    This Student Claims She Was The Laughing Sun Baby In The "Teletubbies"

    Jess Smith decided to break cover while making friends at university.

    Remember the giggling baby who appeared as the sun on the kids TV show Teletubbies?

    Well apparently, this is what she looks like now:

    The newspaper said Smith wrote on Facebook:

    So I've recently celebrated my 19th birthday and after a lot of thought, I've decided it's time to tell everyone.

    I used to hide it but after a lot of encouragement from my friends at university, I've gained the confidence to come out with it.

    I am the sun from Teletubbies. There has been quite a few people pretending to be "the sun" but only I could tell you the real story.

    Everyone says they can see the likeness between my face now and me as a baby. I still have a baby face. I haven't changed much either. I am still giggly.

    She reportedly also uploaded this letter from the producers of the show to her parents:

    According to the Mail, Smith (left) made her decision to come clean during an introduction session at university.

    Smith was paid just £250 for her appearance on the show but has no complaints about not receiving any royalties after it went on to become a huge hit.

    Now let's remind ourselves of the sun baby's big moment at the start of every episode:
