Channel 4's popular reality TV show The Circle is coming to Salford

A block of new apartments in Salford will be used for the hit channel 4 for show The Circle.

The show was ordered for a second season after the first offering proved incredibly popular.

Fortis Developments, the company behind the Adelphi Wharf development, and their sister firm Fortis Residential Lettings, have leased the apartments to Studio Lambert for the show.

The Manchester Evening News reported earlier this year that the show would be moving to Greater Manchester, with Big Brother's Emma Willis replacing hosts Alice Levine and Maya Jama.

Filming is set to take place on eight dates between September and December.

Commercial Property Manager for Fortis Development, Barry Greenbank said: "Our sister company, Fortis Residential Lettings Ltd have let an entire new block of apartments at our new Adelphi Wharf Development on Adelphi St in Salford to Studio Lamberts, on behalf of Channel Four to film the second series of The Circle.

"They are currently fitting the out the block in readiness to start broadcasting in around six weeks' time.

"If you go to the development, you'll see they've erected the big circle on the outside of the apartment block ready for their banner to go over it."

The Circle follows a group of contestants who live in separate apartments in the same building, but never meet each other, instead communicating through a social media platform called 'The Circle'.

Last year's winner Alex Hobern used his girlfriends photos to fool other contestants into believing he was a woman named Kate (Channel 4)

Contestants are in charge of creating their own profiles and can decide what they want to present online.
