‘Sexiest Politician’ Debate Makes It to Parliament

The key findings

* The annual poll by IllicitEncounters.com crowned Nigel Farage and Angela Rayner Britain’s ‘sexiest politician’.

* Results from the poll sparked a media frenzy, with discussions about the results aired on ITV’s Lorraine and This Morning, as well as Jeremy Vine’s show on Channel 5.

* The poll also became a talking point in the Houses of Commons when Reform MP Richard Tice brought up the topic in Parliament.

It’s the story that got everyone talking this morning – from daytime TV sofas to the green benches of Westminster. The results of this year’s annual UK’s Sexiest Politicians poll by IllicitEncounters.com didn’t just light up the press – it even made its way into the House of Commons.

That’s right. Reform MP Richard Tice stood up in Parliament this morning and, with a glint of mischief in his eye, declared: “It’s important to celebrate the awards given to honourable colleagues. So will the Leader join me in congratulating both the Deputy Prime Minister and also the honourable member for Clacton for winning the award in their respective categories as Britain’s sexiest politicians, on that well-known website IllicitEncounters.com? Does she recommend they have dinner together?”

The line earned chuckles across the chamber – and sealed the poll’s place in political pop culture history.

The cheeky parliamentary moment capped off a media frenzy that saw the poll discussed everywhere from ITV’s Lorraine and This Morning to Jeremy Vine’s Channel 5 show, proving political sex appeal is no longer just tabloid fodder but mainstream conversation.

At the heart of the commotion? Nigel Farage and Angela Rayner, who were crowned the UK’s sexiest male and female politicians for 2025. Farage retained his title for the second year running, proving once again that his signature rebellious charm and unapologetic swagger haven’t lost their edge.

Rayner, meanwhile, soared from fifth place last year to first, her fiery wit and fierce authenticity striking a chord with admirers across the political spectrum.

Not far behind Farage was Robert Jenrick, who narrowly missed out on the top spot by a single percentage point. Also climbing the ranks were James Cleverly, jumping from seventh to third, and newcomers Dan Aldridge and James McMurdock, who made bold debuts in the top five.

On the women’s list, Reform UK’s Sarah Pochin made an immediate impact with a second-place debut, nudging last year’s winner, Suella Braverman, into third. Labour’s Jade Botterill and Conservative Julia Lopez rounded out the top five.

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Jessica Leoni, sex and relationships expert at IllicitEncounters.com, said: “When we first ran this poll, we never imagined it would end up being spoken about in the House of Commons – but here we are. Whether it’s on Lorraine, This Morning or in Westminster, it’s clear this light-hearted look at power and attraction has struck a national chord.

Farage holding onto his crown, Angela Rayner rocketing to the top, and Robert Jenrick becoming a surprise heartthrob – it all proves that in politics, it’s not just policies that turn heads. Power, presence and a bit of cheek clearly go a long way.”

UK’s Sexiest Politicians For 2025 Revealed

The key findings

* Nigel Farage and Angela Rayner are officially the UK’s sexiest politicians.

* The Reform UK leader has managed to hold on to his crown for the second year running, whilst Angela Rayner shot to the top after coming 5th in 2024. 

* The Tories remain the sexiest party (33%), but Labour (31.5%) and Reform UK (27.5%) follow closely behind.

* The results come from an annual survey of members on IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people.

The UK’s ‘sexiest politician’ annual poll by IllicitEncounters.com has revealed some surprising shifts this year – but one man in particular is standing firm.

Nigel Farage has once again been crowned the UK’s sexiest male politician, securing 21% of the vote. The Reform UK leader, whose cheeky grin and maverick charm seem immune to fading appeal, topped the male rankings for the second year running.

Hot on his heels – just one tantalising percentage point behind – was Conservative Robert Jenrick, who earned 20% of the vote, firmly establishing himself as Westminster’s newest pin-up.

In a major leap, James Cleverly has surged from seventh place last year to third in this year’s poll. Labour’s Dan Aldridge and Reform UK’s James McMurdock made their debut on the list, securing fourth (12%) and fifth place (10%) respectively.

