Actually as well as that, Craig appeared on the Jonathan Ross show and honestly did look any taller than Ross (who I put at 6'1 flat). So again, 186cm for him and 6'0 1/2 for Len Goodmun.

Yeah I definitely wouldn't mind seeing Craig added. Especially considering how he's far more deserving and more well known than some of these current "celebrities". Personally however, I wouldn't even go for a weak 6'2. The guy never seems closer to 6'2 range to me. I would go with 186 max.

Rob, could we add Craig Horwood?

Claims to be 6ft2 in this interview with the Irish Independent. Can look it it times but not sure there was a full 2in between him and Len, maybe 6ft1ΒΎ? Len held on to a decent 6ft right up toward the end

Sad to hear about Len.

Solid 6ft0Β½ minimum in his prime, if not almost 6ft1. Still looked a very strong 6ft range in that photo.

I’ve found out via the news on my phone that we lost dear dance judge, Len Goodman, over the weekend. The poor man had cancer. He passed away three days short of his 79th Birthday. πŸ₯²

RIP Len XXXXX πŸ•―
(25th April, 1944 - 22nd April, 2023).

6ft0.5.

Ah, bless him! Len came out with the word 'centroids', adding, "I don't know what it means!"

Susie did the explaining: it's the central point of a figure, probably geometric. I checked on Google 'cos I wasn't sure myself! πŸ˜‰

Len is on Countdown this week and I'm thinking exactly the same as I did last time - that he's a real gentleman.

He's just told us about his birth during the War, and due to a bomb exploding, his mother was taken all the way to Farnborough, Kent and born in its hospital, which was then known as Farnborough Hospital but has recently been changed to The Princess Royal. That's funny to me, as I was born there too! πŸ˜‚πŸ‘Œ

Len would have otherwise been born a Welshman.

He speaks so highly about everyone, and talked about the Welsh people his family stayed with in the War. He ended on the note, "I love the Welsh!" πŸ˜πŸ‘

Peak - 6ft0.5; today - 6ft.

I find this guy such a gentleman - and funny with it!

6ft and half-an-inch peak and 6ft now.

@ stiggles - I like your name! How tall are you?
stiggles said on 27/Oct/20
Was never 6ft..
Nik said on 7/Oct/19
The average guess for his current height is 6'0" and the average guess for his peak height is 6'0.6"! There have been 13 votes!

Len was in Dictionary Corner on Countdown today. He had an eight-letter word but claimed to be too embarrassed to say it, adding, "...so I'll leave it to Susie!" 🀣

Susie said, "It isn't THAT bad!" Then she followed the declaration with "PRIVATES 🀭 (On Parade!)" πŸ’‚βœ”οΈπŸ‘Œ

That's all you needed to say Len, you naughty boy! Now we know how your mind works! Ner ner ner ner ner! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

6ft0.5 peak;
6ft now.

All that dancing, I suppose, has helped with this very minimal height loss.

Rob, I think Horwood is near 6ft2. I'd start him at that mark and then maybe consider moving him down a fraction. Based on that photo he has to clear 6ft1
Mark Underwood 183cm said on 11/Jan/17
Rob if Len Goodman is 6 foot Tall how Tall do you think Craig Reveal Horwood is based on the picture shown above?
Editor Rob
Mark, Craig has claimed 6ft 2...he certainly can look anywhere from 6ft 1-2 range, but a big 6ft 2 guy? I'm not so sure, maybe 6ft 1.5.

Life is the name of the game and I wanna play the game with you ! Not the same without Brucie Boy.... Looks a weak 6 footer today.

Rampage a lot of those dancers are usually mid height or small!!
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 15/Oct/16
Still looks a strong 6ft in the above photo if the other guy really is 6ft2
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 15/Oct/16
He's shorter than I thought. A lot of those dancers are usually very tall
Arch Stanton said on 15/Oct/16
Yeah that's a better listing.
Arch Stanton said on 15/Oct/16
A chance of a tad over 6' peak actually.
Rory said on 15/Oct/16
Any chance of 6'1 peak Rob ? To me he still looks 6ft range now aged 72.
Editor Rob
maybe 184 peak is possible and a half inch or 3/4 less now, I don't think he's lost a great amount though.
