The “Ted Lasso” star has grabbed the headlines as her viral moment circulated the internet.
Though Waddingham was surprised to receive the gig in the first place. She told“I was shocked when they asked me, because I’m not a presenter by any means and I don’t pertain to be,” she said. “It’s so exciting. Coming from theater, it’s a big deal for us. Everyone always has Eurovision parties, so I was so thrilled that they asked me.”
Waddingham’s career has centered around stage, television and movie productions. She won an Emmy for her role on Apple TV Plus’s “Ted Lasso” as soccer club owner Rebecca Welton. Before that, she appeared on HBO’s “Game of Thrones” and Netflix’s “Sex Education,” and in the 2012 film adaptation of “Les Misérables.” Before her more recent hits, Waddingham was a stage actress on London’s West End and on Broadway, performing in “The Wizard of Oz,” “Spamalot” and more.
