Tania Strecker is a Danish model and television presenter in the UK, daughter of Maren Enthoven and David Strecker.

[edit] Physique

At 6ft, Strecker is frequently featured in the press and various men's magazines, primarily due to her incredibly long 37 inch legs — known as the Streckers. "Small girls may have the advantage when young, but tall ones usually win in the end" , says Strecker. After implying in a radio interview that she was still Guy Ritchie's girlfriend when he started seeing Madonna, Strecker declared that Madonna "is frightened of me. That's because I am so tall and she is so small."

[edit] Personal life

Her ex-boyfriends include Alastair Patterson (IT Boy & Entrepreuner) Guy Ritchie, and Robbie Williams.[3] [4] (Williams wrote the song She's Madonna with the Pet Shop Boys about Ritchie leaving Strecker for Madonna.) She is now married to Anthony James de Rothschild, eldest son of Sir Evelyn de Rothschild and Victoria Schott.[5]
