A woman has been cleaning up in a new career cleaning people's houses in the nip.
Lottie Rae, 32, took up the role in 2017 as a way to make some extra money and has opened up about some of the more unusual aspect of her job - including some creepy clients.
She's worked with a range of clients, including some who want company and others who 'hope for something more'.

She also says she's gained more body confidence from the role, though she's in the job for the money.
Lottie, who charges £50 an hour, explained: "I wouldn't do it if I wasn't being paid the financial incentive."
Discussing the ins and outs of her side hustle, the 'free-spirited' worker added she's had to deal with some creeps while she's on the job.
"There's a fair few people who are creepy - a handful of the guys I clean for book cleaners on the premise they will get something else," she said.
"I'm clear I'm there just to clean but they'll say that other cleaners have been strippers or given massages."
Lottie added that she works with a range of clients - from older men looking for company to younger guys with disposable income who want to 'try something different'.
While most of her clients are friendly and don't overstep the mark, she says some push things too far.
"One of my clients I cleaned for three times altogether, and his house was the dirtiest house I've ever come across in my life, teeming with dirt and grime.
"But when I got there he didn't want me to clean it at all. He wasn't creepy or pervy, he just wanted some company.
"I don't even wear gloves half the time even though I know I should - if it's a really dirty house I'm a bit conscious of where I stand but usually it doesn't bother me at all."
Unfortunately, not every experience is positive. "One time a guy put porn on his TV and I had to say no. The people who are slightly creepier tend to have perfectly clean houses so it's kind of an indicator."
She added: "I've cleaned for some younger guys who seem more sociable, they're out and about and just have disposable income and want to try something different.
"Another guy I've worked with [for the whole six years] is a nudist, so to him it's right up his street.
"He's already naked when I get in, we have a coffee and I play with his dog and then get to work.
"The clients will get naked as well - a few of them are quite nervous at first and keep their clothes on until they're confident enough to take them off."
As to how she got into her line of work, Lottie picked up her first job as a naked cleaner in October 2017 after dabbling in side hustles like selling secondhand clothes. She's since started posting about her adventures on her Instagram account, @musings_from_a_naked_cleaner.
Lottie added: "My friends and family know what I do, but I think they wonder why I do it. They think all these men are weird and creepy but in general they're nice people.
"Over six years I've been in a couple of relationships and they've been completely cool with it, my current partner sound with it which is refreshing know a lot of my friend's partners wouldn't be okay with it."
