Who is Rachel? Meet The Traitors season 4 contestant and head of communications

**Warning: Contains spoilers for The Traitors season 4**

The Traitors returns tonight for what has been teased as the "most explosive" in the show's history.

Sources have claimed that tonight's episode (8th January) is "very dramatic" as pressure mounts for those remaining in the castle.

One of those players is Rachel, who has so far done a good job of avoiding being detected as a Traitor.
