Irish Social Media sensation Eric Roberts chatted to Louise Clarke from The Hub on iRadio about his time inside Squid Game: The Challenge.
With over 100,000 applicants applying, the Irish TikTok Star was lucky to make it on the list of the final 456 contestants
If you use TikTok, you will likely already know the name Eric Roberts very well. One of Ireland’s most followed male influencers, Eric has found huge success this year since, after stepping away from his job as a special needs assistant to pursue content creation full-time.
Eric has had an amazing year of firsts, but today he can finally break his silence on participating in Netflix’s new reality series with a multi-million jackpot: ‘Squid Game: The Challenge’.
Hype has been building online and in Irish press over the last week about Eric’s role in the Netflix reality series, after Goss.ie broke the news last week, due to spotting the Irish social star in the Netflix released trailer.
'Squid Games: The Challenge' is tipped to be the biggest reality show of all time. With nearly 5 million dollars on the line, Eric and the other 455 contestants will be pushed to their limits.
The show was filmed in January 2023 in London and Netflix spared no expense with mind-blowing sets and a totally immersive experience. 456 people from all around the world, all hoping to make it past the first game.
Game one was the famous red light green light challenge, where half of the total contestants will immediately be knocked out. Eric proudly represents Ireland and his hometown of Donegal, as he competes against the rest of the world. Due to agreements with Netflix, Eric had to keep his involvement a secret all year, telling only some close friends and family. With a loyal following online of over 800,000, Eric knew the word would spread fast if the news broke.
