Fox – who last year came 65th in the annual poll – beat a host of beauties, including Jessica Alba, Angelina Jolie and Heroes actress Hayden Panettiere to take the top spot.

Alba – who was last year’s winner – came second, despite being pregnant with her first child, while British glamour model Keeley Hazell finished in third position.

The top five was rounded off by former 24 star Elisha Cuthbert and Panettiere.

Other stars to feature in the list include Keira Knightly – who came first in the 2006 poll – who finished 10th, Umbrella singer Rihanna who came in at number 11 and Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria in 14th.
