6ft 5in woman sues for £2m

A WOMAN who feels like a “freak” because of the effect on her growth of an undiagnosed tumour is claiming £2 million damages.

Kate Woodward says her height of 6ft 5in has put paid to her ambition to become an actress.

The problem with her pituitary gland, which went untreated between October 2001 and September 2005, also gave her significant problems with her back, knees and teeth, and left her unable to buy clothes or shoes on the high street.

The hearing, which is expected to last five days, continues at London’s High Court.
