WHITE Lotus's Natasha Rothwell is desperately hoping to return in season 4 - and has told its writer she is ready with her passport.

One of only three characters to show up in more than one iteration of the racy luxury resort series, her kindly spa boss Belinda has legions of fans.

From taking care of guests in Hawaii in its first outing, Belinda checks in to the Thai sister resort in series three to brush up her wellness skills where she is joined by hard-dealing son Zion.

Natasha, 45, who also appeared in Timothée Chalamet film Wonka, has twice been nominated for an Emmy for her portrayal of Belinda.

She says: "It's changed my life, it's a joy to play a character people love. Hotel staff come up to me and go, 'Belinda, we were rooting for you'."
