Im 5 ft 9 and i saw him he was around my brothers height about 5 ft 7
Steve says on 10/Aug/10
At most he's 5'7. Maybe a strong 5'6. No way is he 5'9 and 5'8 is probably stretching it.
This site has Alexandra Burke as 5'4 and she dwarfed him on the live shoes. He was in formal shoes and she was always in heels. She would have needed to be wearing 6-7 inch heels to dwarf him. Unlikely cal says on 1/Aug/10
He is 5'8, Generous, I think he is a weak 5'8 then, 6'0 Andy is wya taller, at least 4 ins,
I think he could be 5'7.5 but Give him the benfit of doubt, He said 5'9 that could be his height in heeled shoes. joewhite31 says on 22/Jul/10
Anonymous, you mean 5'8 flat or in heels? She can't be 5'8 and is never 5'8 seriously. The woman always wears MASSIVE high heels. She is also listed at 5'7. Where did you get that 5'8 idea? She's shorter than 5'8 Whitney and 5'7ish Rihanna assuming that she's also wearing 6 inch platforms, yet she is still the shorter one. 5'6 is being generous. 'bout Dermot's height, I have no idea.. Anonymous says on 30/Jun/10
Stood next to Dermot and girlfriend at Wimbledon yesterday. I am 5'5, was in wearing flat shoes and there is no way the man was 2inches taller than that. I'll be kind and give 5'6 but that's about it. The man is clearly a short arse! Samwise says on 6/Jun/10
Looked to be similar height to Woody Harrelson on Socceraid. Maybe he is 5ft9 Anonymous says on 20/May/10
LOOL mariah is 5'8, shes a big girl. Dermot is about 5'7 at most joewhite31 says on 25/Apr/10
@ theenforcer22 Mariah Carey is not 5'9. She's 5'6 top no more. Anonymous says on 1/Apr/10
5'8 is generous to be fair, He wears thick shoes and his 5'9 claim is pathetic rounding off a 1/4 inch or an 1/2 but he adds 1-2 inches to his height this guy, Keep in mind Simon Cowell is one of the worst for it and Joe McElderry was listed at 5'7 and is 5'4 at best I Bet. Khan87 says on 14/Mar/10
I think he is 5ft7.5 Dylan says on 8/Feb/10
I would say David Suchet was as tall as O'Leary. Shaun says on 30/Jan/10
The shortest looking 5'8" I've ever seen. I would stake a lot on him being 5'7". 5'10" McCartney was 3 inches taller, and I've lost count how often has looked 5'7" in relation to heights of others we know are legit. He evens looks 5'7" in this pic. Jasmine says on 2/Jan/10
Shakira performed on the x-factor, in big heels, next to him. She was the same height. If Shaki is 5'1" then he's got to be about 5'5"? dazza says on 24/Dec/09
i meet him down carnby street a bout a year a go. he is a strong 5'7" cos thats my hight...very nice guy by the way! Parker says on 22/Dec/09
Agreed, not over 5'5, but not under 5'4 either in my opinion. MD says on 21/Dec/09
Is Prince William really a full 6'3"? Anyway, Joe is certainly no more than 5'5". The 5'7" claims are just patently ridiculous. He's short and tiny. Dylan says on 20/Dec/09
Great picture Parker, I thought Joe was short but I did not realise how short until I saw him next to the princes. If he is 5'4" then Dermot cannot be over 5'7", I think Rob should downgrade him now. Parker says on 19/Dec/09
Think the height difference is more between Joe and Dermot Dylan..I would say at least 3 inches. Here's a pic from the Sun this week. They are now listing Joe as 5'4. Prince William is 6'3 and does look a good 10 inches taller. I think 5'4-5'5 for Joe is a fair estimate, and Dermot 3-4 inches taller.

The Jedward twins are 5ft 11 and 5ft 10 (they are not identical) not 5ft 9. I saw them at work when they came for a radio interview. Dylan says on 17/Dec/09
If it were established that Joe was definately 5'7" then I would reluctantly have to accept Dermot's 5'9" claims because he definately had about a 2" height advantage. Dylan says on 17/Dec/09
I would be inclined to agree with you Parker, he certainly looked nearer 5'5" than 5'7" to me. Parker says on 16/Dec/09
The X factor winner 'Joe' was listed at 5'7 in a recent newspaper article - I'd put him about 5'5. Mike says on 13/Dec/09
Quote from a website:
Bless him, he's gorgeous, but pocket-sized. Have heard he claims to be 5ft 9", but a friend (who is fairly besotted with him) met him at Dublin airport recently, and she reckons he was only about 5ft 6" (ie her height).
---------
My guess is 5'7". Pete says on 13/Dec/09
Paul McCartney towered him by 3 inches at least on X Factor. sol says on 12/Dec/09
well i'm 5'6 and that's by being measured in a police station years ago...he looks about the same height as me! Random Person says on 5/Dec/09
I'm going to say 5'7.75 J.J. says on 30/Nov/09
She was 6'0" in her 5" heels that give 4" IN HEIGHT. Dermot could be 172cm as well. Still 5'8" anyway. Rihanna looked 3" taller than 5'9" in shoes Dermot. Dylan says on 30/Nov/09
Dermot did look taller than the contestant Joe. I wonder how tall Joe is? Steve says on 29/Nov/09
Dermot stood next to Rihanna on stage tonight. She was in heels so must have been 5'11/6'0. Next to her, he looked 5'6.
