Gillian Kearney stands at exactly 5ft 4 (162.6 cm), a height that has defined her petite yet dynamic on-screen presence in British television.
Her stature perfectly suited roles portraying resilient, everyday women, from Debbie McGrath in Channel 4's Brookside and its spin-off Damon and Debbie, to Jessica Harrison in BBC's long-running medical drama Casualty.

- June in the 2002 adaptation of The Forsyte Saga
Kearney's exact 5ft 4 frame contributed to her relatable image, with her once humorously celebrating her growth into this height as making her 'so tall'.
