DUDLEY funny man Lenny Henry is sitting pretty after being voted the eighth British sexiest man, according to a recent online survey.

The research, based on the views of 1,000 women across the UK, was conducted by allaboutyou.com, to discover who the 12 sexiest British men are in the eyes of the over 30s.

And Lenny came in at joint eighth place in the survey's 'dirty dozen' list scoring 17 per cent - alongside fashion guru Gok Wan.

The pair narrowly beat Huw Edwards, Charles Dance and Jeremy Paxman in the poll, but were left trailing by David Tennant who took the top place with 70 per cent, Daniel Craig who scooped second place with 56 per cent and Ewan McGregor took third with 55 per cent.

Other British men featuring in the British dirty dozen included Sean Connery, Sean Bean, Colin Firth and Lewis Hamilton.
