Piers Morgan beats Jeremy Clarkson to be named UK’s sexiest man
The 60-year-old broadcaster has overtaken last year’s winner, former Top Gear presenter and Clarkson’s Farm star Jeremy Clarkson, 64.
Speaking to The Sun about the result, Morgan said: “This just proves that British women are the smartest and most discerning in the world, and the most likely to appreciate genuinely magnetic sex appeal.”
The poll was conducted by Illicit Encounters — a dating website aimed at married people seeking an affair.
Other names on the top list included Dermot O’Leary, Danny Dyer, Tim Lovejoy, Jonathan Ross, Ben Shephard, Romesh Ranganathan and Bob Mortimer.
Recently, Clarkson shut down James May’s claims that he won’t be appearing in The Grand Tour reunion specials.
Last week, May claimed Clarkson was absent from the four retrospective Grand Tour episodes that will be released later this year and in 2026 which look back over the best moments from the Amazon Prime motoring show.
“Well, I’m afraid it’s not a reunion. The Not Very Grand Tour is essentially a best-of compilation hosted from the studio by me and Richard Hammond,” May, 62, told Al Arabiya News host Tom Burges Watson on his show.
“Jeremy Clarkson wasn't available for some reason, but we're all in the clips. It's all things you've seen before, but chopped up in a different way. We recorded it a while back. I can't remember why he couldn't be there. He was probably busy.”
Clarkson refuted May’s claims at the weekend, writing on X: “I fear the poor old dear has become senile. Because while he can’t remember me being there, I can.”
A fan replied jokingly, “To be fair, May has been 85 years old for the last 40 years lol,” to which the former Top Gear host quipped back: “He was 85 when he was born.”
Another fan asked why they were releasing special episodes after airing a two-hour finale in September, which saw Clarkson, May, and Richard Hammond travel to Zimbabwe.
“Didn't y'all end that s**t? What was that emotional ‘final’ episode for?” the user questioned.
“To be clear, there are some ‘best ofs’ coming. Zimbabwe was the last one. I have too many cows now to go swanning off,” Clarkson responded, referencing the farm he looks after in the Cotswolds.
