The series that sees individuals compete to be the most popular started on September 18.

It continues tonight (October 15) at 10pm on Channel 4.

The application form for the programme, which is still ongoing, says applicants must be available exclusively for up to three weeks of filming throughout September and October 2018.

It also says that the programmes will be filmed, edited and broadcast while the contestants are living in this environment.

The show aims to question and shine a light on modern identity, how we portray ourselves and how we communicate through social media.

 How does the reality show work?

The contestants will all live in separate apartments in the same building and interact with each other via The Circle, a bespoke voice-activated social media platform.

The production team will have the ability to control the platform at all times.

As all other social media outlets, the contestants will be able to chat, make friends, argue and maybe even fall in love through The Circle.

Throughout the process, competitors will get to rate each other and the least liked person risks being blocked or removed from the platform.

At the end, the contestant that has managed to be the most popular one using The Circle will win the show and get to walk away with £50,000.
