The Bridget Jones actor came top in a poll of 1,500 women by Wizard Jeans to find the hottest hunk from the U.K.

Everett came in a close second after his pal, with Closer star Clive Owen in third place.

Funnyman and soon-to-be married Russell Brand was named the fourth best looking, while blond Bond Daniel Craig rounded out the top five.

Wizard Jeans rep Sally Allen says, ''I've heard girls talking about Colin Firth's brooding good looks when they are probably referring to his demeanour, grooming and image. And that's something you can work on.""
