Her time on 'Celebs Go Dating'
'The Circle' is not Billie's first foray into reality television. Billie-Jean arrived in style at a 'Celebs Go Dating' party in 2021, immediately drawing Wayne Lineker's attention. She was one of three singletons that arrived later in the season of the Channel 4 show to join the party, where celebrities and their prospective future partners partied the night away. Wayne and Billie-Jean began talking almost immediately and had been seen spending time together ever since. She mentioned that she is looking for a free spirit that can make her proper belly laugh.
Despite having gone on a date with Jodie Burling, Wayne was immediately captivated by Billie-Jean. When Billie-Jean arrived at a 'Celebs Go Dating' party, he stated that he hadn't developed feelings for anyone in the mansion until 25 minutes prior (when she arrived). He stated Billie-Jean checked every box, and when they hit it off, he opted to go on a double date with her, Jessica, and Tom Zanetti. Wayne and Billie-Jean were spotted smiling and holding hands, and he even prepared her tea in the morning! When it came to the masquerade event, Wayne chose to send Jodie home and keep Billie-Jean at the mansion. Despite having a "deep connection" in the 'Celebs Go Dating' mansion, Wayne and Billie-Jean split up shortly after the show aired.
The first four episodes of Season 5 of 'The Circle' will be available on Netflix on Wednesday, December 28 at 3:01 am ET. The following eight episodes will be released in two parts on January 4 and 11, followed by the finale on January 18, 3 am ET. Each episode will last between 45 and 60 minutes.
