I find it very interesting that she said "Vernon is 6ft 4in and I'm over 5ft 8in"! It's good that she is so honest with her claims!

I've just come across an interview in 'You' magazine, which comes free with the newspaper The Mail on Sunday. In it, she talks about the tall height of her 14-year-old daughter, whose father is 6ft4 TV presenter Vernon Kay. Being at least 5ft8.5 herself, I think their daughter is destined to be very tall indeed!
5ft8.75 for Tess.

In magazine and newspaper articles Tess's height has always been stated as 5ft9. I spotted that in the first few series of Strictly, so not to tower over the dancers when interviewing them, Tess would sometimes stand there with no shoes on, particularly if she had a longer dress on.

I find it difficult to believe she is only 5'8'.5". When you think that Abbey Clancy and Sophie Ellis Bextor who claim to be 5'9 and are supposedly taller than Tess and they in fact don't look as tall . Tess has longer legs than Abbey and Sophie and a more towering presence but is shorter. Something doesn't add up.

I've always thought she was about 5'9" (not that 5' 8.5" is that far short of it!). She's taller than almost EVERYONE on TV.

I think she is downgrading her height . I think she is at least 5'9. She looks
noticeably taller than Abbey Clancy and Sophie Ellis Bextor in this photo. I believe there about 5'8 and not their 5'9 listed claim.

She always wears heels so looks taller. 5'9'' is correct I guess.
