Hannah Waddingham is returning to our screens in her Apple TV+ Christmas special later this month – and we can’t wait for the Ted Lasso star to bring the festive cheer with her hour-long extravaganza. 

It’s been a big year for Hannah. Not only did she bid farewell to her Ted Lasso character Rebecca Welton in the third and final season, but she also co-hosted the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest.

While Hannah found fame through her roles in Game of Thrones, Sex Education, and of course, Ted Lasso, she has been a leading lady on stage for over 20 years. The London-born star made her West End debut in a production of Charles Aznavour’s Lautrec in 2000 – and she looks completely different! 

The then-25-year-old can be seen donning red hair in a photo taken of a performance at the Shaftsbury Theatre. Hannah played the role of Suzanne Valadon in the musical, starring alongside Sevan Stephan.

From there, Hannah went on to portray Christine Warner in Andrew Lloyd Webber and Ben Elton’s The Beautiful Game, before playing the role of Satan in Tonight’s the Night: The Rod Stewart Musical at the Victoria Palace Theatre.

The performer has since starred in productions of Into The Woods, Kiss Me Kate, The Wizard of Oz, and Spamalot, for which she earned an Olivier Award nomination.

As for her screen career, Hannah landed her first TV role in the 2000 sitcom Coupling. She then went on to appear in episodes of Not Going Out, Marple, M.I. High and Bad Education.

In 2014, she played the role of Tonya in the ITV comedy series, Benidorm, before gaining wider fame for her portrayal of Septa Unella, the iconic ‘Shame Nun’, in seasons five and six of Game of Thrones.

Soon afterwards, Hannah landed a recurring role in Netflix’s Sex Education, playing Jackson’s mum, Sophia Marchetti.

Her most notable performance, however, came in 2020 when she played Rebecca Welton in Apple TV+’s hit comedy-drama, Ted Lasso, which ran for three seasons. 

Since then, Hannah has appeared in Hocus Pocus 2, the ITV miniseries Tom Jones, and the animated sitcom, Krapopolis.

“Getting glammed up and spending time with loved ones and family is something I look forward to the most, so filming this campaign really got me in the festive spirit.”
