6-3 is plain no. Looks 6-1. 6-2 looks a stretch imo.

@Cold Water: Interesting photo...don’t know what the grounds like in that photo. I’m not sure the difference between Brian and Mark is that big in other photos but 2in is possible. Mark at 181cm could potentially push Brian to 186-187cm zone but 190cm? Don’t know about that. His 6ft2-3 claim could be in shoes. He definitely can look over a flat 6ft1.

I've always guessed a 6'1 for him. He has a big legs-torso ratio that makes him seem so much taller, that made me question could he be around 6'2-3ish from the pictures. A solid 6'1, maybe 6'1½ in a very very good day

Starting to believe he could be a it under 185cm, but it can't be by much if he is. 184/185cm.

legit 6-1. I don't think people realize just how tall a true 6'1 is. of course, due to all the height inflation and lying, people think 6-1 is average. its not, in reality most people are 1/2-1 1/2 inches from 6-1

I’ve seen him several times in Manchester pre lockdown. I’m 6-3. I’d honestly say he’s 6-1. Or maybe just 6-1. Could be shy of it. I felt definitely taller than him in bar I worked.

I reckon 6 ft 1 and a half (186.7cm). He's in the middle of Google's claim of 6 ft 2 (188cm) and this website's claim. But probably not 6 ft 3.

Looks like a legit 6ft guy can't say he ever looks 6ft2. Mark Foster swimmer had 6 inches on him on TV.

I think he must be 186 cm perfectly. The problem is that in Westlife they tried to make it out to not leave the others short. The pics were very carefully taken to not make him stand out a lot, lots of tricks with angles and positions.

Tallest in west life Micky is about 5"9 Shane 5"8 Mark about 5"11-6ft and Cain definitely 5"8 I've seen him in public and he looks a legit 6"1 and also he was wearing flat footwear and I'd say he could reach 6"2 with heeled trainers

Rob the thing is he does actually look it here with Alan Hansen! Click Here I'd always had Hansen down as a legit 6'2". Click Here With Redknapp he does look near it as his posture is poor.

As a slight correction to my earlier post, the reality show is called "Who's Doing the Dishes". Oops, my bad but it just started this week.

On an episode of the new reality show 'Who's Going to Do the Dishes' he stood next to celeb host for the episode Bobby George, and they were pretty much the same height, particularly with Bobby's relaxed posture.
So I'd say 6ft - 6ft 0,5, certainly no more than 6ft1, and that upper end would be with solid footwear.

6ft1/185cm looks too low. I think he could be 6ft1.5/187cm, maybe even a weak 6ft2. His claim is in shoes.

6 ft 3 is certainly laughable. James Redmond back left in that photo I think said he was 6 ft 3 on a Saturday morning breakfast show back in the late 90s and looks it. He's easily 2 inches taller than McFadden.

I always thought 6 ft 2 seem a stretch for him. Yeah Niall Quinn I saw him as a commentator on something not long ago and I thought he looked 6'5"-6'6", I remember him being listed at 6 ft 4 back in the Premier League sticker days. That's a proper very tall bloke!!

Mike says: My son is 6ft 1/2in and he said he towered over him, by at least an inch or maybe more.

Ok so now, being 1"-2" taller then someone is towering. These descriptions are getting ridiculous.

He was noticeably taller then all his ex-westlife band members, which gives the impression he was taller then he actually is.

Editor Rob sometimes I think he looks 6ft 1, then sometimes he can look just 6 foot range, for the moment I'll leave him at 6ft 1

@Rob Do you think he maybe has lost some height since the Westlife days?
He gained a lot of weight since his Westlife days, he used to be handsome in 1999, funny how age can change peoples looks so drastically!

Editor Rob I doubt he's lost height, actually I just looked at photos and he's shorter than a model (who is down as 5ft 10.5) when she stands tall in heels...so he really can be 6ft-6ft 1 range.
