Did you know one of the stars of the latest series of The Traitors grew up in Watford?

Jade Scott is listed as being from the West Midlands when her name pops up on the smash hit BBC game show.

However, the Watford Observer understands she grew up in the Hertfordshire town before moving for university.

The 26-year-old is currently working towards a PhD in women’s health and pregnancy at the University of Warwick, Coventry, according to TVGuide.

Asked why she went on the show, Jade said: “I play a lot of video games which are similar to The Traitors, so I just thought ‘why would I not?’ as I do it in my spare time anyway.”

The keen gamer describes herself as someone with "good problem solving abilities" and hopes this will help her navigate the missions and overall game.

Hosted by Claudia Winkleman, the programme follows a group of 22 contestants – the majority of whom are known as faithfuls – as they try to seek out the murderous traitors among them who kill off players in the middle of the night in an attempt to win a cash prize of up to £120,000.

It appears Jade is a faithful so far but, with the addition of a secret traitor whose identity is unknown to the viewers this year, her true allegiance remains unclear.
