‘Ted Lasso’ star Hannah Waddingham calls out photog for telling her to ‘show me leg’ on red carpet: ‘Don’t be a d–k’

Hannah Waddingham delivered a lesson in manners.

The “Ted Lasso” actress, 49, walked the red carpet at the Olivier Awards on Sunday night where she had a few choice words for a photographer who suggested she “show me leg” for the cameras.

“Oh my God, you’d never say that to a man, my friend,” she shouted in response to the request, according to a video one fan shared on X (formerly Twitter). “Don’t be a d—k, otherwise I’ll move off. Don’t say ‘show me leg.’ No.”

Waddingham walked away from the photographer, but made sure to leave him with another warning just before entering Royal Albert Hall.

“Don’t say ‘show me leg.’ No,” she said, as fans cheered her on.

Waddingham, who stunned while wearing a custom Marchesa gown, proceeded to walk inside for the event, but stopped to have one more word with the photographer, who she told to “‘have some manners.”

The “Game of Thrones” alum hosted the 2024 awards show, marking the second time she’s hosted the event.

According to the Daily Mail, Former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger and “Succession” actress Sarah Snook both won big on Sunday.

Scherzinger took home the best actress in a musical award for her performance in “Sunset Boulevard” while Snook accepted the best actress prize for her role in “The Picture of Dorian Gray.”

Waddingham also made three outfit changes during the ceremony — a move she also made for the SAG Awards where she quickly changed out of her red, off-the-shoulder gown from Tony Ward Couture to make a different statement alongside her “Ted Lasso” co-stars, Jason Sudeikis, Brett Goldstein and Juno Temple.

The group sported a matching set of Nike tracksuits that featured the logo for AFC Richmond, which is the fictional soccer team from the series.

Waddingham starred on the Apple TV series as Rebecca Welton for all three seasons of the show and won the 2021 Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series during its run.
