THE Scottish winner of hit BBC show The Traitors has spoken out over facing discrimination on an “everyday basis” due to a condition affecting her height, adding that she “wants to see more people like me on TV” to educate the public.
Edinburgh-based Meryl Williams has achondroplasia, meaning her torso is average size but her legs and arms are shorter, resulting in her being 4ft 2in.
She says she took part in the gameshow, which concluded last week, because she was sick of only seeing people with her condition in pantos, according to the Scottish Daily Express.
