The Celebrity Circle’s Nadia Sawalha makes EPIC blunder masquerading as ‘Gemma Collins’

The Celebrity Circle’s Nadia Sawalha makes EPIC blunder masquerading as ‘Gemma Collins’ when she mistakenly calls TOWIE’s Amy Childs ‘Amy Chiles’

The famous contestants of The Celebrity Circle turned their attentions to Gemma Collins on Thursday night’s episode, when a massive blunder saw her caught in a lie.

Gemma is not really taking part on the show, with Loose Women’s Nadia Sawalha and Kaye Adams catfishing the others as the TOWIE legend.

But Nadia made an epic gaffe when she referenced Gemma’s real-life TOWIE co-star Amy Childs – mistakenly calling her Amy Chiles.

Oops! The famous contestants of The Celebrity Circle turned their attentions to Gemma Collins – aka Nadia Sawalha – on Thursday night’s episode, when a massive blunder saw her caught in a lie

The error – which took place during a group chat – immediately raised the suspicions of the rest of the contestants.

The following morning, Denise Van Outen – playing as herself – and Sam Thompson and Pete Wicks – playing as Rachel Riley – asked her about the blunder. 

Nadia was seen insisting she had got Amy’s surname right, with Kaye left fuming with her after insisting the day before that her name was ‘Childs’.

Nadia – who had brought Gemma’s autobiography into the flat with her as a reference – double-checked the book, to find out she was wrong and Kaye was right.

Gaffe! Gemma is not really taking part on the show, with Loose Women's Nadia and Kaye Adams catfishing the others as the TOWIE legend

Kaye was left fuming at the revelation. 

Following this, Denise started up a private chat with ‘Rachel’ to compare notes.

Denise was convinced, however, that Rachel was really her, rather than Pete and Sam in disguise.

The episode ended with Emma Willis announcing that the circle will become a triangle, singling ‘Gemma’ out as one of those being part of the triangle.

Before the exit, he was given the chance to meet up with one of the other contestants, choosing Gemma.

Duncan took a bottle of champagne to go and see ‘Gemma’ – shocked to walk in and find that Kaye and Nadia were in the room.

He was allowed to send a message to the rest of the stars afterwards, revealing he had been to meet up with one of the catfishes – but didn’t reveal who. 

The Loose Women panelists were seen hilarious scrambling about at the prospect of a visit from the boy band hunk, having been lounging around in bed in their dressing gowns.

‘He’s going to be disappointed to find a pair of wizened old women!’ Nadia quipped before he turned up. 

Decisions: The Blue star was chosen by 'influencers' Lady Leshurr and Saffron Barker to be axed from the show, leaving Duncan disappointed to have to pack his bags
