Ah, the depths we have to sink to in the name of journalism. I found myself scouring a list of dubiously talented females the other day having been told that Location Location Location’s very own Kirstie Allsopp had polled in FHM’s 100 Sexiest Women.

Admittedly, Kirstie had managed to tack herself onto the lower portion of the list (number 91), but what an achievement considering the perma-orange z-list celebs she was up against.

Also, kudos must surely be given to the fact she beat out the likes of pop princess and international treasure Kylie Minogue (number 93) and Britain’s favourite export (sorry America) Victoria Beckham (number 98).

I myself am a fan of Kirstie’s no-nonsense style, particularly the way she can dismiss interior walls with a flick of her finely manicured hand. But does this really pass as sexy in the world of testosterone-driven lads’ magazines?

A not-so-scientific survey of some of the blokes at FAP Towers reveals that the general consensus is one of bemusement as to how Ms Allsopp’s curvaceous figure and rounded vowels had managed to work their way into the male psyche.

Really? Posh, curves, and killer heels, and they’re still not getting it?

But I did discover a partisan group of Sarah Beeny devotees, unperturbed by her eternally pregnant state or inability to dissuade those first-time developers from dry-lining over their original 18th century masonry.

And so, still giddy from the newfound joys of objectifying others, I started wondering how a list of exclusive hot property crumpet would shape up.

Where would Kirstie’s wingman Phil I’ve-a-sly-smile-and-a-twinkle-in-my-eye Spencer rank? Or Kevin rough-yet-refined McCloud?

What about Selling Houses’ Andrew Winter or A Place In The Sun’s Amanda Lamb? Or are they more b-list Cheeky Girls to Kirstie and Phil’s Girls Aloud?
