The Circle's Woody finally admits dad is DJ Fatboy Slim as fans 'love him' for it

The Circle's Woody was unveiled as the "secret influencer" last night, and on tonight's show he dropped another bombshell.

Woody, 18, revealed he has famous parents - he is the son of DJ Fatboy Slim and Zoe Ball.

He came in as a secret influencer chosen by viewers, and he blocked contestants Beth and Jack face-to-face on tonight's episode - the pair played 62-year-old Joyce together.

He said to catfishes Beth and Jack: "My parents are famous - but I didn't want that to be me."

Woody admitted he wanted to come on the show as himself and not to be popular because of his parents.

The pair asked who his parents were and he replied: "So my dad is DJ Fatboy Slim and my mum is Zoe Ball."

Beth squealed: "Are you joking me?!" and he quipped: "Nah, I'm not joking."

Fans of The Circle proved to love Woody as they took to Twitter to share sweet comments about him.

One praised: "@ZoeTheBall raised a true gentleman."

And another gushed: "Love Woody. Such a lovely young man, it gives me hope. No tactical blocking. Credit to you @ZoeTheBall and @FatboySlim".

"Really hope woody wins #TheCircle , such a nice boy. @ZoeTheBall you must be so proud xx" a third person added.

And others simply said they "love" Woody.

In a game where anyone can be anyone, players of the show live in the same building but reside in completely different apartments.

But the players never meet face to face and communicate only via social media platform The Circle in a bid to be voted the most popular by other contestants.

Beth and Jack were previously eliminated, but were voted back in by the public to play together as a new player.

*The final of The Circle takes place this Friday on Channel 4 at 10pm.
