Amanda Holden voted UK’s “sexiest woman” in 2025’s surprise-filled poll

* Amanda Holden tops the first annual “UK’s Sexiest Woman” poll.

* Lily Allen, Stacey Solomon and Angela Rayner join her in the Top 5, alongside a mix of TV stars and unexpected political picks.

* 2,000 men rated 50 of the UK’s most famous and culturally relevant women on sex appeal.

* Poll conducted by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s largest extramarital dating site.

TV royalty Amanda Holden has been crowned the UK’s sexiest woman, topping IllicitEncounters.com’s first-ever poll dedicated to female public figures turning heads in 2025.

In the site’s inaugural Sexiest Woman poll, 2,000 male members were asked to rate 50 of the most talked-about women in British public life – from TV favourites and pop stars to politicians and presenters – on a scale of 1 to 10 based on their sex appeal.

Amanda Holden took the crown ahead of the release of Netflix’s controversial new reality show, Cheat: Unfinished Business, thanks to her cheeky confidence and age-defying presence. She was closely followed by pop provocateur Lily Allen (2nd), while Stacey Solomon (3rd) proved her down-to-earth warmth and Essex charm has huge appeal.

One of the biggest surprises was Angela Rayner, the Deputy Prime Minister, who claimed 4th place – upending political stereotypes and showing that no-nonsense sass and a killer blowdry are irresistible in 2025.

Meanwhile, This Morning’s Cat Deeley and TV it-girl Maya Jama made strong showings at 5th and 6th respectively. In the survey which asked men who (if given the chance) they would choose to have an affair with, Holly Willoughby, Zara McDermott and Carol Vorderman rounded out the Top 10.

GB News presenter, Ellie Costello, landed just outside the Top 10 in 11th place – narrowly missing out on a top-tier finish. Meanwhile, Eastenders star, Patsy Palmer, made a surprise re-entry into public affection after her stay in the Big Brother house, coming in strong at 13th.

Fashion icon Alexa Chung (17th) and actress-activist Jameela Jamil (19th) also featured high on the list, showing that brains and bold opinions never go unnoticed. 

Female politicians didn’t go unnoticed, with Suella Braverman taking 12th place while Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, found herself at 48th. 

Meghan Markle’s sparkle appears to be fading as she landed in last place at 50th. Meanwhile, Princess Kate fared slightly better than her sister-in-law, coming in at 27th.

The results come hot on the heels of last week’s ‘UK’s Sexiest Man’ results, which saw Piers Morgan rocket from 40th to 1st place, proving that controversy, confidence and charisma are firmly back in fashion.

Jessica Leoni, spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, said: “This year’s list proves that men’s tastes are evolving – and fast. Whether it’s Amanda Holden’s glam power or Angela Rayner’s political punch, what’s clear is that confidence and individuality are the new sexy. We’ve seen the same with Piers Morgan on the men’s list – there’s a growing appetite for personality over polish.”

The Itty Bitty Cheating Titty Committee – Women with Smaller Breasts Cheat!

* More than half of women who cheat have a cup size between AA and C
* B Cup is the most common bust size of a cheat – with 32B the most popular of the B’s 
* Adulterous women buy sexy lingerie for their lovers not their husbands
* Female loverats vote Marks & Spencer top choice shop for illicit lingerie 
* Results from a survey of 800 affair seeking ladies from leading married dating site IllicitEncounters.com

Know your ABC’s when it comes to cup sizes? It may help you spot a loverat! 

IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating site for married people, surveyed 800 of its female members to discover a few eye-opening facts about cheating and the size of a woman’s bosom.

The results found that over half (52%) of female loverats have bra size between AA and C cups – making women with smaller breasts more likely to cheat compared to their faithful counterparts or rather bigger busted ladies.

The number one cup size of an adulterer is a B cup with a whopping 27% of women claiming to be a size B – with 32B being the most popular.

Famous celebrities with cup size 32B who have had affairs include Kristen Stewart (32B) and Sienna Miller (32B). Other famous celebrity cheats with a smaller bust size include Meg Ryan (34A) and Amanda Holden (32C).

Husbands beware if your wife buys sexy underwear! The results also found that out of the 800 women surveyed only 11% buy sexy lingerie to wear for their husbands however an enormous 73% have bought lingerie to impress their affair-partner.

Marks and Spencer has been voted the number one place British cheats buy sexy underwear (37%) followed by Ann Summers (23%) and Victoria’s Secret (18%). 

Yasmin, 40, London, a member using IllicitEncounters.com said ‘Since starting an affair 6 months ago I’ve lost a ton of weight and I’ve never felt sexier. I regularly buy lingerie when I’m doing a food shop in Marks and Spencers and love to get dressed up for some steamy sessions with my lover. My husband doesn’t realise the purchases are for underwear on our joint account as it just shows up as Marks and Spencers – I just tell him I had to restock on detergent or wine.’

Another member, Georgina, 55, Liverpool, said ‘My lover has always said I have incredible breasts, more than a handful is a waste he says. I’ve been on diets all my life to remain petite. Small and slender was really popular in the 90s and that’s the kind of look I go for.’

Jessica Leoni, sex and relationships expert at IllicitEncounters.com, said ‘32B or not a B? That is the question! Turns out a small bust size can get you busted, whereas knockers won’t get you nicked! 

Of course affair-seekers aren’t getting sexy for their husbands – it’s their husbands who have made them lose confidence over time by taking them for granted. Women all over are reclaiming their sexual prowess by getting dressed up for their lovers. 

Why do cheats shop for lingerie at Marks and Sparks? It’s pretty obvious isn’t it? A woman juggling a household and a lover simply doesn’t have the time to shop around. Kill two birds with one stone by doing food and lingerie shopping at the same time. It’s also a great way to not raise any questions from suspecting husbands!’
