How tall is Martin H from My Mum Your Dad?

Martin H is 6ft 10in tall.

When he first arrived at the My Mum Your Dad retreat, he caused a conversation among the existing cast members - including Monique, who had to stretch to give him a hug.

Martin put his height to good uses during the prime of his career as a professional basketball player.

The single parent, from Birmingham, spoke about his height and how it impacts his dating life prior to entering the retreat, explaining: "I know I’m a big bloke, I’m 6ft 10in, and that can be really overbearing. I chose a sport where I didn’t stand out!"

At the same time, he revealed that he has been struggling with a "lack of self-worth" and that he is looking "to find emotional fulfilment".

He said during his pre-interview: "It starts with a smile. Someone who smiles and shows interest. It’s almost the opposite of me – where I’m cautious and hold back, I am most impressed by somebody who smiles and also isn’t noticeably put off by my size.

"I have a lack of self-worth and she feels I am worthy and I do a lot for my family and I should have a chance to find emotional fulfilment. To give me a chance to get out there."

Martin went on: "I don't have much of a social life. So to realise there's more to life than doing the next basketball commentary or taking my kids on holiday.'

"I'm big, I'm fun, I'm outgoing and I consider myself to be a likeable sort of bloke. I've spent 90% of my life in the friendzone… I'm everyone's best friend."
