Brit celebs are all the rage at the moment with Cheryl Cole and Robert Pattinson being voted the famous faces (or lips) that people would most like to kiss under the mistletoe this Christmas.
The poll, carried out to mark the installation of the world’s largest sprig of mistletoe at Heathrow Terminal 5, asked over 1,000 people who they would most like to pucker up with under the traditional Christmas foliage.
Cheryl proved far more desirable than US beauties Megan Fox and Angelina Jolie, gaining a third of all votes (32 per cent) and even triumphed over X Factor co-judge Dannii Minogue, who only managed a meagre two per cent. It was a closer shave for Robert Pattinson, who pulled in 28 per cent of the vote, with fellow Brits Daniel Craig and Jude Law hot on his heels in second and third place (24 and 12 per cent respectively).
The results also show that Brits would rather plant a peck on the cheek of a UK celebrity rather than one of their American counterparts, seeing as Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston and Jake Gyllenhaal all missed out on the top spot.
The giant mistletoe, measuring ten foot by eight foot, took a team of designers and engineers three weeks to construct. It hangs three metres from the ground above the Terminal 5 arrival gate. Slightly smaller five foot bunches of mistletoe have been hung above the arrival gates of the airport’s other terminals.
Heathrow airport is expecting over three million passengers to fly into Heathrow in the lead up to Christmas and nearly half a million between Saturday 19th December and Thursday 24th December alone. Celebrities regularly pass through Heathrow’s arrivals halls, so some lucky passengers may just see their Kiss-Mas dream come true, underneath the airport’s new romantic installation.
Mike Brown, Heathrow’s chief operating officer, said: "Heathrow is often the place where friends and lovers are reunited at Christmas, or where people start their long journeys home to loved ones. We hope our giant mistletoe bring some added Christmas cheer and excitement to journeys taken over the festive period."
