Irish influencer and disability activist Paddy Smyth says he's still 'in shock' after winning the latest series of The Circle.
The 31-year-old, who was born with cerebral palsy in both legs, won £70,000 after receiving the highest ratings from his fellow contestants.
Paddy was a latecomer to the show where contestants all live in the same apartment block but can only communicate via a social media platform 'The Circle'.
The Circle allows them to create their own identity, or to play as themselves in a bid to become the most popular contestant.
Last night's final saw Paddy, Tim, Woody, Georgina and Sammie battle it out, with Paddy eventually being crowned winner.
Meanwhile Tim, who was tipped to win the top prize, was voted the Viewers Champion by the public, and won himself £30k.
Speaking to The Sun online, Paddy said ""I am in shock. I just can’t believe as a newcomer I actually did it."
Irish viewers might recognise Paddy from RTE's The Fitting Room and First Dates Ireland.