Notably, Prime Minister Keir Starmer saw a steep decline in votes, falling from 3rd place in 2024 to 9th in this year’s rankings.

Among female politicians, Angela Rayner’s rise has been nothing short of meteoric. Labour’s deputy Prime Minister has surged from fifth place last year to claim the top spot, as her blend of working-class grit, fiery wit, and unapologetic passion appears to have won over male voters in droves.

Following closely behind was Reform UK’s Sarah Pochin, who took 19% of the vote, making a striking debut in this year’s poll. 

Suella Braverman – last year’s winner – still holds strong in third place with 15%, Labour’s Jade Botterill followed in fourth with 14%, and Conservative Julia Lopez rounded out the top five with 12%.

Overall, the Tories once again came out on top taking 33% of the total vote share across both male and female categories, making it the sexiest party – but only just. Labour followed closely behind (31.5%) and surprisingly, Reform UK is inching closer with 27.5% of the vote.

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Commenting on the results of this year’s poll, Jessica Leoni, sex and relationships expert at IllicitEncounters.com said, “Farage has proved once again he’s the political equivalent of that leather jacket in your wardrobe – slightly controversial, impossible to get rid of, and somehow still looking good after all these years. 

In politics, power is an aphrodisiac – and our members are never shy about telling us who gets their hearts racing. This year’s results show that confidence, conviction, and a little controversy remain irresistible traits.”

UK’s Sexiest Politicians For 2024 Revealed

The key findings

* Nigel Farage and Suella Braverman are officially the UK’s sexiest politicians.

* With 23% of the female vote and 21% of the male vote, Nigel Farage and Suellla Braverman top the list.

* The Tories beat Labour as the sexiest overall party.

* The results come from a survey of members on IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people.

With the general election just weeks away, IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people, has asked its members to take part in a poll to find out which politician they find sexiest.

In a surprise twist, the ever-controversial Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, has clinched the top spot, capturing 23% of the female vote. 

Not far behind, rugged and ready Conservative Johnny Mercer snagged second place (18%), with his military background clearing striking a chord with the ladies.

Hot on his heels is Labour leader Keir Starmer, who pulled in 16% of the vote, followed oddly, by Jacob Rees-Mogg (12%) whose old-school charm is seemingly setting hearts aflutter.

Conservative Ben Everett, who came under fire for posting ‘thirst trap’ photos on Instagram in November last year made the top 5 with 9% of the vote.

Sadly for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, his star seems to have dimmed since 2020, when he topped the poll, this year gaining just 3% of the vote.

For men, the sexiest female politician is, rather controversially, Conservative Suella Braverman (21%).

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Close on her heels is Labour’s Rosena Allin-Khan with 19%. Dr. Allin-Khan’s blend of compassion, intelligence, and striking looks clearly makes her a standout politician.

Conservative Esther McVey and former GB News presenter rounded off the top 3 with 15% of the vote.

Overall, the Tories came out on top taking 51% of the total vote share across both male and female categories, making them the sexiest party, compared to a disappointing 28.5% for Labour.

Jessica Leoni, sex and relationships expert at IllicitEncounters.com said, “The latest poll on the UK’s sexiest people in politics has thrown a bit of a curveball with Nigel Farage and Suella Braverman crowned the reigning hotties.

When it comes to what makes politicians sexy, it’s not just about looks – it’s about swagger, confidence, and a dash of power that gets the heart racing. Nigel Farage, with his unapologetic, cheeky grin and devil-may-care attitude, seems to channel that bad boy charm women can’t resist – and his appearance on ‘I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here’ last year clearly worked wonders for his image.

Meanwhile, Suella Braverman’s poised, no-nonsense demeanour exudes a fierce passion and authority that’s seemingly undeniably attractive for a lot of men.

Politics isn’t just about policies – it’s also a stage where charisma shines, and let’s face it, a little bit of controversy adds a spark of sexual intrigue too. 

