Stacks up well with Dara O’Britain, similar to how Brian Cox looks on that science show
184-184.5cm is likelier than 183.5cm, IMO

Nathan, I think he could be that in all honesty

Wouldn't be shocked if he is more 184 -185cm. I'd still give him 6'0.5.
Andy Murray is pretty much a legit 6'2" guy imo the 187.5cm claim I'd guess was a measurement after training as he never really looks shorter than most 6'2" listed guys.
Murray did once claim to be 6'3" in shoes when asked his height by Sue Barker who actually guessed him at 6'4" so he seems an honest guy.

Rob, in fairness Kevin Costner has claimed 'six feet' as well, could Hugh be generalizing a bit as well?
He seems comfortably over a flat 6ft, at times nearer 6ft1

Editor Roba fraction over 6ft I thought was ok, but I wouldn't rule out full 184 entirely...6ft 1 though, I never thought that much the last time I looked at him.

He was half inch taller than Boyle in Mock The Week. So either hughs 6'0.5 or Frankie is slightly under 6 foot. I think the former is more likely. 6'0.5.

i'm quite notorious for downgrading celebs heights on this website but i'd give a definite exception for hugh. i would give him at least 6'0.5 or 6'0.75 because he is at least an inch taller than lee mack and looks identical in height to alex horne.

If hugh dennis is 185cm andy murray is 190cm minimum dennis is solid 6ft range tho he was taller than lee mack tho mack is likely a weak 6ft guy

Murray is undersold on here imo cant see how Murray is under 6'2 he looks 6'2.5 but I could see him actually being something like 6'2.25 and I think Hugh Dennis is 6'0.5- I agree he can look close to 6'1 he was definetely taller than Lee Mack on Not going out and Mack himself claims to be 6'0 so something is a bit off although you could say Mack might be a guy who would measure 5'11.5 and simply round up

Watching him on Taskmaster I would have guessed him closer to 6'1.

This guy has to be atleast 6ft 1. Plenty of 6ft 1 guys just say 6ft cos its quicker and they couldn't care about height.

I still think he was giving a generalised description. Idris Elba referred to himself as "six foot tall". It doesn't always mean actually 6ft. It can cover 2-3in

Rob, why the downgrade?
I thought a solid 184cm guy worst

Editor Rob his own quote is very telling, and I think when he appeared with Andy Murray, it made sense, both of their claims.

I'm really surprised he's listed so low. I always thought of him as the 6'2-6'3 range

Spot on listing. Actor who plays Jake in outnumbered is 5'9.75 and Ben is 5'11.25.

Tyger Drew Honey claims 5ft10 Chris, He doesn't look quite that tall to me, Not sure on 17 yr old Daniel Roche who plays Ben on outnumbered he could looked closish with Hugh Dennis tho was clearly shorter like you I think he could be in that 5'10- 11 range at a guess

He was still taller than the Ben character by a good couple inches in the special. Maybe 179/180 for the Ben actor and tiger could be 175 or a tad less.

Hmmm....Rob I wouldn't necessarily say that. A lot of guys say 'six feet' in somewhat general terms but are still substantially over it. Heck, Idris Elba has referred to himself as a 'six foot tall black man'. This mark isn't impossible either but I wouldn't say less.

Looked a bit more at Hugh, 6'0.5 could be good, solid 6'0- 6'1 range, He did a skit with Andy Murray before and looked maybe 2 Inches shorter and on Mock the week Murray looked 1-2 Inches taller, the vids are on Youtube, Murray who is a solid 6'2 imo clearly has him by a good couple of Inches so the 6'0.5 might be more accurate either way looks in that kinda range, His around 6ft claim looks pretty honest because he does look at least 6ft

Rob, Hugh claims to be 'around six feet' in this interview
Click Here
also interestingly enough says that he has bow legs and that if he got them fixed he'd be 2in taller!

Editor Rob hey good find, if he says that then the most I'd give him is 6ft 0.5, if he was six one he'd have said it!

Always thought he looked a classic 6'1 flat guy. 185 is spot on, bu I'm going to give him a 6'1 185 :-)
