I agree 5'9 is probably the best fit for Selina. Also in this shot we can see she has to look up to Diana's eyes:

She could've been slightly above the mark, though that would depend on how much over 5'10 Charles was at his peak. My own estimates for all three would be:

Charles - 178.4-179 (5ft 10.25 to 10.5)
Diana - 177.2-177.8 (5ft 9.75 to 10)
Selina - 175.3-175.9 (5ft 9 to 9.25)

She's worth adding Rob, really was the golden girl of British Tele in the '80s.

Hi again Rob, still waiting for Miss Scott to get a page :3

Who would you give the edge to between Selina and Diana? Here's how both compare to Charles:

5ft 9 might be an ok figure.

Interesting, I'd have guessed closer to 5'10 from that photo, even when factoring in the sloping surface. I know she was compared to Princess Diana in the past, here they are together, although can't see footwear(I'd like to think they were height twins XD):

Also here she is with the then Prince Charles(who I personally believe was 178.7-179 range):

Think you could give her a page? I suspect you'd list her at 5'9, but I personally won't go lower than 5'9.5!

With Diana 5ft 9.5 looks possible

The ground might be in her favour a little, but always thought Selina in her prime was 5ft 9 range.

I did find a 1993 news article which called her 5ft 9, it was talking about John Leslie:

The 5ft 9in blonde said: ''Our height difference is so great I'll make sure we are sitting when we're together on screen.''

@ Rob - She was in Dictionary Corner recently and she was looking good. The only thing - she didn't stand up! 😭

She's at an age I think is possible she's lost some height, I'd have said maybe 5ft 7-7.5 today could be possible.

I used to have to watch Anneka running around on her 'Challenge Anneka' programme - because the males in the household liked to look at her bum! I, on the other end, was watching her height and her hair. 😛

Oh, she's tall alright! I thought she was 5ft7, but now I see that she's an inch taller. Hmmmmm... I'd say that having watchd her run around in trainers, yet still she was properly tall for a woman. 5ft8 really does make sense.

Only this week, Anneka has been sitting with Susie Dent in Dictionary Corner on 'Countdown'. I hadn't seen her on the box for ages and was quite surprised. Quiz programmes aren't ideal for judging someone's height because of the sitting down involved, but I remember well enough from Anneka's previous TV escapades that she has a tall, mesomorphic frame.

5ft8 it is! 👟👟
