With the permission of Cristina Pedroche's dress, one of the most repeated comments from the Bells on Twitter was the broadcast of Anne Igartiburu and Jacob Petrus in La 1. Not because Ana Obregón tested positive for coronavirus and was replaced at the last moment by the presenter Catalan, but because of the image that was leaked in which it could be seen how Petrus was raised on a wooden box to balance his height with that of Anne. The networks did not take long to realize the error of proportions during the program, since his knees reached the height of Igartiburu's waist. When the mystery was revealed, many tweeters branded the gesture as sexist for perpetuating the stereotype that he has to be taller than her. Even more so when in the competition Cristina Pedroche has been presenting the Chimes a few centimeters above her partner, chef Alberto Chicote, for several years. We collect below dozens of couples (sentimental) that show that it is time to break topics.

    One of the newest and most followed couples of the new Hollywood, the one formed by Tom Holland and Zendaya, is a good example. She is six centimeters taller than him and the difference is accentuated when she wears heels on the red carpet. Far from being a problem, the couple has even joked about it. While promoting Spiderman, they visited the set of the Graham Norton Show and commented, laughing, how in a scene in the movie where they were supposed to land at the same time, Zendaya's feet hit the ground first due to the height difference. He also did not hesitate to like an Instagram post that claimed that short men are more sexually active.
