The Circle UK aired its series three finale on Friday night, with Felix aka Natalya crowned the winner.
Sailing through the entire series as a catfish, following their arrival in episode five, Natalya got the votes she needed to win the whole show.
The result came as a surprise to many, with three other players tipped to take the crown - while many were thrilled by the announcement.
Manrika, Syed aka Hashu and Andy had been early favourites, and all three were predicted to win the show and the prize money of £100,000.
But ultimately it was the catfish, and a very likeable one at that, who stormed to victory.
The 30-year-old military police officer from Surrey entered as Felx, and managed to fool pretty much everyone in the game right to the end.
One person tricked was Circle "girlfriend" Manrika, who believe Felix was genuine after striking up a relationship with him.
Viewers of course knew the entire time that Felix was actually Natalya, and it almost seemed as though the player herself forgot Felix wasn't real at times.
That said, she proved to be one of the best players the show has ever seen as the episodes went by with her skills not only in tricking the others, but exposing the others.
She managed to work out other catfishes and agendas, all the while hiding her own until everyone came face-to-face.
As the final vote took place, host Emma Willis confirmed Natalya as the winner and she was gobsmacked.
She joked: "I must play a good man!"
Natalya added: "If I was me, I would have been gone. I had to be the perfect man. What I see everyday at work is what I created."
It was actually Circle lover Manrika that was in a tie with Natalya for first place, with equal votes from the other players.
But in the end it was Felix who scored the most first place votes in the final ratings, ultimately making player Natalya the winner.
The Circle is available now on All 4.
