We have Sheila starring in a fantasy special over the Christmas holidays, which is something to look forward to. It'll be great to see her acting again since the untimely passing of her husband, 'Inspector Morse' actor John Thaw.

She wasn't much shorter than John at all. She's talked about the happy times they had together, and it was very enjoyable to watch and listen to their funny antics together. Once she burnt a cake and was most upset, but John soon had her in tears - of laughter!

5ft7.5. 😄👍🥞

Maybe she's shrunk from her peak height now. I've given her 5ft 6.5in.

I have seen Sheila interviewed many times, mainly in tribute programmes to her husband, the unforgettable John Thaw.
In these, she was, of course, sitting down, so I couldn't take in her height. What I did take in, though, was that she was friendly, charming and humorous.
Then I saw her playing a really controversial part and I thought "Fabulous! This woman's got balls!"
She played a gay woman outcast who befriends another of society's misfits! It is a very enjoyable story and I am going to have to try and find out what it's called because it is worth seeing again.
Now in that play, I was surprised to see how tall she was. I never saw her in her other programmes! She could have been nearly as tall as John, who as 'Inspector Morse', never looked more than 5ft8 - 8.5. I shall go with 5ft7.5 for Sheila.

I would say more around 5ft 6 now, always looked taller than her hubby in her heels back in the day
