"The only time it's brought to my attention is when someone else says something, and kids are the worst. They're like 'Mummy, mummy, look - a giant!'," she said. "But, if I got defensive every time somebody said something, I'd be in that many fights. You just pretend you didn't hear," The Courier Mail quoted her as saying.

"I have no idea what that actually looks like to other people until I walk past a reflective surface and I think, 'Oh my God'," she added.

However, Vanessa has found The Tall Women's club, which has many other women of the same height, with whom she can share her views.
