"But it was still the best decision and I'm so glad I've done it. I'm glad I've just got it out of the way. It's something that I wouldn't want to have to go through again."

She was greeted with overwhelming support from fans in the comments, who shared how they admire her confidence and that she is looking 'radiant' 'I got on the train, they sat opposite me because I'm sitting on the seats with tables, and so far they've said that I need a stepladder to get on the train, I'm a midget, they've watched dwarf throwing, they've taken videos of me, they've taken photos of me, they said I've got sausage fingers, and they've laughed at me.' The Scottish influencer admitted she was staying in the toilet until they left the train, and condemned fellow passengers for not stepping in. She added: 'This is all in the space of 10 minutes. I'm on my own right now. Everyone around me has witnessed this, heard this, and no one's said anything. I don't know what to do. 'So I thought, I know they're getting off at Durham, and they got on at Newcastle, so if you know these people, let me know, four teenagers… so I'm gonna wait in the toilet until the Durham stop, then I'll go out.' Meryl has a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia which affects the growth of cartilage and can lead to a larger forehead.
