The This Morning guest continued: “That is always how I watched Big Brother. But this, I very much watch it as a game.
“I hated Big Brother being compared to a game but this is clearly a game with the interaction of people, how they’ll react in certain scenarios and then seeing who is going to be themselves and who is going to play it to try and be the most popular and win that money.”
Revealing how she became a fan of The Circle despite hosting Big Brother at the time, Emma explained: “I came late to this party, because we [Big Brother] were up against each other last year and I was like, ‘What is this show?’
“But I have lots of friends that worked on Big Brother over the years that had been watching it [The Circle]. And then I watched it, and much as I hated to admit it, I just got sucked in!”
This Morning airs weekdays at 10.30am on ITV.
