Richard Madeley’s stint on The Circle gets even more epic tonight as he discovers the aubergine emoji for the first time and, judging by his reaction, has clearly never sent one.
The TV presenter joins in with a game of Dick Pics on Sunday evening, in which each player must successfully identify a famous Dicks or Richards, following a description from another player.
But poor Richard is clearly not down with the millennial age as he struggled to correctly identify the aubergine emoji, typically used in saucy messages.
When confronted with the suspiciously-shaped vegetable, Richard worried about his lack of emoji knowledge and wondered: ‘What’s that, marrow, courgette, I should have done emoji homework?’
Oh, bless. This endearing yet somewhat awkward.
As the game went on, Richard managed to identify a few well-known Dicks – from Van Dyke to spotted – while he also guessed Cressida from Georgina describing a police woman.
Richard, who is pretending to be a 27-year-old woman named Judy, might have his cover blown though as Woody later wonders if ‘Judy is a very intelligent man claiming to be a girl’.
DAILY DROP! Can the Players identify Richard in a game of Dick Pics? ?

Those cheeky Circle producers had a little fun when it came to Richard’s turn as he got himself – Richard Madeley.
‘When he’s not serving up breakfast he’s got his face stuck in a book,’ read the description.
After successfully catfishing his fellow contestants so far, Richard is played at his own game in a game of popularity.
The TV star is given 24 hours to get the seven other players to turn against him and get him blocked.
Although, it could be a little easier said than done though – considering Woody is already pretty infatuated with the newcomer, and Tim literally couldn’t hate anyone.
Richard has, of course, been an absolute hit on this series of The Circle and had everyone in hysterics with his twerking attempts in a virtual reality capture suit, which is undoubtedly a highlight of 2019.
The Circle continues tonight at 10pm on Channel 4.
