'I made a conscious decision to be confident'
Fats Timbo is a content creator and comedian who's amassed an incredible three million followers on TikTok.
Born with achondroplasia, a form of dwarfism, Fats documents her experiences of being - as she describes it - ‘a little person,’ and after first apprearing on our TV screens in The Undateables back in 2018, last year she was part of Channel 4's team bringing us the Paralympics coverage from Paris.
Now, she's sharing her tips for succeeding in a world where it’s difficult to be different in her book, Main Character Energy: Ten Commandments for Living Life Fearlessly.
Fats told Woman's Hour's Krupa Padhy about her experiences of bullying growing up, and how they have shaped the person she is today.
You can listen back to the full interview on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds - it's the Woman's Hour episode from Tuesday 8 July 2025.
