World's tallest woman forced to lie over 6 plane seats because she can't sit up

The world's tallest woman has opened up on life at over 7ft - explaining she needs to book out six seats to be able to fly.

Rumeysa Gelgi holds the Guinness World Record for the title, measuring in at 2.15m tall, or 7ft 0.7ins.

The 26-year-old has extremely rare condition Weaver Syndrome - affecting only 150 people worldwide - which causes bones to grow much faster than the average rate.
