Richard Madeley has been on The Circle for less than two minutes and has already gone flying as he tripped up on live telly.

The daytime TV icon, known for his bumbling commentary on todays world and Alan Partridge-isms, has joined the show in a shock twist.

In the upcoming episodes, he will catfish the other contestants with a persona picked by the viewers – either buff 23-year-old Richard, or 27-year-old blonde bombshell Judy.

(Were keeping all our fingers crossed for him to play Judy, to be honest.)

Viewers were already aware he was going in to be an agent of chaos for the show, as Emma Willis put it, and within seconds he proved to be classic viewing.

Moving into his apartment with a guitar under his arm, Richard made sure his new digs were kitted out with things to keep himself busy.

Getting himself excited over the presence of a typewriter for some novel-writing in the downtime (because hes not allowed a laptop), he then played a little ditty on the keyboard as he got used to his new pad.

Speaking outloud, he declared: I bet Boris Johnson would trade places with me in a fingersnap!

Oh my God! Oh this is really cool! This is much nicer than I was expecting, this is fine. Its going to be fine, he said as he saw his living room.

This is a proper prison, this is great! I bet my wifes jealous! Alright Judy, wish you were here? Probably not.

Fans already cant wait for the twist to kick in next episode:
