Do you know who it is yet?  Yep, Rolf Harris, who admitted to be a fan of the show for several years and is really excited by the invitation to appear on the show for the first time.

Celebrities turned-out today for the funeral of Sir Clement Freud, on what would have been his 85th birthday.  The service took place at a church near Fleet Street in London and was said to be filled with laughter in a celebration of the former MP’s life.

Pierce Brosnan

Mamma Mia star Pierce Brosnan’s Irish eyes must be smiling today as he tops a national UK poll to unearth the sexiest Irish celebrity, with 14% of the country and over a quarter (26%) of UK women finding him the sexiest Irish star.  Bad boy Colin Farrell and singing stunner Andrea Corr both came in second place polling 10% of the vote each, with Hollywood hell-raiser Colin also scoring with the boys – 3% of British men think he’s the sexiest Irish star.

The YouGov* survey, commissioned by communications consultancy Eulogy! to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, wasn’t good news for all – poor Louis Walsh must have mislaid his X Factor as he didn’t score a single vote when even smooth-tongued presenter Terry Wogan managed 2% of the vote.  And, unlike their music, musicians Bono and Bob Geldof didn’t even get a look-in in the top 10, both polling enough votes for an equal fifteenth place (1% each).

The top three sexiest Irish women, as voted by the men, are: Andrea Corr in first place (with 19%), the One Show’s Christine Bleakley second (with 11%) and Girls Aloud’s Nadine Coyle third (with 10%).  However, Bangor beauty and Dancing On Ice star Zoe Salmon scored highly in her home region of Northern Ireland with 16% – coming in overall first place in Northern Ireland.

And the sexiest men, as voted by the women: Pierce in first place with 26%, Colin Farell second with 17% and Ronan Keating third with 13% of the vote.
