Michelle Keegan has been voted FHM’s Sexiest Woman In The World 2015. The former Coronation Street actress, who is set to marry Mark Wright any day now, beat the likes of Kendall Jenner and Jennifer Lawrence to the top spot.
It’s the first time the star, 27, has been awarded the accolade, having ranked second in 2014 and fourth in 2013.
Model and reality star Kendall Jenner makes her top ten debut in second place, up 29 places on last year, while last year’s winner Jennifer Lawrence drops two places to third.
Michelle, who first entered the list in 2010 at number 30 has just seen the last episode of her latest series, BBC One drama, Ordinary Lies air. She also has her own clothing collaboration with high street clothing brand, Lipsy.
FHM editor Joe Barnes said: ‘Many congratulations to Michelle on her very worthy win. This year’s 100 Sexiest poll was more keenly contested than ever.. ‘We had over a million votes, which was truly incredible. And for me, and the FHM team, it’s great to see a hugely talented UK actress take the top spot.’
Mark’s former flame, former TOWIE favourite Lucy Mecklenburgh is a non-mover at number eight and Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke follows behind at nine. Another of Mark’s former flames, Sam Faiers, makes her debut at 52.

Rounding off the top ten is none other than Kelly Brook, who took the top honours in 2005. Brook is now officially the most featured Brit in the top 100 with 18 entries. It’s a full house for the Kardashian/Jenner family.

Baking Bombshell Mary Berry celebrates her 80th year by making a somewhat surprising appearance at number 73. The Great British Bake Off star is just one place behind Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie.
