I had about 1 inch sneakers, Jenny about 0.6 inch, Karen had These Boots, which didn't look any less than 1.8 inch.

realy very interesting I thought she is only 5'5 :)
Silent d says on 19/Jan/12
178cm easy. She was about the same height as gerard butler in 4 inch heels. I was surprised how tall she was. Not a dr who fan but it might be worth watching now.
miko says on 12/Dec/11
Rob, as you've lowered Karen, wouldn't it drop Matt Smith?

Maybe Smith is just a flat 5'11, as I'm not too sure of him being 3cm taller than Karen, sometimes it just looks around half an inch.

What I'm saying is Gillan at 178cm and Smith at 181cm doesn't quite fit.
[Editor Rob: sometimes she has thicker boots on the show, I've watched Who and thought at times 2cm was a fit, I think Rory is pretty much near enough 5ft 11 dead on. At times Matt's posture can be all over the place.]
Editor rob says on 9/Dec/11
Saw her at glasgow airport today in boots nearer to my own sneaker size and you know she didn't look 179, i'd say 178 might be nearer.
Shaun says on 25/Nov/11
Stunning, like a tall Isla Fisher
LAN Jiao says on 21/Nov/11
She is not under 5'10.5 physically obviously.. an easily stand out tall girl on screen.
Physics Enemy says on 19/Nov/11
I haven't changed my mind on this one, she's as listed. Even though she's got a footwear advantage she's dropping quite a lot of height in posture/lean. I think she'd have an inch on me, or near enough. Look at her with Jenny.

Yes agreed Lan Jiao, she's close to 5' 11", a fair 179 afternoon/evening. I've noticed a pattern Rob where I think you get women's heights spot on but upgrade male heights. I agree with you on nearly every female height but disagree with many of the male heights. Why do you think that is?
[Editor Rob: I don't know, I try to be fair to both sexes.]
random guy says on 7/Nov/11
Rob were you there when she sung california girls? found that clip on youtube!
[Editor Rob: that was same event but I only saw a few minute of her talk from a distance as it was a 'paid' talk.]
Godred says on 3/Nov/11
5`10 max,probably 5`9.
LAN Jiao says on 25/Oct/11
Physic frame taller than 5'11 claim taylor swift. Her small face can make her look taller than screen. She can be 179-180 no problem
Mr. Tempus says on 24/Sep/11
she looks 5'9.75
Dean 5ft 9.25 says on 10/Sep/11
She looks 5'10 judging on where her head is.
But she has near inch more footware so that puts her down to 5'9. However losing an inch due to lean so Id say 5'10 range. Possibly 179cm but Id personally guess 177-178cm still a tall woman.
Hullywood says on 10/Sep/11
I said it one times, i say it again now: Yeah, she looks taller, like 1.79m. But WITH shoes on. Without he is maybe slightly taller then Rob.
Plump says on 7/Sep/11
174-175cm
Josh B says on 7/Sep/11
In a new Doctor Who episode she looked an inch shorter than Darvill, maybe 0.75 at the least. However footwear is an issue i can't help with. If Arthur is 5'11 then she's probably not much over 5'10.
Milky says on 6/Sep/11
176cm, looks taller with heels.
thorterr says on 5/Sep/11
you should have gone to specsavers wide not tall
Vegas says on 5/Sep/11
Wide not tall says on 4/Sep/11
I would say more in the 5'8 range
________________

watch any episode of doctor who with her in it and for sure she looks taller than 5'8, often taller than most men in that series
Wide not tall says on 4/Sep/11
I would say more in the 5'8 range, she just seems taller due to her frame and boots, even her hair is givin her a bit more height. In fact, most women never make it to 5'8+. Many may seem taller due to body frames, heels, lifts and hair as well.

@satchy says on 2/Sep/11
tall but not handsome.

i cant stop laughing.
like @alex3 said Gorgeous tall redhead = heaven
Legend says on 3/Sep/11
Looks 5'9 to me if she's wearing boots in the photo.
A says on 3/Sep/11
Satchy, "not handsome"? she's very pretty IMO.
Physics Enemy says on 2/Sep/11
She's a tall girl who is slouching in the photos. She's as listed.
Hansen says on 2/Sep/11
179cm sound right. she can also look 180cm range. in her modeling shot 5ft11 was spoted.
J.J. says on 1/Sep/11
Weak 5'10" Rob! I put her at 5'9.8" considering she looks a strong 182cm in her boots! Rob why does a near 5'10" woman think she is 5'11"?
[Editor Rob: she might have measured once in a sneaker or something 5ft 11 and claimed it.]
Cranberries (18m, 193cm) says on 1/Sep/11
@the shredder: Only without any of the voluptuousness... She's tall and pretty though, certainly. Not quite "very tall" I would say.
Lebensdorf says on 31/Aug/11
Don't usually like redheads, but I'd sure like to measure her, so to speak.
random guy says on 31/Aug/11
I'd say 5'10ish if darvill and smith are both 5'11. Besides she is gorgeous! I would love to meet her :)
the shredder says on 31/Aug/11
Mamun ... If you REALLY want to ask her out ... Do this ... LOL

