the person is, is quite refreshing.”
Jamie, 57, a relationship therapist, will be helping her attempt to trick the other players into believing their act.
Among the eight other contestants they will have to defeat is strength and conditioning coach James, who appeared on hit 90s TV show Gladiators as Hunter.
The 47-year-old will be hoping to “catfish” the other players by playing the game as NHS nurse Gemma
Other players include YouTuber and content creator Hashu, 28, and dating agency founder Yolanda, 30.
Series three of The Circle starts on March 16 at 9.15pm on Channel 4.
