The Circle players Jack and Beth fuel romance predictions with flirtatious display

Eagle eyed The Circle viewers noticed that catfish players Jack and Beth were looking rather close on their shared sofa on tonight's episode.

The two players have joined together and are pretending to be 62-year-old Joyce.

This means they share a room on the show and play from their sofa - which has seen them edging closer and closer as the show goes on.

The genetically-blessed players are getting along swimmingly, and in tonight's episode they even embraced in a intimate cuddle.

Viewers were quick to spot the potential romance blossoming.

"Anyone else clocked how close Beth and Jack are getting?" asked one.

"how cute are Beth and Jack together" gushed another.

"I’m deeply uncomfortable with how close Beth and Jack are on the sofa", said a third.

"Jack & Beth are more than friends", predicted a fourth.

"Anyone else noticed that as the days have gone on Jack and Beth have got closer on that sofa tell me they’re not s******g and I’ll tell you straight up they are", declared a fifth.

While another pondered: "I think Jack and Beth are having their own love island time in #TheCircle ".

Andrea and Jan joined the players as the competed for a chance to permanently join the game (c4)

Meanwhile, new player Jan, 58, joined the other players after self-proclaimed supermodel Andrea failed to make a lasting impression.

Jan and Andrea had to try to win the other players' affections and answer questions while their names, ages, genders and appearance was kept anonymous.

They were known simply as "red egg" and "blue egg".

Jan won a place in the game after she proved popular with the other players (c4)

The players chose Jan to stay in the process - but seemed to somewhat regret their decisions when they found out Andrea was a hunky Italian model.

Ella and Tim had actually voted for Andrea to enter the game, which made their introduction to Jan rather awkward.

Suspicions have intensified between the remaining players as they are all paranoid that there are several catfishes still in the game.

Extremely dedicated to the cause is Woody, who has even written out a diagram of each player and any questions he has about their authenticity on his wall.

Viewers were impressed with his sleuth skills, and one wrote: "B****y Detective Woody absolutely has to win this."

Others found his detective level of investigation hilarious.

"Woody’s catfish board and sleuthing is pretty awesome", said another.

"Woody's CSI skills are off the charts!" declared another.
