A 2ft tall cheerleader from America has been named the world’s shortest living woman by the Guinness Book of World Records.
Bridgette Jordan, 22, from Sandoval, Illinois, stands at 2ft 3in, and also holds the record for being part of the shortest living siblings, alongside her 20-year-old brother Brad.
Jordan scooped the title from Turkey’s Elif Kocaman, who stands at 2ft 4.58in.
“It feels awesome,” the Daily Mail quoted her as saying of her record-breaking achievement.
‘It’s great to be small. I believe that everyone should be confident in themselves.’
Jordan’s brother, who stands at a comparatively giant 3ft 2in and enjoys playing basketball and learning karate, added: “Hopefully this will go a little way to helping people realise it’s OK to be different.”
