CHEEKY: Freddie is famous for his daft antics

NATALYA Platonova feels guilty about winning The Circle.

The military police officer took the £100,000 prize after “catfishing” by pretending to be a man called Felix on the game show based around social media.

In Friday night’s final she was stunned when a giant screen revealed the result. Natalya, 30, said: “It is an amazing feeling but you do have a bit of guilt that comes with it.”

During the show she struck up a “romance” with rival Manrika Khaira while posing as Felix – and Natalya’s victory got a mixed reaction from viewers.

One said she was “a deserving winner, arguably one of the best catfishes who’s been on this show”.

But another added: “Definitely the wrong winner. Never wanted Felix to win.”
