On Daleβs Supermarket Sweep today, there was a guy bouncing around like a grasshopper! He came back with a frozen meal which didnβt even have the relevant label on it, so he scored nothing. He was a good deal shorter than his mate and I think it was mentioned that he was a policeman.
They should be methodical!

Dale was getting his sexes mixed up on Supermarket Sweet this morning, causing everyone to laugh!
Yes, OriginalAnon - Dale is missed, but you can still catch him on Challenge.
6ft1.5. π―

187 was possible for Winton. Great presenter. Definitely missed.

I'm watching 'Supermarket Sweep' on the Challenge Channel and all six contestants today are girls, so Dale simply towers over them! It's always interesting to see how much groceries used to cost back in those days. I'm glad the show has been reinvented, this time with Rylan Clark-Neil hosting it, and he's even taller - and every bit as charming.
6ft1.5 for the late star. π―οΈ

@ Flint - Hi! I don't think Dale could have ever been described as 'imposing'! He was far too genuine a person and effortlessly NICE! It came as no surprise that when I tuned into the Challenge Freeview Channel this weekend, they were hosting shows of his, and not just Supermarket Sweep! The same was done when Bruce Forsyth died. What a great way of remembering the stars who have passed away!

Interestingly, Jeremy Vine said on his radio show (on 19th April 2018) yesterday that Dale was taller than him, and suggested 6β4β. Maybe Vine is shorted than 6β2β, or Dale was imposing and gave off a larger than life impression.

Yes, I always assumed Dale was at about the 6' 1" mark, or thereabouts. In photos with his friend David Walliams (listed here as 6' 2"-and-a-half), Dale appeared to bea couple of inches shorter... Dale and Supermarket Sweep were part of my childhood. He was always entertaining to watch and he seemed like such a kind, warm and genuine man. May he Rest In Peace.

R.I.P Dale Winton. He was such a lovely man.

Sad loss to television. He was always entertaining. I think 186cm is arguable at worst
Sandy Cowell said on 19/Apr/18
What a terrible shame - I can't believe it. He was such a chirpy, cheerful fellow and always appeared happy, which rubbed off on everyone else.
One can still watch Supermarket Sweep on the 'Challenge' Channel sometimes, in case anybody is interested.
6ft1.5 for him. π’
RIP Dale xxx
Sadly missed.

RIP. I liiked watching his Supermarket Sweep show from the 90s. pictures in Daily Mail - investigation into his death - today with David Walliams, shows Dale to be about 6ft perhaps 5ft11 , He looks three inches shorter than Walliams and Walliams is leaning in to. Walliams could be talker than his claim of 6ft2 he always looks taller.

Can look 188cm at times

6'2 is about right. He always looks taller than everyone who stands next to him on Supermarket Sweep.
Arch Stanton said on 4/Feb/13
i thought he always looked near 6'2" personally...

Claimed 6'1.5" on In It To Win It.
Godred said on 10/Nov/11
6 ft maybe 6`1 never 6`2 even in shoes.
Kurt said on 14/Apr/08
I saw him in London recently. I'm 6'3" and he seemed considerably shorter than me. I would put him nearer the 6'1" mark. He has a very upright posture though.

When I asked Dale how tall he was in 1979 his reply was 6' 3 and a half", so he must have shrunk
andyf said on 12/Apr/06
well, he seemed to tower over everyone except, of course, Jeff Rudin on this year's final of CFC. He seemed at least 2" taller than Bobby George, and I always thought Bobby George to be 6'2". That makes Winton 6'4". But it could be his shoes and camera angles making the difference.
TheMan said on 1/Jan/06
Yeah must be 6,2 maybe even 6,3 becuase he towered over the 6,0 andy forden on celebrity fit club.
John Schneider said on 12/Dec/05
