Jeremy Clarkson has been named the UK 's "sexiest man" once again, with him having now been given the title for the second year in a row following a survey of 2,000 people.
The presenter, 64, is best known for having fronted shows like Top Gear and the Grand Tour over the years. He's now among the cast of the docuseries Clarkson's Farm, which returned for its third season earlier this month.
Following the show's return, it has been announced that Jeremy has been named the "sexiest man" in the country again in an annual poll by conducted by IllicitEncounters, which describes itself as a "leading married-dating website". The journalist was voted top of the same poll last year too.
The results, which have been shared this week, and the poll by the dating website is said to be "voted by 2,000 of its female members". It adds that those surveyed are asked to rate a list of 50 of the "most famous, culturally relevant names" from the past year, ranking them from most to least "sexy". Each name is said to be scored from 1 to 10 based on their "sexiness," with 10 being the highest.
Jeremy is said to have scored nine out of ten points in the poll. It's an increase on the score that was reported for him last year, when he was said to have scored 8 out of 10.

Actor Tom Holland is named as second on the list following behind the presenter (WireImage)He's said to be followed by 27-year-old actor Tom Holland - known for his role as Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe - in second place on the list with eight points. Whilst Prince William, 41, is said to have improved his position from last year by having landed third place in the recent ranking.
Football manager Gareth Southgate, 53 - who is behind the England national team - placed fourth on the recent poll by those surveyed. Oppenheimer star Cillian Murphy, 47, is named as taking fifth place instead. However, Cillian hails from Douglas, Cork in Ireland and therefore not British and not eligible to be named as U.K's sexiest man due to the fact he is Irish.
Luther star Idris Elba, 51, comedian Romesh Ranganathan, 46, Made in Chelsea cast member Sam Thompson, 31, and athlete Russ Cook, 27 - known as 'the Hardest Geezer' - were next in the rankings. Whilst This Morning presenter Dermot O'Leary, 50, concluded the top ten in the results of the poll.
Former rugby union player Mike Tindall, 45, and actor Ryan Reynolds, 47, placed lower on the list this year. Additionally, journalist Piers Morgan, 59, and Prince Harry, 39, were even further down the poll.
Jessica Leoni, a spokesperson at Illicitencounters.com, said: "Clarkson and his farm is a bit like Noah's ark and just like the animal's in that story, his victory in the Sexiest Man vote has come in twos. We all know about his brash persona, but the latest series of Diddly Squat has shown he can tug at heartstrings too - and clearly his famer look continues to set hearts racing.
"Just like last year's poll, we knew providing our members with a list of 50 famous names across both genders and asking them to score them on their 'sexiness' would throw up some surprises - we're not putting it past Clarkson to go for the three-peat next year!”
