Tonight I'm going to be Judy

If you could choose to be anyone in the world, the chances are Judy Finnigan would not be high on your list.

But, remarkably, the dowdy daytime TV presenter came fifth in a poll of most-envied celebrities. Thousands of us apparently also dream of being Carol Smillie, Joan Collins or Richard Branson.

But being young, fit, good-looking and wealthy are still the most enviable qualities, as Posh and Becks topped the lists of celebrities people would most like to be.

Women were impressed by glamour, with Kylie, Smillie, Collins and, erm, Finnigan making the top five, the survey by furniture store Harveys revealed.

Men preferred power, money and sex appeal, choosing Robbie Williams, Piers Brosnan and Paul McCartney. Harveys spokesman David Rich said: 'Most of us will happily admit we envy people around us.'
