The Scottish winner of the new BBC hit show The Traitors has spoken out and said the win was "never about the money" adding that she "wants to see more people like me on TV" to defy bullies who mock her dwarfism and even film her in public.
Meryl Williams is 4ft 2in and has achondroplasia - so her torso is average height but her legs and arms are shorter. She said at school she wasn't treated differently however out in public admits she is often mocked and laughed at.
The 26-year-old entered the BBC gameshow, which concluded its epic finale last week, because she was sick of only seeing people with dwarfism in pantos, reports the Scottish Daily Express.
