Zooey Deschanel Named 'Most Desirable Woman'

17:19, Wednesday, 1 February 2012

Actress Zooey Deschanel has been named as the woman most British men desire in a new poll by AskMen.com.

The 500 Days Of Summer star beat the likes of Emma Watson and Rihanna to the title, after 150,000 UK readers of the website were asked to vote on looks, sex appeal and who would make their ideal partner.

Deschanel's blue eyes and witty persona are thought to have contributed to her win, with editor of AskMen, Charlie Parrish stating: "She's talented, charming, successful and beautiful, someone men want to be with and women would like to befriend.

"This year, we've really seen the developing tastes of British men reflected in their votes and it's incredibly positive to discover so many cultured, contemporary choices like Zooey, Emma Watson and Lana Del Rey beating the more traditional pin-up favourites."

Harry Potter actress Emma came second, while model Daisy Lowe, Lana Del Rey and Friends With Benefits star Mila Kunis completed the top five.

Pippa Middleton finished ahead of her sister Kate Middleton in the vote, with Katy Perry and X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos also making the top ten.

It seems the men of Britain have fallen out of love with former Nation's Sweetheart Cheryl Cole, who finished at a disappointing No.35.
