       “” star rebuked a photographer who allegedly asked her to
       “show” her leg on the red carpet at the Olivier Awards in London,
       and the moment went viral on social media.
       
       Fans captured the moment when Waddingham, who was hosting the ceremony
       at the Royal Albert Hall on Sunday, stopped posing for pictures and
       confronted the photographer.
       
       “Oh my god, you’d never say that to a man, my friend,” she said.
       
       She said she would move away if they repeated the request, adding:
       “Don’t say ‘show me your leg.’”
       
       Some of the people watching could be heard cheering as Waddingham
       walked off, shaking her head before turning back to say, “Have some
       manners.”
       
       Waddingham was hosting the Olivier Awards, the UK’s most prestigious
       theater awards, for a second consecutive year and opened the ceremony
       with a performance of “Anything Goes,” showcasing her own West End
       background.
       
       With her powerhouse vocals and easy charisma, Waddingham has become an
       increasingly popular host for such events, particularly after wowing
       audiences as one of the hosts of last year’s Eurovision Song Contest.
       
       She has picked up several Olivier nominations throughout her career,
       and has won an Emmy award for her role in “Ted Lasso.”
       
       This year, “Succession” star Sarah Snook picked up the best actress
       award for “The Picture of Dorian Gray,” a one-woman play based on
       Oscar Wilde’s classic novel, while singer Nicole Scherzinger picked
       up the best actress in a musical award for her portrayal of Norma
       Desmond in “Sunset Boulevard.”
       
       Scherzinger’s win was one of seven for “Sunset Boulevard,” which
       became the joint most-awarded musical at the ceremony, equaling the
       record held by “Matilda,” “Hamilton” and “Cabaret” in a
       single night.
