Hannah Waddingham lives up to her icon status as she hilariously enjoys Wimbledon match

Hannah Waddingham is known for her hilarious antics

There was nobody enjoying Wimbledon like Game of Thrones star Hannah Waddingham.

The tennis grand slam has had a star-studded audience this year - with David Beckham, Rebel Wilson, Kim Cattrall, David Attenborough, and former prime minister Theresa May spotted in the stands.

She showed up to the event on Wednesday 3 June in full glam (as usual) and flaunted her amazing self off as she entered the building.

Wearing her famous smile, the actress was there to have some fun and fans loved her for it.

The award-winning star was clearly engrossed while watching the players during their second round.

But what was perhaps the highlight of the event wasn’t who won, it was the Ted Lasso star’s reaction to what was happening in front of her.

She even laughed about it on her Instagram account, posting her paparazzi pics to her story and writing: “And there’s me thinking I was sitting at Centre Court looking like an elegant lady.

“Who could ask for a better day?”

One person wrote: “Our queen being so unserious is everything....!”

Another said: “The queen of showing off emotions. Love her!”

Someone else wrote: “Simply stunning. Class all the way.”

This isn't the first time Waddingham's goofiness has made headlines.

When she lost a BAFTA nomination to Strictly Come Dancing, she was ready to make the crowd laugh.

It was in May of this year when the star was eagerly waiting to see if she would go home with the award, but it wasn’t to be.

It was when the cameras turned to her, she had something already prepared - something up her sleeve, I should say.

Waddingham was hilariously wearing some kind of flask-bracelet hybrid.

So as the Strictly cast celebrated their win, the star unscrewed the lid and took a glug of something, probably alcoholic.

Truly earning that 'icon' status, she even cheers'd the cameras afterwards.

One user wrote on X: "HANNAH WADDINGHAM’s reaction to losing to Strictly was just amazing."

Another echoed: "Hannah Waddingham drinking out her bracelet. ICON."

A third added: "Not Hannah with the hip flask bracelet QUEEEN!!"

So many said they were 'obsessed' with the invention as someone else commented: "She may not have won the award but Hannah Waddingham just won in our hearts for best accessory."

She also managed to get Stephen Colbert to laugh his head off when talking about her awful time on GoT.

For those unaware, Waddingham played Septa Unella in season five and six of Game of Thrones, where she had one particular traumatic experience.

It was when she was 'waterboarded for 10 hours'.

In an interview on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Waddingham admitted that being involved in the scene later gave her 'chronic claustrophobia'.

The funny woman went on to explain how it’s all part of the job and the crowd went wild for it.

So anywhere she goes she’s a star.
