Men’s magazine FHM unveiled its annual 100 Sexiest Women In The World poll .For while Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was voted the World’s Sexiest Woman for the first time ever – knocking Cheryl Cole from the title she’s held for the past two years – she was otherwise indisposed and unable to collect her title at the London do.
In fact, it looked like not one name from even the Top 30 list of lad’s mag lovelies, as voted for by their readers, had turned up at the bash, held at the One Marylebone club. Also in attendance was FHM’s latest pin-up, The Only Way Is Essex star Amy Childs, who yesterday spoke of her delight of stripping to her scanties for her debut in the pages of the monthly men’s glossy.
The guest list last night was also graced by John Terry’s former lover Vanessa Perroncel, Strictly star and former boxer Joe Calzaghe and X Factor loser Shanye Ward.
Also there was Daybreak weather girl Lucy Verasamy, former Blue Peter presenter Zoe Salmon, models Olivia Inge and Laura Budd and Emmerdale star Adele Silva.
In the poll which was unveiled last night, Huntington-Whiteley was the winner of the poll of the magazine’s readers, winning the coveted Sexiest Woman in the World crown, just days after landing a similar title from Maxim magazine.
