"Haha! I'm 5'9 - not that tall really"

I'm 5'9 - but with heels I'm 6ft! So yes - may need to lower the heels a bit!! :-)

Steph is a guest on 'Countdown' right now and it must be said that she gives me the impression of being tall even though she is sat down! Steph is slightly taller than Big Rob Paul and I would love to see a photograph of them both!

I have seen her listed as 6’1” on an online site!

@ Rob - I never for one minute believed that Steph McGovern was 5'4"! It is interesting to find out about her parents' heights, also I must say that 5'9" is more than just "tallish" for a woman!
Editor Rob
I think 5ft 7 is what some might call tall-ish, but 5ft 9 is a bona fide tall woman.
Nik said on 19/Oct/18
On a few sites she is said to be 5'4"!
Editor Rob
There was another quote where she said "My dad is very tall and I'm tall-ish (5ft 9)" and her Mother was 5ft.

Steph McGovern has claimed 5'8" on Twitter too!

I look forward to see the change.

I agree, Rob, completely, and just wanted to add I've seen a page later which starts off listing her stats with 6'1" while in the text below that list she's described as being 'tall, with a height of 163cm or 5'4" '. People don't seem to understand heights at all.

All Google search result says 6'1" and that is so wrong again, where do they get this stuff from?? She'd be significantly taller than most of the men she's pictured with in heels. Really, where does all the nonsense come from which site after site lists about people?
Editor Rob
that's the problem with dodgy guesses, sometimes other sites copy the dodgy ones.

So surprised she is only 5'8.5, though that is tall for a woman, just not very tall.

Looking at her sitting down this morning she has the look of a very tall woman, like at least 5 ft 10. She has that look of a 5'10-6 ft woman by the width of her shoulders and strong jaw etc..

''not that tall really"? 5'8''-5'9'' is pretty tall for a woman.

I'd think that's about right Stephen 5.9 but always looks taller with high heels on.
