Two new players will enter the game on tonight's new episode of The Circle - and both will be playing as catfish.
Friday's episode featured a double blocking as both catfish 'Penny' and the fake version of Tally were eliminated from the competition.
In their place comes actor Scott, who will be masquerading as his 85-year-old grandmother Dorothy, and military policewoman Natalya, who will be playing as 29-year-old paratrooper Felix.
"I want to be The Circle nan," said Scott, 30. "I want to be that person that everyone goes to for advice.
"I'm going to use her age as my secret weapon really, because when you're in that environment you do miss your family. I know if I was going in there as myself and I saw an elderly woman who looks like my nan, I'd be drawn to her and want to keep her in because who doesn't love a nan? Everybody loves a nan."

Explaining her decision to swap genders for the game, Natalya said: "I think I had to play a man to do this. If I went in as me, as a female saying I'm in the military they would think I'm not a real person. They would think I'm a catfish, because they might assume I'm too girly from my pictures.
"I'd also probably get judged a little on my job role. I think people would probably question it. I would spend the game trying to justify my career, which is not the point of it. I think as a guy it will be so easy, people would expect it and they wouldn't question it.
"I'm also not just some civilian pretending to be an Army Boy. I know his backstory, because it's my backstory as well."
The Circle continues tonight at 10pm on Channel 4.
