This is what Teletubbies’ “sunny baby” looks like: Jessica Smith is 28 years old and hid for decades out of shame

Since its launch in the 1990s, The Teletubbies has become one of the most popular children’s shows in the world. With its four main characters in bright colors and a prairie-like landscape, the play enchanted both boys and girls.

But without a doubt, one of the most distinctive elements of the play was the smiling sun that appeared in the sky. This baby sun was played by Jessica Smith, who was just over a year old when she got the role.

During five seasons, Jessica appeared in every episode of the series and was an integral part of the lives of millions of children around the world.
