MET HIM! 5'7" ! i am a legit and scientificly measured "172.5 cm" ( a little under 5'8" ) and he was DEFINETLY shorter than me in a pair of K-Swiss trainers.

The odd thing is that I've heard several celebrities, particularly female ones, mention how small O'Leary is. Usually the comment is something like "He's so lovely! But soooo small!" I know that 5'8" isn't particularly tall, but I'd still be surprised to hear so many "short" comments about someone who is 5'8". Even a 5'8" guy should be able to best most females for height, but O'Leary regularly gets dominated. Any chance of 5'7"?

id say on oleary he's probably 5,8 when he first gets up but he's no more than about 5,7.5 normally.

He is shorter than the lsited height. Leona lewis was 2 inches taller than him in heels. But when shes with simon shes an inch short than him. Hes 5`7 no more and no less!
Jackalar says on 26/Aug/07
Video of him talking to Fearne Cotton on Xtra Factor Click Here She looks slightly taller than him and she's listed as 5ft6.
Fluffy says on 24/Aug/07
My boyfriend bumped into him at V and said that he doesn't think he's much taller than 5'5". I had a dream about him once and he was horrible to me in my dream, so I don't like him. I'm glad he's short. I hope he has to ask people in supermarkets to get stuff of the high shelves because he can't. Boooooooooooo Dermot O'Leary!
Peet says on 22/Apr/07
He's lie! His height can't be 5'9''!! He just only 5'7.5'' - 5'8''. And in the picture , he shorter than 6ft too much (about 11 cm.) I give him 172 cm. tall.
DeanT84 says on 13/Apr/07
On, Jonathan Ross he clearly state's his height at being 5'9''.
Shaun says on 26/Jan/07
Dermot always appears to wear flat trainers which don't do a lot to increase his height. I would estimate his height in the 5'8" range and no shorter. I myself have a morning height of 5'7 1/4 [1.70.8cm] and an evening height of 5'6 1/2 to 3/4 [1.69.4cm]. O'Leary's height is around [1.73-74cm] which isn't short as it's just a little under the British average of 1.76cm [5ft 9 1/4 inches] for men. Look out for his footwear on BBLB.

[Editor Rob: this is true, 1/2 inch styles he wears a lot of the time]

have you seen the irish psychologist/psychiatrist guy who comments on a monday night (bbbb). Not only terrible fake tan and make up but the biggest heeled boots i have ever seen on a man. He must have been scared that his feet wouldnt reach the ground when sitting down, but how ironic that somebody commenting on narcassism and insecurity is sitting wearing a pair of enromously heeled cowboy boots.
Andy (as above) says on 7/Jul/06
Yup, that's me up there in the pic with Dermot, from October 2005, when Radio 2 came to Aberdeen.
I was surprised by how small Dermot looked, cos he was hidden from view completely when down talking with the crowd. I'd say we were both stooped a little when I got the photo taken, but he seems about 5'8 (my wife's 5'7 and he was only a tiny bit taller)
Abbie says on 5/Jul/06
hey! just to say that Dermot's friend went to my school-St.Lawrence College in Ramsgate, KENT, England- so he came to hav a look around and i got in a picture with him!and yes, i was taller than him!
magink says on 23/Jun/06

Editor Rob says on 23/Jun/06

paulie says on 8/Jun/06
hes on paulogrady, he just took his shoes off and standing next to 5'4'' kelly homes, and he looks only 2 inches taller, tops
Warya says on 1/Jun/06
Eubank (5'10) looks a clean 2-3 inches taller than Dermot. (Was on Big Brother)
TheMan says on 24/Jan/06
Yeah 5,6 5,9 even 5,7 is a big stretch. Everyone on he's programmes woulden't dwarfe him so much otherwise that is 100% wrong.
Claire says on 20/Jan/06
On Big Brother Little Breakfast this morning, the gorgeous Dermot admitted that he was 5ft 5 tall!!!!
Dan says on 25/Dec/05
Dermot - 5'9 or 5'10 ?? crap !! been to big bro live many times and he's walked straight past me and is my height - 5'6 !!
Emma says on 3/Aug/05
What height are the other bigbrother contestants like Makosi, Saskia etc

[Editor Rob: I wrote on davina's page that there Saskia said she was 5ft 9 and that Derek bloke said he was 5ft 8...]
Johnny says on 16/Apr/05
No i dont believe hes 5'10. i've seen him say hes 5'9 in a few interviews. but i dont believe it. my girlfriend met him a couple of times, she was 5'6, tho probably in heels bringing her to 5'8ish, and she said he was a lot shorter than her. i think she probably exaggerated but i would put him at 5'7.
