2023-01-06

The Traitors winner Meryl Williams appeared on Friday's episode of Good Morning Britain to talk about her life since winning an incredible £33K on the hit BBC One show.

Only recently, "Faithfuls" Aaron Evans, Meryl and Hannah Byczkowski were crowned the winners with "Traitors" Wilfred Webster and Kieran Tompsett banished.

And Meryl appeared on Friday's Good Morning Britain to talk about life since winning the show, revealing she hadn't spent any of her prize money.

The TV star said she is keeping the £33K as a "safety blanket" to try different things and is hoping to fulfil her dream of becoming a presenter.

Also during the show, Meryl revealed her grandmother's hidden talent, sharing that she is a seamstress and alters all her clothing.

Meryl, who has dwarfism, said: "I love Zara, I shop in adult clothes, I'm a size 8-10. My gran alters all my clothes, she will literally take in a full length pair of trousers and sew it.

"She's a seamstress so she's been altering my clothes since I was three-months-old. She's from South Africa but now lives in the UK, she alters everything.

"This trench coat, was full lined – she'll cut it, move the pockets up, the trousers as well."

Meryl added: "Clothes are a way of expressing yourself and identity. It's something I've always wanted to do and I think maybe I would go into that, making clothes more accessible for people with my condition and even shoes as well.

"I love heels but I have to pay £200 for a pair of custom-made heels, it's not fair as my friends are like: 'I got this pair for £20!'"

Meryl revealed she has quit her call centre job as well and is hoping to become a TV presenter and plans to get tips from the show’s host Claudia Winkleman.

She also feels the competition has helped with her independence and confidence and given her a platform to educate people about her dwarfism.

She said: "I think a lot of the times with my condition a lot of people perceive and doubt me.

"So the whole reason why I wanted to go on the show and complete all the tasks, especially the physical ones, was to show people watching back at home that I can do the exact same as everyone else."
