Who is Dan playing as on The Circle?

Dan is playing as himself - a natural flirt and charmer.

He hopes that his sales skills and subtle manipulation techniques will help him to win over the other contestants.

On taking part in the show he said: "It’s unique, it’s an extreme situation and it’s a challenge.

"Life can be a bit samey, so I like anything out of the norm. It’ll be an experience if nothing else."
