Jeremy Clarkson has been handed the title, something no one could have predicted… The Sexiest Men in the United Kingdom.
Indeed, the Clarkson’s Farm star, 62, earned hundreds of votes in a recent poll, putting him ahead of names like Gary Lineker, Idris Elba, and Mike Tindall.
Respondents in a study of 2,000 women around the country awarded points to a list of 50 male superstars from the fields of entertainment, politics, and sports.
Despite a history of making derogatory remarks, the former Top Gear host received eight out of ten points.
Gary, a football commentator, received seven and a half points, while Mike, a rugby player, received seven points.
Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis and X Factor judge Dermot O’Leary are two more celebrities that made the list and are in the top ten.
If you’re wondering what it is about Clarkson that makes him appear to be alluring, the dating site poll believes it’s all in the clothes.
‘Clarkson’s wax jacket and tweed shirt are helping give off the bad boy farmer feel that ladies find alluring,’ according to IllicitAffairs.com.
So there you have it.
The surprising outcome comes after the ITV personality made headlines in recent months for all the wrong reasons.
It began with his horrible statements on Meghan Markle, in which Clarkson wrote in a piece for The Sun that he despised her on a “cellular level” and hoped to see her “paraded through the streets” while others flung “excrement” at her.
Predictably, the broadcaster faced widespread criticism for his remarks, prompting an inquiry after more than 25,000 formal complaints were filed.
The presenter then claimed that he emailed Meghan and Prince Harry on Christmas Day to apologise, but the couple later claimed that he only emailed the Duke of Sussex.
Clarkson’s Amazon Prime TV series has also received criticism, ranging from the celebrity lashing out and calling people “morons” to planning approval issues.
As if that weren’t enough, there’s suspicion that Clarkson will not return to the helm. Who Who Want To Be A Millionaire?
But isn’t it the wax jacket and tweed shirt?
