The Traitors is making a return with a fourth season on BBC One, promising all new twists and turns for the players and audience alike.

Over the festive period, the BBC have been teasing something rather colourful in the form of a red cloak, though what that actually means is yet to be revealed.

But before all is explained, The Traitors has unveiled who will be taking part in the series, who admittedly isn't as good as she thought when it comes to spotting a liar.

So, just who is Netty and why did she apply for The Traitors? As the series gets underway, read on for everything you need to know about the player.

Who is Netty from The Traitors?

Age: 42

Job: Nursery school teacher

Location: Glasgow

Netty is a 42-year-old nursery school teacher from Glasgow who admittedly doesn't think she acts her age.

When it comes to her job and in life, she finds herself to be "a little bit out there", and she enjoys having fun, getting along with people and seeing what happens.

Sharing a bit more about herself, Netty said: "I'm curious and I'm probably too enthusiastic at some points, but I think I'll bring some humour and silliness to it. I don't think I have a detective mode, but I like to question things and find out what's going on, so hopefully I will do a bit of that as well."

Why did Netty apply for The Traitors?

Netty applied for The Traitors because she "wanted to have some fun and do something that allowed [her] to get a little bit of [herself] back".

She added: "I like delving into people and finding out about them, so I am excited to meet everyone and get to know them."
