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.
