He's lost a fair bit of height for his age.....

@ Sandy Cowell - That’s very funny! 😂😂😂

Judy is much more my height!

Rob, how tall do you think James Haskell?

He's listed 6ft4 but I think more 6ft3 range. I think Richard might still measure close to 6ft2
Editor Rob
click here - he claimed 6ft 3

@ Nik - That's because he is!

Peak - 6ft2.25
Now - 6ft1.5.
Nik said on 30/Sep/19
He does look very tall!
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 20/Apr/18
Peak: 188.6cm
Today: 187.3cm


Don't think he falls under a solid 187cm now.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 4/Mar/18
I think he's still close to 6ft2 today

See him very often in my local high street and when standing next to him or passing him he is about an inch taller than me, and I stand at 186cm, so he is 188cm exactly i’d say. And used to be 189cm.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 13/Feb/18
He can look 6ft1 range these days but I'm still not sure if he's lost this much...
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 22/Jun/17
A big 6ft2 would imply 188-189cm which we've established he isn't quite anymore. But 187-188cm or a weak 6ft2 looks about right now
Bazza said on 22/Jun/17
I find it hard to believe he has been 11.5 stone all his life. We are about the same height and even when i did marathon training running around 80 miles a week and looking gaunt and stick thin i was still a stone heavier than him at 12.5!
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 21/Jun/17
Looks sickly thin
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 21/Jun/17
Rob, could 6ft1¾ be closer?


I can believe he might have shipped a small bit but not almost an inch. Definitely a strong 6ft2 guy 20 years ago.
Editor Rob
having looked at him recently I did see around 187 as possible, but a big 6ft 2 today, I can't see it.
Arch Stanton said on 21/Jun/17
Looks more likely now, Judy I think is most likely 5 ft 4 range but might be wrong, it's difficult to see a legit 189 now next to her. He did look it peak though.
Editor Rob
Judy may have lost an inch too, I think roughly 5ft 4, maybe even taller in 80's.
Arch Stanton said on 21/Jun/17
Editor Rob: he was supposed to have measured a fraction over 6ft 2, from what he claimed in one of the This Morning shows.

Yes but he's 61 now and looks like he could have lost a bit from peak, I'd be surprised if he still measured 189 barefoot. He's looking nearer 6'1.5 now to me.
Editor Rob
yes, it is probably likely he has lost half inch by now.
Arch Stanton said on 20/Jun/17
@Rob, do you think it might be time to downgrade from peak, he doesn't look a legit 189 to me here Click Here Looking nearer 6 ft 1 now to me. He does look very slim though, he does look in 11 stone range there. You've got to give it to him, 99% of 61 year old guys don't look that good, he gives the vibe of an ageing Aussie surfer.

It is very light for 6 ft 2. Djokovic is 12 and a half stone, a stone heavier than Madely and he's extremely fit and toned and active. I wouldn't have guessed Madely that light.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 2/Jun/17
That's very light for 6ft2
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 14/Apr/16
Maybe he got 6ft2¼ just before lunch
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 9/Apr/16
Rob, which zone would you put Madeley in?

A) 191cm/189cm
B) 190.5cm/188.5cm
C) 190cm/188cm
D) 189.5cm/187.5cm
E) 189cm/187cm
Editor Rob
in the past I got just a C impression from him....I am not sure he was measured over it though,
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 23/Dec/13
He's a bit full of himself and my god does he cracks me up, especially when he's trying to be serious (e.g. his views on the Iraq War in 2003).

But he still looks a solid 188cm at least and probably hasn't lost height.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 21/Jun/13
6ft3 out of bed, Rob?

This BBC article says Leslie is 6'4"! He claimed 6'5" on This Morning a good ten years ago numerous times I think and always looked it, if anything he could look 6'6" from what I remember.

John Leslie with Catherine Zeta back in I'd guess the late 80s- c.1990. Zeta looks more Latino than ever! She's probably in heels too. Every bit of 6'5".
Arch Stanton said on 30/Nov/12
He was stood beside John Leslie once and he looked 3 inches shorter. Leslie if anything is a strong 6'5" guy.
Arch Stanton said on 30/Nov/12
He looks a legit 6'2" guy Rampage. Always has done. 188-189cm
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 6/Oct/12
If he measured 6ft2.25(189cm) in the morning then his actual height is 6ft1.75(187cm).
Rob, would that make sense?
ANDREA[ITA] said on 27/Jul/12
You say that he said he's 6'2.25 and that that's probably a morning measurement! So now "real" height is the morning one?
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 27/Sep/11
188cm or 6"2 flat.

Mmm he looks about 6'2"-6'3" in those boots to me by his proportions. But if so Judy must be a 5'6" at least. I thought Judy was around 5'5"
Shaun said on 13/Jul/11
I don't know if anybody has noticed but when he is dressed casually he closely resembles Pat Cash. There's almost something Australian about him, especially the clothes he wears in public and his Aussie mullet type hair.

@ Theo. He wears boots a lot Timberland type boots which may give 1.5"-2 inches. I've seen pictures of him in them and thought he looked 6'3"-6'4" range in them. He's a clear 6'2" and I think he would measure close to 6'2" last thing at night too, maybe a smidge under.
Shaun said on 22/Apr/11
Dolph had 6cm on this guy, not 3!!
Shaun said on 3/Mar/11
Madeley is a good example of how a legit barefoot 6 ft 2 looks.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 13/Nov/10
6"2.5 out of bed probably.
Hugh said on 24/Nov/08
Actually I think 6ft2 flat is probably more accurate.
Hugh said on 11/Sep/08
A little over 6ft2 seems dead on. He literally dwarfs Judy by almost a foot.
pauly said on 29/Mar/08
Richard doesn't seem to know his own height. I remember that he once stated on the Richard and Judy show that he was 6ft.
Hugh said on 25/Mar/08
I'm 6ft2.75 in the morning barefooted.
Markus said on 24/Feb/08
I'm 6ft 2 and a quarter in the morning too

Mike McLean, the cheeky reporter who has done bits and bobs for Channel 4 over the years. He is 5ft 7.

Today (20th December) he mentioned his height again. They had a 12 year old on the show. Richard mentioned that this boy looked very tall for his age and asked him how tall he was. The kid grew up in France so gave his height as (165cm) rather than in feet/inches. Richard thought about this and reckoned it converted as 5'10"!!!! . Then he asked the kid to stand up and said that he's 6'2". They compared heights and it was obvious that Richard towered over this young 5'5"/5'6" kid.