No way would you say he was close to 5'8 Parker says on 16/Nov/09
Yes, but strangely enough he looked taller than Simon Cowell in his cuban heels in last nights show, when Simon came up on stage. Dylan says on 16/Nov/09
MD - Dermot O'Leary IS the UK's answer to Ryan Seacrest. Did anyone see him talking with Brian May and Roger Taylor? He looked tiny in comparison. Okay Brian May is over 6ft but Roger Taylor has always been 5'10". Did that look like a 5'8" man conversing with them? MD says on 15/Nov/09
He's just like Ryan Seacrest on American Idol as far as height is concerned and how they deal with it. Both claim 5'9", and both are obviously 5'6"-to-5'7" lift-wearers. Anonymous says on 14/Nov/09
Hes bearly 5'7. Im 5'6 and he was only slightly taller than me when i met him. 5'9 is a joke. TheMan says on 13/Nov/09
He does to me anyway look taller on the x factor like near 5,9 but i am sure he's wearing lifts or something. He was really really short like people would comment on it on programmes before. He now seems to be a bit bigger now i am starting to think there are some lifts being used here. Shaun says on 10/Nov/09
Haha. Rob from Scotland. Look at Bon Jovi on x factor on YouTube. Maybe time to change this listing. Jon Bon Jovi was three inches taller than Dermot O Leary even taking into account Jon's hair. And Jon only an inch taller? I think not. If Jon Bon Jovi is 5 ft 9 Dermot is struggling with 5 ft 7. Rob can you see only an inch difference in height at the end when Dermot walks on stage? Dylan says on 8/Nov/09
To be fair to John and Edward, they did say they did not really know their height, I guess 5'9" could be 5'10" or 5'11" to them, not everyone gets measured properly so alot estimate their heights. With their hair up they looked almost twice Dermot O'Leary's height. Ali020202 says on 8/Nov/09
The twins on x factor were asked how tall they were (not incl there hair). One of them said 5ft11, which goes go to show how ppl don't just lie about there height, but make rediculous claims. There not even 5ft9 but as there young they could still reach there claims i guess. Steve says on 5/Nov/09
Dermot made Michael Buble look 5'11.
He's not the 5'8/5'9 he claims. Looks like a weak 5'7 and more likely 5'6. Next to Cheryl Cole after her performance, he was barely taller than her...and she's small! Dylan says on 29/Oct/09
Rob - Seriously, why have you got this guy listed as 5'8"? Do you really think he is the same height as you? I am well aware of his height claims, however, David Suchet and Jason Priestley claim 5'8" and that hasn't stopped you listing them as 5'6" and 5'6.5" respectively. Please don't ignore this Rob, I think you owe us all an explanation as to why you believe some of these celebs and not others. unknown says on 25/Oct/09
just watched dermot on the x factor stood next to michel buble and he looks alot smaller than michel list 5'9 kramer says on 24/Oct/09
I can only echo the sentiments below. Houston literally towered over him, and even in huge shoes there is no way he is taller than her. he i smaller han evey contestant on there, even the girls and children
Not an inch over 5ft7, if even that Mike says on 23/Oct/09
More like 5 6", he doesnt look nothing like 5 8" next to that guy in the picture at the top, and have u realised that every contestant on the x factor is taller than him bar one, i know the girls wear heels but not all of them would be 5 10-11" in heels because dermot wears some height increasing shoes, 5 6-6.5" in my opinion Ivan says on 19/Oct/09
Have you seen him yesterday next to Whitney Houston in X factor? She is 173 and he looked like a midget next to her.. Steve says on 17/Oct/09
More likely closer to 5'6 than 5'8.
All the contestants tower him and there aren't that many tall women in the competition Iwonder says on 7/Oct/09
What does he have in his shoes for X-factor? He never looks shorter than anyone. I'm sure he must be at least 5'8.5" Mike says on 5/Oct/09
I thought he was bit taller but looking at him now I think 5'7 is right. He doesnt look that small compared to most of the male contestants on this series of the X Factor though, so majority of them must be below average height! MD says on 23/Sep/09
Yeah, to be honest, he should have been started out at 5'7". Shaun says on 23/Sep/09
This guy has to be the shortest looking 5'9" in history. 5"7" max!!!! To me he always looks the way a 5'6" guy does on X factor. Looks about 168cm to me. I bet he is not more than 5'7" barefoot. MD says on 31/Aug/09
Rob,
I think you may want to recheck. Here he is during the summer with Michael Jackson given 5'9", here (and it seems many think he was even shorter):
Click Here
I don't know; if Jackson was straightened up, it appears to me that he'd have a good two inches, at least, on O'Leary. Just look at the shoulders, too. Dylan says on 29/Aug/09
Not a cat in hell's chance is this guy 5'8", 5'7" possibly but more likely 5'6"! |
