The Edinburgh winner of The Traitors has quit her job after bagging a cash price.
Meryl Williams from Edinburgh took home the prize pot alongside fellow contestants Hannah Byczkowski and Aaron Evans in Thursday (December 22) night's final.
The 25-year-old has now revealed that she has left her call centre job to focus on her ambition to get into the TV industry and educate people about dwarfism.

Speaking to PA, Meryl said: "I work at a call centre as a customer service agent and I really want to break into the television and journalism industry in presenting. I'm going to use this time and money to get into that.
"I think a lot of the times with my condition a lot of people perceive and doubt me so the whole reason why I wanted to go on the show and complete all the tasks, especially the physical ones, was to show people watching back at home that I can do the exact same as everyone else."
Speaking about her time on the show, she added how shocked she was when Wilf was revealed to be a 'traitor'. Meryl and Hannah were both close to him, and didn't suspect a thing.
Meryl said: "I was in shock. I literally dropped to the floor when Wilf told us he was a traitor. I did not believe it. I felt complete shock like, 'How did you lie to me and Hannah for so long?' But it's a game and he was playing the game so well."
It's been recently reported that the reality TV game show will return next year for a second series, and Claudia Winkleman is expected to return as the host.
A TV insider has told Daily Star: "The Traitors has become a big hit after just a few weeks. It was a no-brainer to commission another series. Everyone is hoping it will be even more popular by next year and become one of the biggest shows on TV."
