Stand aside Prince Harry and Benedict Cumberbatch, there’s another man who women are lusting after. According to an annual poll conducted by married dating website Illicit Encounters, Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson is now the UK’s Sexiest man in London – for the second year in a row. The 64-year-old star beat out hunks including Tom Holland, Cillian Murphy and Idris Elba to scoop the prize.
Clarkson, who lives in Forest Hill with his wife Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, came out top of the list after scoring 9 out of 10 in the poll – an increase on his score of 8 last year. He was ahead of ‘Luther’ actor Idris Elba, who finished in third place with 8 points. The pair were followed by the England football manager Gareth Southgate, I’m A Celebrity host Sam Thompson and Olympic athlete Russ Cook.
The Merton-born star is a true darling of the nation, thrilling fans with his witty comments on the Great British Bake Off and his amusing anecdotes on the Grand Tour. He may not look like your typical pin-up boy, but that’s part of the charm for many female viewers. He is also a big hit on Twitter, with his snarky tweets and love of gin proving to be very popular with women.
He may have binned his 007 Speedos, but there’s still something about the Peaky Blinders actor that gets women swooning. His smouldering good looks and posh, husky voice are just a few of the reasons why women are transfixed on him. He’s also a hugely generous guy, doing charity work and helping to raise money for children’s causes.
While he’s probably best known for his stint as the host of Top Gear, it’s his acting career that’s really taken off. He has appeared in a number of films and TV shows such as ‘Casualty’, ‘Silk’ and ‘Quaintways’. He also has a number of endorsement deals and has a range of his own perfumes.
It’s perhaps not surprising that the 57-year-old singer is a hot favourite with female viewers, with his smooth vocals and cheeky personality. The former boy band star’s a renowned showman, with his sell-out live concerts and bestselling albums ensuring that he has millions of loyal fans. He’s also an expert on everything health related, with his advice and tips being loved by many people. He’s also a regular on television, with appearances on ‘The Graham Norton Show’ and ‘The X Factor’. He also regularly hosts a radio show for BBC Radio 2.
