When your CV articulates that your rise to fame saw you superimposed into the middle of the Sun in the 1997 children’s show, The Teletubbies, we wonder about your future prospects.

But, not for this gal. The former giggling baby Sun (as in the actual Sun in the show) has ditched her mates Tiny Winky, Dipsy, Laa Laa and Po, to reveal herself to fans.

‘The Sun’ better known as Jess Smith, has dashed the efforts of many imposters. She made this announcement on Facebook: “I used to hide it but, after a lot of encouragement from my friends at university, I’ve come out with it. I am the Sun from Teletubbies. There have been quite a few people pretending to be ’the sun’, but only I could tell you the real story.” Fair play.
