A survey of women around the world reveals that an Irish brogue is the sexiest accent on the planet.
For years, a French accent was considered to be the hottest, but in the new poll it finished 4th. Italian and Scottish were declared 2nd and Irish came in at 3rd. In the 5th spot is Australian, followed by English, Swedish and Spanish. The 9th most sensuous lilt, say gals, is Welsh. Barely making it into the top 10 is American.
"It's good news for the Irish," says a spokesman for OnePoll, which conducted the survey. "They have been in and around the top five for years now. But high profile stars like Colin Farrel bring the accent to the fore.
"The French accent is nowhere near as popular as it used to be Nicolas Sarkozy (bad boy President) single handedly changed the perception of how the world sees French men."
