London: For the second time in a row, Jeremy Clarkson has been official crowned as the United Kingdom and Ireland's sexiest man on Thursday. The 64-year-old managed to outshine a strong list of contenders, including Prince William, Idris Elba, and Cillian Murphy.
According to the Daily Mail, the star of Clarkson's Farm achieved an impressive score of nine out of ten in the annual poll conducted by IllicitEncounters, which markets itself as 'the best online dating site for married people'. The latest entry made to the top 10 list of the UK's sexiest men is Spider-Man actor Tom Holland, who secured second place, with eight points.
Rounding out the top three is the Prince of Wales, who climbed the ranks after being near the bottom last year.
The annual Sexiest Man poll from leading married dating site IllicitEncounters.com is voted on by 2,000 of its female members. The women are asked to rate a list of 50 of the past year's most famous, culturally relevant men from most to least 'sexy', scoring each name from 1 to 10 (10 being the highest) based on their 'sexiness'.
Jessica Leoni, spokesperson at IllicitEncounters.com, who organises the annual UK’s Sexiest Man poll, said, "Clarkson and his farm is a bit like Noah's Ark and just like the animals in that story, his victory in the Sexiest Man vote has come in twos."
"We all know about his brash persona, but the latest series of Diddly Squat has shown he can tug at heartstrings too - and clearly his farmer look continues to set hearts racing," added Jesica.
Leoni further said, "Just like last year's poll, we knew providing our members with a list of 50 famous names across both genders and asking them to score them on their 'sexiness' would throw up some surprises - we're not putting it past Clarkson to go for the three-peat next year!"
Last year, Jeremy also secured the top spot as women couldn’t resist his 'bad boy farm vibe'.
This news comes after Jeremy revealed earlier this month that he is already filming season four of Clarkson’s Farm. The Amazon Prime show will return after three successful series that follow him attempting to run a farm despite having no farming experience.
Jeremy was a presenter on Top Gear from October 1988 to March 1999. He then presented the show's new format from October 2002 to March 2015 along with co-presenters James May and Richard Hammond where he is credited with turning Top Gear into the most-watched TV show on BBC Two.
In July 2015, it was announced that Jeremy, along with Richard Hammond and James May, would present a new show on Amazon Prime Video called The Grand Tour, which would see the trio touring the world in different cars and locations.
