It was never going to be easy for Richard Madeley to pretend to be a 27-year-old woman, was it?
Unsurprisingly, things got off to a cringey start on The Circle as he made a massive blunder while creating his profile.
Ahead of his appearance on the show, the public were tasked with choosing whether to have him play as hunky 23-year-old Richard or 27-year-old blonde Judy.
The TV presenter, 63, was given Judy and was tasked with creating a profile on The Circle.
On deciding the relationship status, he said: "I think it might be interesting if she's been engaged but she's just broken it off.
"Could be a posh girl, drinking champagne. Ok, err - 'Went to boarding school - hated it - and dropped out of uni after one term. Well one month actually."
He also decided to make her a 'nutrition tutor'.
Richard continued: "'I was born in London and still live there. Claim to fame, once met a real life astronaut who'd walked on the moon.'
"I think that sounds like a 27 year old!"
But viewers did not agree, pointing out that he had already gone in "too deep" and that his profile was "obviously fake".
One tweeted: "He's gone too deep!! He'll come unstuck because he's given them too much to question."
While another commented: "Dropped out of uni... but I’m a nutrition tutor. His profile was so obvious!!"
A third remarked: "He’s gone far too deep there could have made it so much easier for himself!!"
"Way too much detail in there, that's the writer in him I guess. I want to see him stir the pot! Bring it on," another wrote
*The Circle airs tonight at 10pm on Channel 4
