4 weeks ago 10

From Victoria Beckham to Gordon Ramsay, some of the most recognisable celebrities in the world hail from the UK. 

But which famous Brits have the most desirable features?

Dating app Wisp asked 1,200 singletons to construct their ideal partner by choosing from a selection of well-known UK stars. 

From eyes and voice, to humour and attitude, the results offer a glimpe into what modern daters truly value. 

According to the singletons, Jason Statham's hair, Piers Morgan's eyes, and Jeremy Clarkson's wit make up the 'perfect man'. 

Meanwhile, Molly-Mae Hague's hair, Jesy Nelson's lips, and Emma Willis' personality top the female fantasy list. 

MailOnline fed these results into AI bot ChatGPT to visualise what the ideal man and woman really look like. 

So, would you date them? 

The ideal man

Jason Statham's hair (or lack of!) was found to be the most desirable among British singletons, with 53 per cent choosing his bald head for their dream man. 

In fact, the action star's hair pipped David Beckham's, Harry Styles', and both Prince William's and Prince Harry's hairstyles to the post!

When it comes to the ideal man's eyes, Piers Morgan topped the list, with his blue eyes chosen by 41 per cent of respondents. 

Other favourite eyes included Idris Elba (33 per cent), Will Best (16 per cent), Jamie Dornan (six per cent), and Brooklyn Beckham (four per cent). 

Sam Thompson was the top choice for noses, chosen by almost a third (29 per cent) or participants. 

This was followed by Ben Shepherd (25 per cent), Lewis Hamilton (19 per cent), Joe Swash (14 per cent), and Big Zuu (13 per cent). 

Another Made In Chelsea star to feature in the ideal man is Jamie Laing, whose mouth was found to be the top choice (51 per cent). 

Gary Lineker was the top choice for attitude, ahead of Danny Jones, Simon Cowell, Liam Gallagher, and Nigel Farage

In terms of humor, participants opted for Jeremy Clarkson (41 per cent) over Romesh Ranganathan (29 per cent), Mo Gilligan (17 per cent), Ant McPartlin (seven per cent), and Declan Donnelly (six per cent)

What does this mean for singletons?

The survey highlights the gap between how people present themselves online and what truly sparks chemistry, according to Wisp's dating expert Sylvia Linzalone.

'It's easy to notice someone's hair, eyes or body in photos when you match with someone on a dating app – but real attraction goes deeper,' she said. 

'You can't hear someone's voice, feel their energy or truly gauge their humour through a screen.

'That's why Wisp is designed to get people off their phones and into real-life dates, where real chemistry happens.'

HOW HAVE IDEAS ABOUT THE 'PERFECT' FEMALE BODY CHANGED?

Perceptions of the ideal female body can be linked to representations of women in media, whether found in pop culture, fashion or even politics.

These images of feminine attractiveness have changed significantly over the years.

1910 The Gibson Girl - An image produced by American graphic artist Charles Dana Gibson depicted the ideal female figure as tall and regal with an S-curve torso shape

1920 The Flapper -  Cultural change sparked by the suffragette movement gave birth to short hair, knee length dresses and a more rambunctious, yet petite, view of female beauty

1950 The Hourglass -  Voluptuous curves became important following the end of WWII, which also saw the creation of one of the most influential female bodies, Barbie 

1960 The Twig - British cultural icon and model Twiggy brought forward an androgynous look in female ideals where small breasts and thinness were key

1990 Heroin Chic - Supermodels like Kate Moss bring their thin grunge looks to the runway  

Today - Muscular and toned bodies are preferred over slim figures
