Fats Timbo: “They Put Me In A Bin Because I Was Different”13 Aug48 min

This week on Spill With Will, I’m joined by the incredible Fats Timbo for one of our most honest, emotional and inspiring conversations yet. 💖

Fats opens up about growing up as a little person, struggling to understand why she looked different from everyone around her, and the bullying she experienced at school, including a heartbreaking moment where a group of boys put her inside an industrial bin.

We talk about how those experiences shaped her confidence, the journey to accepting herself, and how she turned years of feeling different into one of her biggest strengths.

Fats also gets real about:

✨ Being stared at in public and constantly feeling like she stands out

✨ The everyday accessibility barriers little people and disabled people face

✨ Why Disability Pride Month still doesn’t get enough recognition

✨ The lack of disability representation in the beauty and influencer industry

✨ Being fetishised while dating

✨ Learning to love yourself and protect your peace

✨ Turning adversity into confidence

✨ Her journey from TikTok to TV, Loose Women and meeting huge celebrities
