Olivier Awards host Hannah Waddingham called out a photographer on Sunday night’s red carpet after she was asked to ‘show a leg.’
Video shared by a fan on X captures the moment the Ted Lasso star, 49, was posing outside the Royal Albert Hall before a photographer apparently requested she ‘show leg.’
The photographer’s remarks are inaudible but Hannah is seen shouting over to the crowd of photographers: ‘Oh my God, you’d never say that to a man, my friend.’
As fans applaud her she then threatens to leave if the comments continue saying: ‘Don’t say “show me leg.” No.’
Walking away Hannah continued to argue with the snapper, pointing at him and adding ‘have some manners’.

Hannah hosted Sunday night’s Olivier Awards, which celebrated another stellar year of UK theatre.
She wowed in a custom Marchesa gown, adorned with sparkling embellishments on the semi-sheer gown for her red carpet moment before making three outfit changes during the glittering ceremony.
Sunset Boulevard came out on top with an impressive seven wins, while Sarah Snook and Andrew Scott’s play also won big.
Nicole Scherzinger was handed the Best Actress in a Musical prize for her performance in Sunset Boulevard while her leading co-star Tom Francis took home the Best Actor in a Musical gong.
Jamie Lloyd won the Sir Peter Hall Award for Best Director and the show also won Best Musical Revival.
Elsewhere, Jack Knowles took home the White Light Award for Best Lighting Design; Alan Williams won for the Outstanding Musical Contribution award for his musical supervision & musical direction and Adam Fisher won the d&b audiotechnik Award for Best Sound Design.
Pop star Nicole joked that she first wanted to thank God for stopping her from tripping on the way to accept her Best Actress in a Musical gong.
The US actress and singer also said that she ‘was coming for blood’ on Broadway ahead of her taking Sunset Boulevard to New York.

She said ‘thank God for saving me from that trip right there’, before adding that she was ‘nothing without him’.
The Pussycat Dolls singer also said that ‘coming from really humble beginnings I always wanted to be a singer and do musicals’.
She added that she wanted to do ‘so many roles’ and joked that the failing Hollywood star, Norma Desmond, depicted in the musical was not ‘one of them’.
After weeks of accolades it was almost inevitable that Sarah Snook might lead the winners as the 2024 Olivier Awards got underway on Sunday evening – and so it proved as the Australian star was named Best Actress, and rightly so.
Snook – best known for her starring role in HBO series Succession – scooped the award for her mesmerising one-woman performance in a new West End production of Oscar Wilde’s The Picture Of Dorian Gray.
The Australian actress takes all 26 roles in the production, among them Basil Hallward, Sibyl Vane and of course Gray himself.
Elsewhere there was triumph of sorts for Andrew Scott, who surprisingly lost out on the award for Best Actor but found himself among the winners after VANYA, director Stephen Simon’s contemporary rendering of the Anton Chekhov classic, claimed the award for Best Revival during the event at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
