I noticed that myself. Wasnt sure if it was for or against him though?

As regards his height, he is taller than karen Hardy and in the pics he looks about the same as Matt Dawson, so that would make him around 6ft?

Interesting - I always think of him as shorter than Matt - but then again never really compared them.

Crikey is that all! He looks much bigger in the group pics. That makes him very small for a bloke.

My Dad is 5'6" and would be quite offended by that!

No offence intended lol.

It is small though your dad must be the same as Darren Bennet then, When I was younger I went out with a man who was only just taller than me. He was great fun, size is not that important really for most things. I thought Mark was taller though.

it could be if he was pictured in the group against the likes of Vincent and Darren he would look taller in comparison.

I'm shorter than my Dad so have never been out with anyone smaller than me - they would have to be very short!

Aren't Matt and Mark both 5'10"?
According to Mark's cricket profile and Matt's rugby one anyway .

If you look at them standing together, they are almost exactly the same height. It's probably easy to get the impression Matt's taller because there's a bigger difference between Matt and Lilia than between Mark and Karen. I think Lilia must be about three inches shorter than Karen.

That's a good point, how tall is Lilia? Karen's SCD profile 5'6" but apparently that is her more realistic height in heels!

Thats about what I would have thought, not massivly tall but reasonably tall.

Lilia's says 5'3'' but maybe that's in heels as well. She looks quite a bit shorter than Karen.

Judging by the footage of the final, I would say that Lilla and Karen are pretty much the same height. I've seen Karen a couple of times and I would say she is about 5ft 4in. Mark doesn't look that tall, maybe 5ft 9in.

Karen is only about 5ft 5 with heels. I have stood next to her and she really isnt that tall

I can't decide now! Looking at their ballroom routines in the final, it looks like Lilia is quite a bit smaller than Matt and Karen is nearer to Mark's height... but then in the interview on BBC Breakfast Karen and Lilia look more or less the same height- unless Lilia is wearing heels and Karen isn't?

Easier with men isn't it!

How big a difference between her and Darren Gough? I've just checked and he's 5'10"

never thought there was a weirdly big height difference between them!

Lilia may appear smaller as she is so petite and teeny tiny making her appear overall smaller *

* is aware that may not make any sense

I think that might be true... and Matt is quite lean so that makes him look a bit longer as well. Darren Gough definitely doesn't seem only an inch smaller than Matt when I think how small Lilia seemed with Matt compared to Darren- if that makes sense?!

That must be it Darren is quite stumpy (sorry Darren!) compared to Matt and yet like you say there's only an inch difference between them

Didn't someone say Darren Bennett was only 5'7" / 5'8" ish? Lilia must be small to dance comfortably with him whilst wearing heels
