The Circle is finally back for its much-anticipated third season with new contestants who hope to outsmart each other and win the grand cash prize.

Let’s meet The Circle star on Instagram and get to know him better.
Who is James?
James, 47, is a bodybuilder, online personal trainer and strength and conditioning coach based in London.
He is known for playing Hunter on the sports entertainment game show Gladiators, which aired from 1993 to 2000.
James suffered several dislocated shoulders and speaking more about this and his time on Gladiators, he recently told Metro:
“I dislocated my shoulder six times. It just kept coming out. Because of the time restriction of the show I could never get it properly sorted. That would have meant being out for seven months.
“A lot of people didn’t realise that we filmed two shows a day, with two days on and two off. In one weekend we’d have filmed four shows.”
The Circle 2021 star is a qualified yoga instructor at Sadhana Wellbeing, has trained as an actor and presented on ITV’s Peak Performance.
Moreover, he broke the world record for lifting the Dinnie Stones, on May 1st, 2018.
