Her sister may well have become one of the most famous ladies in the world on her wedding day back in April, but Pippa Middleton isn't too far behind her big sis the Duchess of Cambridge in the popularity scales.
According to a survey commissioned by T-Mobile and their 'Get More For Your Tenner' campaign, P-Middy is in the top three of 'celebrity personalities' Brits would like to see replace Charles Darwin on the back of the ten pound note.
Patrick Coxen, Propositions & Planning Director, T-Mobile UK, says: "Even though we use them daily, it would appear most of us pay little attention to the symbols and faces on our currency. However it seems there’s definitely an appetite to get for more from a tenner, with the UK identifying Lord Sugar and Pippa Middleton as the faces they’d like to see on the reverse of a £10 note - over more traditional historical figures of old."
A quarter of those asked voted for Pippa, with suprisingly Lord Alan Sugar (32%) and Keira Knightley (27%) to appear on the note instead. To show off the results T-Mobile commissioned three illustrations showing how these new notes may look with the chosen British idols on the reverse side of a tenner.
Pippa's popularity has soared in the past couple of months since her appearance in that Sarah Burton number as bridesmaid to the now Duchess of Cambridge. So much so she has significantly beaten once-established national treasure Cheryl Cole with only 13% and Mr Nasty himself Simon Cowell with 6%.
The survey hightlighted that 70% of Brits had no idea who was on the back of the not and of the 30% who said they knew only 73% correctly guessed Darwin - 13% believed it was Queen Victoria.
The commissioned notes show Lord Sugar with his well-known AMS1 number plate and a set of spurs for his football team. The icon rear shot of Pippa made the reverse of the note along with some running shoes for her love of running and Keira Knightley is shown alongside a pirate ship for her role in Pirates of the Caribbean and her Oscar.
