EXCLUSIVE: The Traitors winner Meryl Williams speaks to OK! about living with achondroplasia, facing discrimination, and how she navigates the obstacles of day-to-day life
The Traitors winner Meryl Williams stole hearts across the nation when she appeared the hit BBC show last year.
"The whole reason I did The Traitors is because a lot of people think people with dwarfism don't live real life. "I was scrolling on social media one day and came across these people who said they have a fear of dwarves. It made me think, 'Oh my God, people are actually scared of me.' I was so shocked. It's just an excuse to discriminate.
"It's something that I've come to terms with. Obviously I do look different and with that you will get stared at. You do experience discrimination sometimes, for example on social media. But I'm quite strong, I'm quite numb to negative comments and I think the positive outweighs the negative. "My gran alters all my clothes - she has done since I was around two, three months old, which is amazing. She's a trained seamstress, so I'll go to like Zara or something and I'll buy a jumpsuit from the adult section and she will take the sleeves up, take the trousers up, then take the waist and if need be.