Our poll will be running for our members right until election day, and I have no doubt we’ll see these politicians shuffling up and down this list based on their actions over the next couple of weeks!”​

Boris Johnson Voted Most Bed-able Politician

What the numbers show

· Boris Johnson voted most bed-able politician
· Adulterers would divorce their partners for Green party leaders Jonathan Bartley and Siân Berry
· Politician we’d most like to avoid is Nigel Farage
· Poll run by IllicitEncounters.comthe UK’s leading dating website for married people

With politics in disarray and nobody quite sure what’s going on with Brexit, one thing is for certain that the race for a seat as a member of parliament has become a popularity contest.

Who to trust to lead our country into prosperity? IllicitEncounters.com put the vote to 1200 of its members with a slightly different kind of poll – asking who they would like to cheat with, divorce their spouse for or avoid. Afterall, cheating and politics has often gone hand in hand.

The poll indicates most women would cheat with Boris Johnson (47%) and more than half of men would be unfaithful with Jo Swinson (51%).

Both Green Party leaders won the divorce spouse for category. Jonathan Bartley came top for women (35%) and Siân Berry for men (22%).

More politicians then ever ranked high in the avoid category with Nigel Farage scoring the highest with 82% of women choosing to avoid him, closely followed by Jeremy Corbyn 74%, Arlene Foster 71% and Nicola Sturgeon 65%. Such high avoid scores suggest that our collective impression of politicians, in general, currently fairs quite low.

Full details of winners are listed below:

Have an affair with

Boris Johnson
Marital Status: It’s Complicated

“The Tory leader has set pulses racing as the most bed-able politician in the upcoming elections. No surprise there, Bojo oozes irresistible charm and he can make a woman laugh – humour goes a long way. Some might even say, one minute you’re laughing, next minute your clothes are off! Boris is a man of his word, or lack thereof, regularly avoiding an interview with Scottish broadcaster Andrew Neil – making him a very discrete affair candidate. Women are safe in the knowledge he can keep things under wraps – including how many kids that he’s fathered.

We can all agree Bojo is a bit like marmite, whether you love him or hate him – it’s safe to say he does attract a lot of attention. Who knows, perhaps Boris could even teach us a thing or two about pole dancing, what a tease.”

Jo Swinson
Marital Status: Married

“Jo Swinson is a natural affair-seekers choice. She is genuine, full of life and inspirational, with a charming Scottish accent to boot. She is also the youngest and only female to ever hold the position of leader of the Lib Dems – this kind of ambition is very attractive. Jo is relatively new to the role, but there is no disputing, that the Swinson Surge truly extends to who voters would most want to cheat on their spouse with.”

Would have a divorce for

Jonathan Bartley
Marital Status: Separated

“Oh, Jonathan. The co-leader of the Green party, and a born and bred Londoner, it is no surprise many women have voted to leave their husbands for him. Jonathan is irresistible, good-looking, with a cracking smile and confidence without the cockiness. To top it off he’s in a band! No matter the age, women will always fall at the feet of a Rockstar. Jonathan is the drummer for the blues rock band the Mustangs and even played Glasto a couple of years ago. Swoon.”

Siân Berry
Marital Status: Single

“Miss Berry the Green goddess, eco warrior once described as ‘environmental viagra’. A blonde, blue eyed beauty – with a lovely smile, not only that but Siân is smart and articulate – it is unsurprising men are drawn to her. Siân embodies the epitome of a strong and confident woman.”

Avoid

Nigel Farage
Marital Status: Married

“Leader of the Brexit party, Nigel is not winning any popularity contests anytime soon. Mr. Farage gives off a demeanour of a villain with controversial views on firearms and immigration. He simply does not appeal to women for any type of romance.”

Arlene Foster
Marital Status: Married

“The northern Irish politician ranks highest in the avoid category for men. Being a married mother of three could easily contribute to her lack of sex appeal for men.”

