As Nelson takes on MTV’s The Challenge, viewers are starting to question his height – is he taller or shorter than co-star Fessy?
Contestants from a range of reality shows, such as Geordie Shore and Ex On The Beach, are seen competing for the grand prize of $1 million.
Nelson is amongst the Double Agents who take on a number of challenges, including the Hall Brawl, where he went head-to-head with Fessy.
So how tall is Nelson? Is he the same height as on-screen co-star Fessy?
Who is Nelson?
Nelson is a 32-year-old reality star from San Marcos, Texas.
Viewers might recognise him from Ex On The Beach, when he appeared on the show as Nurys Mateo’s ex-boyfriend.
Nelson has been in several of The Challenge shows, including Are You the One? 3, Invasion of the Champions, Rivals III, XXX: Dirty 30, Vendettas, Final Reckoning, and Total Madness.
Nelson is one of the few challengers that actually play this game with heart. He’s loyal and actually a pretty good competitor 🤧 #TheChallenge36 #TheChallenge

There’s no surprise that fans were comparing his and co-star Fessy’s height during their Hall Brawl, as Nelson was being towered over.
Fessy is significantly taller than Nelson, at a height of 6 ft 5.
Nelson is also reportedly 180 lbs, while Fessy is 245 lbs in weight.
I’m absolutely devastated for Nelson, he didn’t deserve that, not twice in a row. Fessy’s a dirty dirty player in so many ways #TheChallenge36 #TheChallenge #TheChallengeDoubleAgents pic.twitter.com/l6Mx3dfQaN
