FHM readers have responded and have chosen Cheryl Cole as the Sexiest Woman out of 100 chosen.  She is the first British woman to top FHM’s annual poll in the last 3 years. 

Britney Spears is 4th whereas in 2008 she was number 31.   Cheryl Cole is current in the studio working on a solo album with the songwriter’s behind such names as Pink, Whitney Houston and Destiny’s Child.

The last two years have been something of a dream for Cheryl what with being named  Britain’s Best Dressed Woman by Tatler, winning a Brit Award, gracing the covers of FHM and Vogue, she climbed Kilimanjaro for Comic Relief and took home the title of Heat’s ‘most fanciable female’.
