Vithun has become the latest player to be blocked from The Circle.
The OG player, who was competing as himself, was chosen by influencers Manrika and Felix aka Natalya to go.
The news means that Manrika has now had a hand in ejecting the last four players in a row - picking Billy, Gemma/James and Vithun to go, while also helping to put ally Tally in the bottom two.
Manrika had pushed for Vithun to go following his admission that he had left a duplicitous message about her in the group chat, but she had also considered getting rid of close friend Andy due to his popularity.
Announcing the decision to the group, she wrote: "It's been so difficult because we love you all so much. We've had to consider so many factors, who we want to continue to get to know and many many more things. This is honestly devastating.
"It breaks my heart to say that our decision boils down to the most important thing to both of us, loyalty and trust. If that's broken then what do we have? Therefore the player we've decided to block is Vithun."
Andy appeared more disappointed than Vithun at the decision, exclaiming: "Argh, they did Vithun, I knew they would. Oh Vithun mate, they've fucking done you there.
"I think we may have just got confirmation that they're playing the game now... That's a bit sly."
The Circle continues Friday night at 10pm on Channel 4. body check tags ::
