The Circle: Everything you need to know about NEW player Scotty! Wed 26 September 2018 22:00

May 2024 · 2 minute read

The Circle welcomed yet another pair of fresh faces as Scotty and Hannah joined the social media circle on Tuesday night (September 25th).

Both players claim to be playing themselves and will not look to claim the £50,000 prize money through clever trickery. Alex, who is fronting as Kate, is the only completely ‘fake’ player left in the game.

But who is Scott Forrester? How does he have 6,000+ followers on Instagram?

We found The Circle’s DAN on Instagram; Is he single? Is that turtle really his?

Wtf Scotty looks so young for 36!? #TheCircle

Who is Scotty?

Scotty is a 36-year-old former semi-professional footballer.

Since hanging up his boots, the born and raised South Londoner became a black cab driver, which he still does now.

Neck to Toe in Tats

The Circle newbie is covered from neck to toe in tattoos.

Bar his legs, he pretty much has a full body sleeve – if that’s a thing!

This includes a lion, rose petal, wolf, swallows, Rising Sun, clock face and LOYALTY plastered across his mid-drift.

Scotty’s extensive body art is the main reason for all his followers.

An Insta tattoo icon, he’s managed to amass 6,836 followers with just 60 posts.

Ibiza King

Ibiza King is probably the nickname that Scotty lives for. Judging by his Instagram account, he spends a lot of time on the White Isle.

Whether it’s the beach of San Antonio or beach club of Ocean Beach Ibiza, Scotty lives for that ‘Ibiza ballers’ lifestyle.

Now someone brings over the Magnum Belvedere with sparklers…

Professional Footballer?

Although Scotty played football full-time for the most part of his career, he never really hit the professional level.

A journeyman of the English non-league system, he started his career at Sutton United in 1999.

Scotty went on to play for the likes of Dulwich Town, Aldershot Town, Boreham Wood, Billericay Town and Grays Athletic, eventually finishing his career at Croydon in 2014.

None of those teams played higher than four or five divisions below England’s top league.

WATCH THE CIRCLE EVERY NIGHT (EXCEPT SATURDAY) ON CHANNEL 4, AT 10 PM.
