The Traitors winner Meryl Williams harassed by bullies who ‘laugh and film’ her

The Traitors winner Meryl Williams has opened up about being harassed by bullies who would 'laugh and film' her due to her disability.

The Edinburgh local has said that entering the show 'was never about the money' noting that she 'wants to see more people like me on TV' to defy the trolls. After winning the show alongside Aaron Evans and Hannah Byczkowski each contestant took home £33,000 which Meryl wants to use to help her break into the TV industry.

Meryl, 26, has quit her job working in a call centre after winning a third of the jackpot to focus on presenting work and journalism. Breaking boundaries and stigma around disabilities is a cause close to Meryl's heart, as she recently opened up about the bullying she has faced in public.
