Jeremy Clarkson has officially been crowned the UK’s sexiest man on Thursday for the second year in a row. 

The presenter, 64, beat off a long list of competition including the likes of Prince William, Idris Elba and Cillian Murphy.

The Clarksons Farm star scored an impressive score of nine out of 10 points in the annual poll conducted by IllicitEncounters, which bills itself as ‘the best online dating site for married people’.

The latest entry into the top 10 UK’s sexiest man list was Spider Man actor Tom Holland who bagged himself second place. 

The Hollywood star, 27, who is dating actress Zendaya, scored an impressive eight points in the poll.

Completing the top three, is the Prince Of Wales, 41, who has raised in the vote after coming near the bottom last year.

The annual Sexiest Man poll from leading married dating site, Illicitencounters.com is voted by 2,000 of its female members. 

The woman are asked who they think the UKs sexiest man is, asking them to score a 50-strong list of the past year’s most famous, culturally relevant names from most to least ‘sexy’. Each name was scored 1-10 (10 being the highest) based on their ‘sexiness’.

In something of a boost for Gareth Southgate, 53, ahead of a massive summer for football, the England boss who is renowned for his waistcoat and soft knit fashion took fourth place – a placing he’ll be hoping to avoid in the 2024 Euros.

Bagging a eighth place was I’m A Celebrity winner and former Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson, 31, while ‘Hardest Geezer’ Russ Cook, 27, made ninth.

Oppenheimer star Cillian Murphy, 47, took fifth place in this year’s vote alongside Top 10 sexiest hunk regulars Idris Elba, and Dermot O’Leary.

And there were notable exits from this year’s Top 10, with Mike Tindall, 45, dropping from 3rd to 29th and Ryan Reynolds, 47, dropping from 4th to 26th.

Elsewhere Piers Morgan, 59, plummeted from 17th place last year to 40th this year.

Unlike his brother, Prince Harry, 39, finished miles away from the top of the table in 47th place. 

Jessica Leoni, spokesperson at Illicitencounters.com, who organise the annual UKs Sexiest Man poll, commented: ‘Clarkson and his farm is a bit like Noah’s ark and just like the animal’s in that story, his victory in the Sexiest Man vote has come in twos.

‘We all know about his brash persona, but the latest series of Diddly Squat has shown he can tug at heartstrings too – and clearly his famer look continues to set hearts racing.

‘Just like last year’s poll, we knew providing our members with a list of 50 famous names across both genders and asking them to score them on their ‘sexiness’ would throw up some surprises – we’re not putting it past Clarkson to go for the three-peat next year!’

Last year, Jeremy also landed himself the top spot as ladies couldn’t resist his ‘bad boy farm vibe’.

It comes after Jeremy revealed earlier this month that he is already filming season four of Clarkson’s Farm.

The Amazon Prime show will return after a successful three series which follow him whilst he attempts to run a farm despite having no farming experience.

The motor sport presenter turned farmer, revealed at an exclusive event at the Diddly Squat Farm: ‘We’re doing season four now…

Meanwhile Dermot O’Leary (L) and Idris Elba (R), who are Top 10 sexiest man regulars, also made the list

‘And every single day when we meet for filming, we have a vague idea about what I need to do, but I can guarantee it will change because the weather has changed, or some fence will have fallen down…

‘And you never know what you’re going to end up doing. As long as you get content, it doesn’t matter what it is.’

Jeremy was a presenter on Top Gear from October 1988 to March 1999.

He then presented the show’s new format from October 2002 to March 2015 along with co-presenters James May, 61, and Richard Hammond, 54, where he is credited with turning Top Gear into the most-watched TV show on BBC Two.

In July 2015, it was announced that Jeremy, along with Richard Hammond and James May would present a new show on Amazon Prime Video called The Grand Tour which would see the trio touring the world in different cars and locations.
