Brits choose Kylie as dream swap partner
90s favourite holds strong: Kylie still top of the swaps, according to Orange research
London, UK – 13th September, 2011 – Brand new research from Orange has named pint-sized popstar Kylie as the dream ‘swap’ for the UK male population, according to new research released to support Orange’s new Swapables plan. Trumping younger starlets such as Cheryl Cole, the Aussie songbird topped the charts when men were asked which celebrity they’d consider swapping their partner for, while women named George Clooney as their top choice.
In male choices, the line-up of celebrity dream swaps was as follows:
- Kylie Minogue – 36%
- Cheryl Cole – 24%
- Angelina Jolie -21%
- Myleene Klass – 13%
- Halle Berry – 6%
When asked who they’d consider swapping their hubbies and partners for, female respondents chose classic Hollywood figures such as George Clooney and Brad Pitt, but flew the flag for Britain with hunky dad of four David Beckham and TV’s Mr Grumpy, Simon Cowell.
The breakdown of female choices was as follows:
- George Clooney – 43%
- David Beckham – 27%
- Brad Pitt – 16%
- Robbie Williams – 10%
- Simon Cowell – 4%
Proving that beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder, the poll also unveiled votes for ‘acquired tastes; such as Olympian Sebastian Coe, 80’s icon Toyah Wilcox, grannies’ favourite Cliff Richard, The Only Way is Essex’s Mark Wright and Rod Stewart!
Chief Marketing Officer Pippa Dunn said: "We're not surprised to hear that the UK is a nation of swappers"
