The actress, who plays Mercedes McQueen in the Channel 4 drama, admitted she was very "surprised" to win the bottom-based accolade.

The 33-year-old thanked her mother, Mary, for passing on her "small waist and big bum", before revealing that she maintains her physique with regular exercise and a healthy diet.

Jennifer fended off stiff competition from Countdown beauty Rachel Riley, who came in second place, as well as This Morning's Holly Willoughby in third.

The curvaceous TV regular was also joined in the top five by former Strictly Come Dancing professional and new mum Ola Jordan and Amanda Holden.
