Ashley James on Hannah Waddingham calling out that photographer is a minute very well spent
Here’s the perfect post-script to the wonderful Hannah Waddingham calling out that photographer who asked her to ‘show some leg’.
The actress, singer and presenter was on the red carpet ahead of hosting the Olivier theatre awards on Sunday when this happened.

And basically the entire internet stood up and applauded.
if i was a professional photographer and hannah waddingham had just gracefully schooled me on how to behave with respect in front of everyone, i’d change careers, name and leave the country pic.twitter.com/dfrRg9sZRF

“My Dad taught me to call out misogyny from a young age. I think it’s important that when you see someone behaving badly, you call them out and batter them over the head with it.“ – Hannah Waddingham https://t.co/b9LeJTEyCy

"You would never say that to a man."
There are days when I wake up thinking 'there's no way I could love Hannah Waddingham more today', and then she pulls this out of the bag.(Context in case you haven't seen this story – photographer shouted for her to show a bit of leg.) https://t.co/9KdKF5NiZr

And broadcaster and former reality TV star Ashley James – who memorably schooled her fellow This Morning guest Gyles Brandreth on the meaning of ‘woke’ just last week – had the prefect last word.
‘I do think it’s a wider issue with the media in general, and how they do objectify women.’

For a second there we thought Brandreth was going to interrupted with ‘But they call it chestfeeding!’.
Anyone else think This Morning should just be two hours of Ashley James commenting on the newspapers? She’s bloody brilliant https://t.co/MABVnEBzX9

Ashley James is becoming my favourite person ever the way she shows her support for many topics & doesn't back down. She is a brilliant ally
