**And STILL the UK’s Sexiest Man… Jeremy Clarkson Retains His Crown**

Jeremy Clarkson has once again claimed the title of the ‘UK’s Sexiest Man,’ following a poll conducted among 2,000 women by IllicitEncounters.com, a popular online dating site for married people.

In this annual survey, the site’s female members were presented with a list of 50 culturally relevant men from the past year and asked to rate them on a scale of 1-10 based on their sex appeal. Remarkably, the former *Top Gear* host topped the poll with an impressive score of 9/10.

Clarkson, who is also known for his adventures on *The Grand Tour* and his ownership of Diddly Squat Farm, managed to beat out stiff competition from a diverse array of contenders, including Prince William, Idris Elba, and Cillian Murphy.

This victory marks the second consecutive year that the 64-year-old has secured the top spot, dispelling any notions of a fluke. Even Spider-Man star Tom Holland, who garnered a solid score of 8/10, couldn’t dethrone Clarkson, landing in second place.

Prince William took the bronze, showing significant improvement from last year when he was ranked near the bottom. Gareth Southgate, the England football manager known for his signature waistcoat, captured fourth place, demonstrating the influence of football fever.

Oscar-winning actor Cillian Murphy secured fifth place, followed by *Luther* star Idris Elba and popular TV presenter Dermot O’Leary. The top 10 also featured rising stars from the past year, including *I’m A Celeb* winner Sam Campbell and endurance runner Russ ‘The Hardest Geezer’ Cook.

However, the poll revealed some surprising shifts lower down the list. Hollywood heartthrob Ryan Reynolds, who was fourth last year, dropped dramatically to 26th place. Similarly, last year’s bronze medallist, Mike Tindall, fell to 29th, and outspoken TV personality Piers Morgan slipped from 17th to 40th.

This annual poll highlights the subjective nature of attractiveness and confirms that beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder. Despite the surprising results, Jeremy Clarkson’s appeal seems unwavering, proving that his blend of rugged charm and outspoken personality continues to captivate the hearts of many across the UK.
