Piers Morgan Crowned UK’s Sexiest Male Celeb

TV shock-jock Piers Morgan has been crowned Britain’s sexiest male celebrity, knocking two-time winner Jeremy Clarkson from the top spot.

Speaking to The Sun, Morgan said: “This just proves that British women are the smartest and most discerning in the world, and the most likely to appreciate genuinely magnetic sex appeal.

“My thoughts with Jezza, Becks and poor old Prince Hypocrite Harry at this very difficult time.”

Steamy website Illicit Encounters conducted the survey, asking 2,000 UK women who they thought was the sexiest male celeb.

Danny Dyer, Dermot O’Leary, Jonathan Ross, Tim Lovejoy, politician Robert Jenrick, comedians Bob Mortimer and Romesh Ranganathan, and Ben Shephard also made the list.

The poll’s spokeswoman, Jessica Leoni, said: “Even we were taken aback when Piers soared to the top of the table.

“His unapologetic style clearly taps into something deeper for a lot of women — confidence, conviction, and not being afraid to ruffle feathers.”

The 60-year-old even tweeted about his big win, to which someone replied, “Ok, I clearly don’t understand your country.”

“I think it proves us Brits still have a great sense of humour if you were both the top 2 choices!” another wrote.

Hollywood star Tom Holland even tweeted his disappointment about not making the list.

“Terrible news - but bravely pretending I don’t care,” the Spider-Man actor wrote.
