Pointless favourite Richard Osman has reportedly fallen for a a beautiful jazz singer – 19 inches shorter than he is.
The TV host is 6′ 7″, while Sumudu Jayatilaka, 39, is 5ft.
The couple have been dating for several months, but they have both been playing their love cards close to their chest.
According to the Mirror Online, she did recently reveal at a sports quiz: “We’re very happy.”
He, meanwhile, told Mail Online: “We met through mutual friends. I just looked down and there she was.”
“I’m always looking down because everybody is short to me.
“We don’t really notice the height difference, though.”
An unnamed friend of Richard apparently told The Sun that the height difference has been a source of good-humoured teasing,
“People joke because he’s a bit of a giant and she’s around 5ft nothing,” they said. “But it seems like they were made for each other.”
Richard is remaining tight-lipped about his relationship – the closest he’s come to discussing romance was a humorous nod to Valentine’s Day yesterday.
He posted a rhyme on Twitter that read: “Vertebrates have spines, Invertebrates are joint-less Have a lovely Valentine’s, From me, that guy off Pointless.”
Vertebrates have spines,
Invertebrates are jointless
Have a lovely Valentine’s,
From me, that guy off Pointless.
