It’s official – golden globe winner Emma Stone has been crowned Britain’s best loved redhead, according to a new survey of Brits.
In celebration of Kiss a Ginger Day today (12th January) new research can reveal the UK’s favourite red headed celebrities, with American actor Stone, who scooped the best actress gong for Poor Things at the Golden Globes last weekend, taking the number one spot with a whopping 29 percent of the vote.
She was closely followed by fellow actor Nicole Kidman (21 percent) and Australian star Isla Fisher (18 percent).
UK born Stacy Dooley (17 percent) was also chosen by the 2,000 Britons polled as one of their favourite redheaded celebs, as well as actor Ewan McGregor (15 percent) and Hollywood actress Lindsay Lohan (14 percent).
Also, to make the list of Britain’s favourite celebrity redheads were Doctor Who star Karen Gillan (14 percent), popstar Ed Sheeran (13 percent), actress Amy Adams (13 percent) and spice girl Geri Horner (12 percent).
Kiss A Ginger Day
Other notable homegrown talent who were chosen as the sexiest gingers were Tom Hiddleston (12%), Girls Aloud alumnae Nicola Roberts (12%), Damien Lewis (10 %) and singer Florence Welch (5%), also known by her stage name, Florence, and the Machine.
And it’s no surprise that three in ten Brits (29%) confess that they LOVE redheads, with over a third (36%) not afraid to admit that they would lock lips with a fiery redhead if they fancied them.
Harriet Scott, Founder of media company GingerComms, which commissioned the research said: “We wanted to take a look at which celebrity redheads are among the nation’s favourite, and were pleased to see plenty of Brits, including Ewan McGregor, Ed Sheeran, Geri Horner and Stacy Dooley were all included”.
And with 26 percent admitting that they find red hair to be attractive and sexy, almost a quarter (24 percent) of the Brits polled insist that fiery shades of ginger are becoming more fashionable.
Meanwhile one in ten even wish they were a redhead themselves.
