I'm five foot four and I'm nine stone but I've been over 10. When I was at drama school I got so fat. Then I discovered slimming pills. Basically they were amphetamines.

I saw Zoe’s Inspector Morse again yesterday. It was called ‘Fat Chance’. Zoe played a recently widowed Mum of two, and Morse liked her!
5ft3 peak and 5ft2.25 now. 😁💐

I believe she was 5ft 4 peak and shrunk to 5ft 3 no way has she got as low as 5ft 2 as she never looks that much shorter than robert lindsay whether in heels or not 5ft 4 peak

I have read that Zoë was described as 5’3” in her autobiography!
53 is a prime number!

I was hoping Zoë might pop up as a random celeb while I'm watching her on 'Inspector Morse', but things like that only happen AFTERWARDS, unless you're very lucky. (It's has happened before...)
Well, Zoë looks rather petite next to John Thaw. I'd say she was just under 5ft3 at that time.
She can have 5ft3 for her peak and an inch less for today's height. 💐

I have seen her husband Gawn Grainger listed as 1.68 m online and I have also read that he is from Glasgow!
Zoë was born on the 13-5-1949 and she is 71 years of age! Interestingly 13,5,1949, and 71, are all prime numbers!

We could always ask her, Paul! 😃
I agree her peak was 5ft3 (day's low) and today, judging from the above picture, no more than 5ft2.

I'd say 5ft 3in was her peak height rather than half an inch over, but who will ever know for sure now?

Zoe has been in so many great productions, I am surprised she doesn't have any comments yet. She was famous long before 'My Family', appearing in countless TV shows and films, including 'Inspector Morse' and many more. She is worth Googling at some stage, that's for certain!
I go for 5ft2.25 for today's height and 5ft3.5 for her height once upon a time!
