Jessica, whose legs measure 38in and has size 11 feet told The Mirror:
“I adore my long legs but they cause problems buying clothes, I can get away with wearing skirts and dresses as minis, but no high street trousers, jeans or shoes fit. I can get them online but they are much more expensive.”

Her mum Lisa said that Jessica has experience some cruel taunts over her height, but that she is always confident and told to be proud of her height.
