The Traitors: Meryl Williams hopes to launch clothing line for dwarfs

The Traitors star Meryl Williams has spoken of her delight at becoming the first person with dwarfism to win a UK reality competition after she triumphed on Thursday’s show.

Call center agent Meryl, 25, won the £101,050 prize with Aaron Evans and Hannah Byczkowski and yet says she’s achieved so much more by appearing on the series than a boosted bank account.

She told MailOnline and other outlets on Friday: ‘I am very, very proud because I am the first person with my dwarf condition to win a reality game show competition. It never happened in the UK and it never happened in America.

Proud: The Traitors star Meryl Williams, 25, has spoken of her delight at becoming the first person with dwarfism to win a UK reality competition.

“Obviously, Ellie Simmonds has been on Strictly Come Dancing, but no one in my condition has ever won.

“The only reason I went on this show is so people can educate themselves, watch it, see that I did the exact same thing as everyone else, and then realize that I’m the exact same thing.”

Meryl said she hoped to change people’s minds about people with dwarfism by being on a high-profile show like The Traitors.

New starts? The TV personality went on to say that she would consider launching her own clothing line after appearing on the show.

She continued: “There are some fixed stereotypes and a lot of hilarity with my condition with pantomime, for example, so I wanted people to see me doing normal things and competing on a level playing field with everyone else and with no advantages or disadvantages.

“That’s all I wanted so people could see it and I also wanted to make my family proud.”

Traitors: The BBC’s The Traitors came to a close on Thursday as Hannah Byczkowski, Aaron Evans and Meryl Williams won the massive £101,050 prize fund, split evenly between them.

While you currently shop at major high street chains, you can’t wear the clothes unless they are altered to fit you.

Asked if he would launch his own company, he said: ‘I say yes to everything, definitely!

‘I still shop at medium-sized stores like Zara. I think I keep them in business!

‘My grandmother alters my clothes. My grandmother is a trained seamstress, so she’ll take my long-legged pants, she’ll cut off my legs and hem them so they look exactly like everyone else.

‘Then simple things like cargo pants, you know how the pockets are supposed to go down to the thighs? She will take the pockets and move them up. So she is literally my best friend!

“I’m a size 8 to 10 so I shop in stores like everyone else, but I think that’s not the case for everyone with my condition because not everyone has a grandmother who is a tailor.”

‘Shoes too because I’m a size one and it’s a nightmare to find shoes.’

The BBC’s The Traitors came to a close on Thursday when Aaron, Hannah and Meryl won the massive prize pool of £101,050, split evenly between them.

It was a close decision for all three winners after Wilfred Webster nearly made it before being caught when he and fellow traitor Kieran Tompsett turned on each other.
