Comedian with dwarfism moved back to US from UK after 'humiliating' treatment

A comedian with dwarfism has lashed out about her experience moving to the UK, claiming she was repeatedly 'humiliated' and 'never felt more disabled' before ultimately deciding to return back to the US.

Tanyalee Davis, 52, is 3 ft and 3 inches tall and uses a mobility scooter to get around, which she says caused a huge commotion on the Underground.

David moved to the UK from the US to work on an anti-bullying campaign in schools, but found herself being repeatedly humiliated with insensitive comments from guards, lack of ramps, and cruelty from cab drivers.
