Famous names confirmed to play celebrity edition of The Circle for Stand up to Cancer

As previously announced, The Circle will be back for a double helping of gameplay next year as the reality competition series returns for an all-celeb series to raise funds for Stand Up to Cancer plus the third outing of the main series on Channel 4.

The showbiz names moving in to the most talked about apartment block in Britain to take on the game where anyone can be anyone are:

Baga Chipz

Charlotte Crosby

Denise van Outen

Duncan James

Lady Leshurr

Saffron Barker

And playing the game as double acts controlling one profile are:

Kaye Adams and Nadia Sawalha

Rickie Haywood-Williams and Melvin Odoom

Sam Thompson and Pete Wicks

With some of the celebs playing as themselves and others taking on a celebrity catfish persona, this edition of the game will see suspicions heightened and gameplaying galore as the celebs compete for the title of most popular player.

The six-part celebrity series will air early next year ahead of Series 3 of The Circle, which will once again see a batch of players compete in the game of popularity for a potential £100k prize. Emma Willis returns as host, delivering the players some surprise alerts along the way, and comedian Sophie Willan resumes her role as the unmistakable voiceover of each episode.

The series is in aid of Stand Up To Cancer, a joint national fundraising campaign from Cancer Research UK and Channel 4 that brings the UK together to speed up progress in life-saving research
