World’s smallest woman reveals challenges of life at just 63cm as she meets TALLEST woman on Earth in unflinching This Morning interview

The world’s smallest woman has revealed the daily challenges she faces at the height of just 62.8cm as she appeared alongside the tallest woman on This Morning.

Indian actress Jyoti Amge, 30, appeared on ITV on Thursday and revealed that because of her record-breaking height, her home furnishings have been resized to make her home more accessible.

And while she opened up to Cat Deeley and Dermot O’Leary, about her ups and downs, she also explained that she sometimes needs her family to help support her when leaving her house.

Her translator, Amol Pangul, said: ‘In real life, she has difficulties doing what she needs to do every day.

‘At home she has everything according to her height so she can easily reach the things she wants to.

‘When she wants to go out, she needs help from the family. There is always someone around.

‘She needs someone around her. If she can’t reach the things, then she needs someone around her.’

Jyoti joined Rumeysa Gelgi, 27, who is the world’s tallest woman at 215.16cm, after they amazed fans across the globe with their very English tea party at The Savoy H๏τel in London.

Their meeting came to celebrate achieving The Guinness World Records icons award.

Rumeysa has a rare condition called Weaver syndrome, which causes accelerated growth and skeletal deformities – hers was only the 27th case ever diagnosed and the first in Turkey.

She uses a wheelchair and can only stand using a walker for short periods of time, but refuses to let her physical challenges hold her back.

Jyoti, who played Ma Peтιтe in US TV series American Horror Story, has a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia.

The pair have been honoured as Guinness World Record icons in the book’s 70th-anniversary edition.

They were featured alongside other GWR icons, including Diana Armstrong, the woman with the longest fingernails, Sultan Kosen, the world’s tallest man, and disabled strongman Dave Walsh, in Guinness World Records 2025.

And while she opened up to Cat Deeley and Dermot O'Leary, about her daily challenges, she also explained that she sometimes need her family to help support her when leaving her house

The pair – who earned their respective тιтles in 2021 and 2011 – sipped on afternoon tea at the Savoy H๏τel in celebration of the 20th annual Guinness World Records Day.

Rumeysa said: ‘It was so amazing meeting Jyoti for the first time.

‘It was difficult for us to make eye contact at times due to our height difference, but it was great.

‘We do have things in common; we both love make-up, self-care, and doing our nails.’

Jyoti said: ‘I’m used to looking up and seeing people taller than me but I was so happy to look up today and see the world’s tallest woman.

‘I’m delighted that I’ve met Rumeysa, she is so good-natured, and I felt very comfortable talking to her.’

GWR editor-in-chief Craig Glenday said: ‘Guinness World Records is all about celebrating differences, and by bringing together these two amazing, iconic women, they can share their perspectives on life with each other and also with us.

‘The Guinness World Records icons are those record holders who truly embody the spirit of GWR.

‘They come from all areas, from science and technology, sports and the arts and media, and are also those dedicated record holders who we see year after year.’

This Morning airs weekdays on ITV from 10am and is available to stream on ITVX.
