Hannah Waddingham has opened up about being bullied during her school years due to her height.

The 49-year-old actress, who stands at 5ft 11in, reflected on her school experiences, describing herself as 'quite shy' at the time and revealing she endured 'terrible' bullying.

Waddingham recalled being teased by classmates for her height and delivered a defiant message to those who bullied her in school.

Speaking on The Kelly Clarkson Show, she said: 'I was properly bullied. I got it terrible. I was quite shy, we're called introverted extroverts that's what it is.

'They used to tease me about my height when they were much much smaller but... in your face... look at me now!'

Hannah has skyrocketed to global fame in recent years, securing roles on Ted Lasso, Game of Thrones, and Sex Education, and went on to host Eurovision this year.
