Who is Genelle?
Genelle, 31, from London, is a stay-at-mum to her 6-month-old daughter, Santanna.
Since becoming a mum, Genelle believes that her social life has shrunk and has found social media has become a great way to stay connected.
She has found that she's lost quite a few friends since becoming a mum because she's not always available socially.
Genelle is pan-sexual and that’s something she won’t be holding back in The Circle.

Who is Genelle playing as on The Circle?
Genelle is playing as herself but she's not revealing all.
She thinks her life has changed since having a baby and believes that The Circle will allow her to paint a more interesting version of her life, that isn’t all about nappies and naptimes.
Her strategy will be that she won't be telling any of the other players that she’s got a child with her.
In fact she isn’t even going to tell them she’s a mum, because thinks other people may assume her life is a bit boring.
