Michelle Keegan voted 'hottest woman on TV'

Michelle Keegan has been voted the hottest woman on TV by the readers of FHM magazine.

The 26-year-old Coronation Street babe - who has won Sexiest Female at the National Soap Awards for the last five years - stormed to the No 1 spot with 22 per cent of the vote.

Michelle appears in a coy pose on the cover of the lads mag wearing a bobble hat and a skimpy swimming costume showing off her cleavage.

She said: "I do get asked if I have implants. My chest is 100 per cent real."

Fellow soap star Jorgie Porter from Hollyoaks was placed second and Katrina Bowden - who plays a ditzy PA in US comedy 30 Rock - came third.
