Hannah Waddingham from Ted Lasso Stands Firm Against Photographer's Inappropriate Request

"Hannah Waddingham, star of "Ted Lasso", stood up to a photographer at the Olivier Awards in London. During the event where she was hosting at the Royal Albert Hall, she refused to "show" her leg when asked on the red carpet. The incident quickly gained attention on social media as fans captured the moment when Waddingham stopped posing for pictures and addressed the photographer directly."

“Oh my god, you’d never say that to a man, my friend,” she said.

She said she would move away if they repeated the request, adding: “Don’t say ‘show me your leg.’”

Some spectators cheered as Waddingham walked off, shaking her head and reminding them to be polite.

Waddingham, hosting the Olivier Awards for the second year in a row, kicked off the event with a lively performance of "Anything Goes," highlighting her experience in London's West End theater scene.

Waddingham has become a favorite host for events due to her strong vocals and natural charm. She gained even more popularity after impressing audiences as a host of the Eurovision Song Contest last year.

Waddingham has three Olivier nominations herself.