Adulterers back Boris Johnson for Prime Minister as Brexit leads to a surge in cheating

About the research

Adulterers back Boris Johnson for Prime Minister as Brexit leads to a surge in cheating

* Boris beats Jeremy Hunt by 82%-18% in a poll of 2,000 people by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating site for married people;

* Boris wins 90%-10% with men but he is less popular with women adulterers, still winning 74%-26%;

* But he lags behind Nigel Farage as the UK’s favourite politician amongst adulterers while Jeremy Corbn came bottom;

* More people have signed up to extra-marital dating sites than the Tory Party since the Brexit vote three years ago 


Adulterers are backing Boris Johnson for Prime Minister as Brexit leads to a surge in cheating, according to a new survey.

Boris beat Jeremy Hunt by 82%-18% in a poll of 2,000 people split evenly amongst the sexes by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating site for married people.

Boris is more popular with men than women.He beats Jeremy Hunt by 90%-10% amongst men. The figure falls to 74%-26% for women.

But even Boris cannot match the Brexit Party’s leader Nigel Farage in terms of popularity.

Farage was picked by 32% of adulterers when asked who would make the best Prime Minister, followed by Boris on 24%, Michael Gove on 11% and Jeremy Hunt in fourth place on 10%. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn came bottom with just 1% of the vote.

The results were revealed as new figures showed a surge in adultery since the UK voted to leave Europe three years ago.


Registrations to extra-marital dating sites have shot up by 27% since 2016.

IllicitEncounters, with the highest number of members in the UK, has welcomed 42,000 new members alone since the referendum vote – similar to the number of new members the Tory Party has attracted over the same period.


Both Boris and Farage have split with their wives since the Brexit vote. And the success of adulterous politicians is seen as giving “permission to cheat” to adulterers who view being unfaithful as no barrier to career advancement.

Adulterers are overwhelmingly in favour of Brexit with 72% voting to leave Europe against 28% supporting Remain.

This is reflected in General Election voting intentions with 36% backing Farage’s Brexit Party, 28% for the Tories, 20% for Labour, 10% for the Liberal Democrats and 6% for the Greens.

Jessica Leoni, relationship expert for IllicitEncounters.com, said: “Obviously adulterers back Boris in a straight fight with Jeremy Hunt – they want one of their own in Number 10!

“No surprise that he is more popular with men than women. Women are going to look on him less favourably because of his past affairs.

“Boris is still the overwhelming favourite to win the contest despite the chaos in his private life.

“If the nation is prepared to turn a blind eye to Boris being unfaithful, then there is a feeling that cheating will be normalised amongst the general population, too. 

“Boris’s election will give adulterers the permission to cheat.

 “We are increasingly sharing similar attitudes to the French who expect their politicians to be unfaithful and have elected one adulterer after another to be President.

“It shows we are all growing up about sex and not being slaves to fidelity.”

More than 1 million people have registered with IllicitEncounters.com since it started 16 years ago.

The average male adulterer is a BMW driving golf fan working in finance and living in the South East, earning £60,000 a year.

Typical female adulterers love going to the gym, drive a Mini, watch The Great British Bake Off and earn an average of £47,000 a year. 


Who would make the best Prime Minister, according to adulterers

 

1 Nigel Farage 32%

2 Boris Johnson 24%

3 Michael Gove 11%

4 Jeremy Hunt 10%

5 Dominic Raab 8%

6 Sajid Javid 5%

7 Rory Stewart 4%

8 Sadiq Khan 3%

9 Ruth Davidson 2%

10 Jeremy Corbyn 1%

UK’s Sexiest Politicians For 2018 Revealed

The key findings

  • Boris Johnson and Laura Pidcock top annual list of UK’s sexiest politicians.
  • Theresa May drops from top spot in 2017 to make the list of least sexy in 2018.
  • MEP Nigel Farage voted as least desirable male UK politician.
  • DUP’s Arlene Foster crowned as least beddable female politician.
  • Labour beat Conservative as sexiest overall party.
  • Results come from survey conducted on 3000 members of dating website IllicitEncounters.com.

