A tongue-in-cheek poll of TV favourites has come up with a permatanned top ten, and in pride of place at Number One is Cat Deeley.

The CD:UK presenter's devotion to St Tropez fake tan left rivals trailing in her wake. Daytime favourite Dale Winton won second place for his glow-in-the-dark look, followed by pop star Christina Aguilera.

David Dickinson, tangerine-featured host of Bargain Hunt, will be disappointed to come in only fourth, followed by burnished football pundit Terry Venables.

Jordan, who was criticised for going under a sunbed while pregnant, was in eighth, just pipping rival model Jodie Marsh. And the final spot went to Italian Nancy Dell'Olio.

The poll was carried out by - who else? - Terry's Chocolate Orange.
