Sir Sean Connery has the sexiest male voice in showbusiness, according to a poll today.

Singer Robbie Williams came second in the survey, after the former Bond star, followed by Welsh crooner Tom Jones.

Broadcaster Mariella Frostrup is top of the women?s list, with actress Joanna Lumley in second place.

Radio 1 breakfast DJ Chris Moyles is fourth in the men?s survey, while England footballer David Beckham and TV chat show host Jonathan Ross, who are not normally known for their sexy voices, also made it into the top six.

More than 1,000 people voted in the poll for Yahoo! Messenger.

Spokesman Darren Cairns said the results were a vote for the more mature voice.

He said: "It seems it's not what you say, it's the way you say it, and according to these results the more mature often say it considerably better.

"Sean Connery, the sexiest voice in UK showbiz, still has a licence to thrill with his voice."

1. Sir Sean Connery

2. Robbie Williams

3. Tom Jones

4. Chris Moyles

5. David Beckham

6. Jonathan Ross

My husband always laughs about how Sean Connery can play anything -- and have a Scottish accent. A Russian submarine captain -- with a Scottish accent. An Egyptian -- with a Scottish accent. Next he'll be Chinese or something -- with a Scottish accent.

If you're ever compiling a list of the worst singing voices in Christendom, make sure I'm # 1. Because I am.