A says on 30/Aug/11
Okay so if I account for the stooping posture, I suppose this listing is correct afterall.
thorterr says on 30/Aug/11
4,000 miles yes but its ok rob will pay for your flight
the shredder says on 30/Aug/11
She is like the human Jessica Rabbit
Alex3 says on 30/Aug/11
Gorgeous tall redhead = heaven

thorterr says on 30/Aug/11

thorterr says on 30/Aug/11

Triplescrew says on 29/Aug/11
5'10" range, on the weak side given footwear
Dean 5ft 9.25 says on 29/Aug/11
Shes stooping so she could be taller than that. Id say she looks 5'10.5 but you say bigger footware? if so possibly 178cm 5'10 flat but definetly a tall girl lol.
Proper gorgeous girl not suprised mamun is sad lol. Id go for her even though she has an inch of so on me ;)
Mamun says on 29/Aug/11
ROB , I am sooooooooooooooo " SAD " !

Regards

SUPERMUN
[Editor Rob: yeah, many a man is sad with that!

but there is a woman out there for you Mamun, you just got to keep looking and talking with them.]
short man syndrome says on 29/Aug/11
I agree with the listed height. With those long legs she just had to be a model.
Editor Rob says on 29/Aug/11
She's already taken I'm afraid Mamun!
Mamun says on 28/Aug/11
ROB , if I asked her out do you think she would have said " YES " or a " NO " ?

REGARDS

SUPERMUN
Anon says on 28/Aug/11
Looks 5'10 flat when you take off the near 1 inch advantage for her.
Wide not tall says on 28/Aug/11
I agree with A, she only looks taller due to boots as well as her frame. She's near 5'9 than 5'10 or 11.
richinkle says on 28/Aug/11
ps...she has a pleasant smile and looks like a very friendly woman.
richinkle says on 28/Aug/11
That sounds about right. She is hunching in both pictures. If she were holding her head up straight, she would appear a good 3"+ taller than you and Jenny.

Regarding the small head comment - I don't believe she has a small head, but like most women, her face, especially her chin, is smaller than a man's. The top of her head actually looks larger than average.
Kian says on 28/Aug/11
5'10-5'11 looks right for definate.
Larc 6 ft 1.75 in says on 28/Aug/11
Considering that the boots are pretty thick she can't be over 5'10 flat, but she's bending a lot in both the pics, so 5'10.5 is a good estimate. She would've been 5'11 with a longer head.
Alex says on 28/Aug/11
"I don't have any major issues with my body"

Obviously not... *swoon*
DrJJ says on 28/Aug/11
Wow! Clearly height really is the only attribute you need to be a model!
A says on 28/Aug/11
I think Hullywood has a point, minus the boots and there wouldn't be that much a difference between you and her, Rob. I'd say she's closer to 5'9" barefoot. Another Taylor Swift case (and by that I mean another girl claiming to be 5'11" when she's no taller than 5'9".)
Ram says on 28/Aug/11
She is just an inch taller than you Rob.
Josh B says on 28/Aug/11
Is it me Rob, or does she have a really small head? :)
Josh B says on 28/Aug/11
@Hullywood
Anyone can see that there is more than 0.8inch between her and Rob, that's the footwear advantage she had.
Hullywood says on 27/Aug/11
Ron, she doestn look 5foot10 with boots, she doestn even look 5foot9 with boots.
She is your heigh, just the boots make her taller.

The size difference between you and her is nothing. What you see is the difference because the boots.
miko says on 27/Aug/11
Is that Karen's phone number in your top pocket Rob? ;)

She does look a tall woman, but your right she's not a full 5'11.
miko says on 7/Aug/11
Ok Rob. If you've seen her then I'll take your word for it as your always a good estimator.

Would that lower Matt Smith aswell? Maybe he is just a flat 5'11 afterall.
[Editor Rob: I watched the last 6 episodes again and think darvill is more 5ft 11, smith does loo 5ft 11 range, and gillan can appear shorter than both.]
miko says on 6/Aug/11
Why the downgrade Rob?

Wasn't she at 5'11?
[Editor Rob: I saw her and she had about .6 I think more footwear, maybe .7 but I didn't think she looked like a five eleven and a half woman, which she would have if five eleven and with footwear advantage if you understand.]
alex says on 31/Jul/11
i read she is definatley 5'11
Bobo says on 13/May/11
Matt smith happens to be 6ft
lou says on 7/May/11
on doctor who she appeared at least 1 inch shorter than 5'10.5'' Lily Cole
