@Rob- Who's the second woman from the left? She looks taller than Nelsan, or at least the same height.
Editor Rob
Lauren Bowles. Very big heels that day, a bit more than 3 inches more footwear than me. Looked about myself and Jenny’s height that day.

@ Rob - It's amazing that you can judge differences of such small amounts!
😁👌 Maybe I'm getting that way a bit myself after nearly 3-and-a-half years of visiting this thoroughly entertaining website! 😉👍

Editor RobIt does help when somebody is standing near people whose height you know, like seeing Jenny beside Nelsan, I think he seemed near 176cm range, and when I greeted him too, I felt he was around that range.

Nelsan gets 5ft9.25.
Again, a very sad story about the pressures of showbusiness, this time involving alcohol.
RIP Nelsan 🕯️ XX

@ Rampage Clover - What a terrible way to go. I've heard that Edgar Allan Poe suffered a similar death aged just 40, though it was never proved, probably because not much was known about the DTs back in the 19th Century.

I think you're being fooled by the hat if you think this guy is 5'8". His eyes, nose, mouth and chin are all higher than Rob's, and he doesn't appear to be tilting his head.

Not seeing 3cm of differences, he looks 5'8 next to you. Are you sure he was taller than you in person?

Horrific circumstances surrounding his death. Went cold turkey on alcohol and the withdrawal effects led to him dying of heart failure

Editor Rob he could look near 177cm, but with shoe advantage I think 176 is a good shout for him.
