Who is Harriet? Meet The Traitors season 4 contestant and crime writer
She's putting her barrister skills to the test.
Twenty-two hopeful new players have descended on Ardross Castle in the Scottish highlands with emo queen Claudia Winkleman at their helm for a brand new season of The Traitors.
Amongst them hoping she has what it takes to sniff out the Traitors and make it to the final and its £120,000 prize pot is Harriet.
Season 4 of the iconic BBC show has brought it with the twist of a Secret Traitor, who will don a dazzling red cloak and pull the strings behind the scenes.
As we wait to find out how the new twist will unfold, here's everything you need to know about The Traitors season 4 contestant Harriet.
Who is Harriet from The Traitors?
Age: 52
Job: Crime writer and former barrister
Location: London
Harriet is a 52-year-old crime writer and former barrister from London who has decided to conceal her occupation from the rest of the cast. Alongside her career, Harriet is a wife and mum who enjoys baking, cooking and taking care of her two dogs.
She has described herself as being so competitive that Monopoly is now banned in her household as she fears it could lead to a divorce!
Why did Harriet apply for The Traitors?
Harriet is a big fan of the show and believes that the skill set she has gained from her years as a barrister in the criminal justice system followed by her experience writing about crime will perfectly set her up to sniff out the Traitors.
"The Traitors is like the quintessence of people not being who they seem. I might bring an ability to see patterns in people's behaviour. I might be good because of my criminal barrister training at picking up on inconsistencies in what people say," she explained.
"I mean, I'm really good at putting clues together, but I say all of this and I could collapse into a puddle of angst and it might be a complete disaster."
