Dec Donnelly has been voted hotter than his co-presenter Ant McPartlin.

It was put to the vote after the racy question was on everyone's lips in the I'm A Celebrity camp this series.

Girls Aloud star Nadine Coyle waved the flag for Dec yet queen of the jungle Jacqueline Jossa favoured his partner.

However, when it was put to vote, Dec was named the sexiest of the two Geordie presenters by 59% of the British public.

Leicester was the only place on the UK map which found Ant to be more good looking than his partner.

It doesn't raise any eyebrows as fans were drooling over Dec's "massive bulge" during his I'm A Celeb stint and joked his wife is a "lucky lady".

The controversial poll was answered by 2,000 adults made up of a selection of men and women.

Head of Research at Ginger Research David Arnold said the only town in the UK where residents perceived Ant to be more handsome than Dec was in Leicester.

He said of the research he commissioned: “We decided to put the question to the nation, and they have spoken – Dec is fitter.

“However, if Ant wants a kiss under the mistletoe this Christmas it looks like he should head to Leicester, as it was the only town in the UK where residents believe Ant is more handsome.

"And it’s only 190 miles from his native Newcastle.”

Unfortunately for Brits, both Ant and Dec are taken by two lovely women in their lives.

Dec has been married to Ali Astall since 2015 and they are bringing up their daughter Isla together.

Ant has been romancing Anne-Marie Corbett following the breakdown of his marriage to Lisa Armstrong.
