Her height has made her a hit on the catwalk, but Jerry Hall's 6ft frame has impeded her mission to go green.

The 51-year-old model invested in an eco-friendly car, but I hear the £7,000 G-Wiz has been sitting in the drive of her Richmond home because Jerry is too tall to sit comfortably behind the wheel.

"Jerry has size-ten feet and is very leggy, which is great for her career as a model, but it means she can't really fit in her G-Wiz," says my mole.

"She was very excited about it to start with but now it has just become too uncomfortable for her to drive. Once she's stooped to get inside, she finds her legs are really cramped and painful."

Meanwhile, the statuesque clotheshorse has been using a chauffeur-driven Ford Mondeo to run around town.
