How tall is Dr Hannah Fry? Height of Horizon mathematician explained! Tue 5 May 2020 10:16 Eve Edwards
Daniel Foster Horizon is BBC Two’s science programme which tells amazing science stories, explores mysteries and taps into unknown worlds. They tackle everything from historical tales of space exploration to online dating. But it is their latest episode which has got the nation talking.
Horizon have launched The Great British Intelligence Test and explained how it worked in a special episode on Monday, May 4th.
Leading the research are Dr Hannah Fry and TV presenter (and qualified doctor, may we add) Michael Mosley.
Although the internet was a hubbub of talk about the intelligence test, many were struck by the height of Hannah Fry, particularly stood next to her co-host Michael. So how tall is Hannah?
Meet Dr Hannah Fry

Whenever Hannah has popped up on our screens as a television presenter, many viewers have flocked to find out how tall she is. This has led to many questions directed to Hannah on Twitter, for which we could only find one response back in 2017.
When a family said they were betting on how tall she was, Hannah chipped in with the fun saying: “You lose I’m afraid. A lowly 5’11”.”
Ooohh. You lose I'm afraid. A lowly 5'11".
