WOODY Cook hopes his stint on reality show The Circle means he’ll no longer have to live in the shadow of his parents.

The 18-year-old, who went to school in Brighton, said he has always hated the attention he gets because he’s the son of Fatboy Slim and Zoe Ball.

He told the Daily Star: “People have always had a pre-conceived idea about me.

“They’ve assumed I’m like Brooklyn Beckham and Jaden Smith… people with famous parents who play off it… people who live in that shadow and do deals with brands even though they didn’t earn that.

“If they hadn’t been born in that family, they wouldn’t be there.

“So when people meet me, sometimes they’re predisposed to dislike me.

“That’s something I’ve wanted to shake off a bit. So now I’m happy people can see me for who I am.”

Woody spent almost a month cut off from the outside world as part of the Channel 4 show.

He finished in fifth place at the final on Friday.

Mum Zoe was in the crowd to see him leave the apartment.
