Who is Millie on The Circle 2021?

Millie already boasts a large presence on social media, with more than 16 thousand followers on followed by a further 1.8 thousand on TikTok.
When discussing her decision to apply for The Circle, Millie 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."
Millie also explained why she found the idea of creating Penny as a character so enticing, saying: “It has been fun to create this perfect woman – someone who has the qualities that Dad might want in a partner and I would want in a step-mum. She’s kind of like a bit of both of us.”

Penny, their character, is a letting agent from London.