Conservative MP and former Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson has come out on top of an annual poll of the sexiest male UK politicians according to a recent survey.

What the numbers show

Boris beat fellow Conservative Jeremy Hunt, who dropped to second after taking the top spot in 2017. Conservative MP for Braintree and newcomer to the list, James Cleverly placed third. Overall, Conservatives received a little over half of the total votes for the sexiest male politicians (56%).

Although the top three spots were all occupied by Conservatives, Labour did make it into the top five as well. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and  Manchester’s Mayor Andy Burnham took fourth and fifth positions in the poll.

Labour took the lion’s share of the vote in the ladies category with Laura Pidcock, Luciana Berger, and Rebecca Long-Bailey taking the top three positions respectively. Labour ladies accounted for almost 8 out of every 10 ballots cast (79%)

Overall, Labour came out on top taking 58.5% of the total vote share across both male and female categories, compared to a conservative 35% for the Conservatives.

Participants of the survey were asked to vote for the least sexy politicians. Nigel Farage was selected as the least desirable male with one in four votes going to the far right Brexiteer.

Most shocking was Prime Minister Theresa May’s fall from grace, voted as sexiest female politician in 2017, this year she is now in the top three least desirable UK female politicians, below Nicola Sturgeon who placed second and the least sexy female politician in the U.K for 2018, Arlene Foster.

The recent survey was conducted with 3000 adulterers on IllicitEncounters.com, the U.K’s leading dating website for married people and the foremost authority on infidelity

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Christian Grant explains:

“I love the fact that Boris topped the list of beddable politicians, it is hard to deny the man has a certain oafish charm about him and it clearly resonates with the women who use our site. He is most definitely a character, and personality is a powerful draw.”

“Labour have fared extremely well in the female category and this could be down to the fact that Labour have enjoyed a grassroots lead insurgency of young, passionate, people centred politicians, though a more likely explanation is they have the best looking women. In that regard they would certainly have my vote.”

“It was also a surprise to see Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn in the top 5, there must be something about homemade jam and the Geography teacher look that is making a comeback in the sex appeal department.”

“It seems Theresa May has fallen out of favour with more than just her party, perhaps it was her dodgy deal with the DUP, or her no deal Brexit strategy, whatever the case may be she is now in the top three least desirable, almost as shocking a result as the last General Election. The Prime Minister just can’t seem to catch a break of late.”

David Cameron, Ed Milliband, Nick Clegg and Nigel Farage receive Mistresses for the New Year?

mbqpfightrfrih0pw3js

New research released today showed that cheaters are twice as likely to be in political jobs than those in low-salary brackets. UK political leaders, including Prime Minister David Cameron, Ed Miliband, Nick Clegg and Nigel Farage have this week received posted invites from IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s top married dating site, encouraging them to cheat online.

Psychologist Lucy Redford said that men in power are more likely to cheat because “The feeling of invincibility is a natural by-product of the rise to political power. They feel like they won’t get caught, or if they do get caught they believe they will be able to talk their way out of it, which politicians are very good at.”

The research found that of the 1,000 cheating people surveyed, 235 of them were earning over £60,000, in political roles such as senior civil servants, head of government departments, parliamentary officials, political representatives or local councillors; compared to the 110 earning under £28,000, and in junior management or executive roles.

Claire Page, spokesperson for Illicit Encounters said there are many high-profile politicians using the website – “Our priority for us and for our customers is discretion. We facilitate affairs easily in a stress-free environment, where the big players look for escapism from their high-pressure professional life. Those in politics are particularly unfaithful, such as French president François Hollande, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Vance McAllister. It’s so common today that people barely bat an eyelid when they hear that yet another politician has had an affair. Hollande actually got a popularity boost after his affair revelations!

“Today, a lot of marriages, especially in politics, are more business unions, such as the partnership between Bill and Hillary Clinton. The spark in the marriage may have gone, but there are other reasons to stay, such as voters’ support which is increased with a united façade, but why should they lose out on any romanticism or sex life when they can still have it so easily online?”
