Cat tops the Orange Parade

In a dull world, they do their best to bring a little sunshine into our lives.

Presenting Britain's orangest celebrities - the stars who would rather dye than present a pale face to their public.

A tongue-in-cheek poll of TV favourites has come up with a permatanned top ten, and in pride of place at Number One is Cat Deeley.

The CD:UK presenter's devotion to St Tropez fake tan left rivals trailing in her wake. Daytime favourite Dale Winton won second place for his glow-in-the-dark look, followed by pop star Christina Aguilera.

David Dickinson, tangerine-featured host of Bargain Hunt, will be disappointed to come in only fourth, followed by burnished football pundit Terry Venables.

Former Wish You Were Here? presenter Judith Chalmers, famed for her mahogany skin roasted on a thousand beaches, came in sixth. Jessie Wallace - Kat Slater of East-Enders - merited seventh place for sporting a tan which fashion gurus Trinny and Susannah describe as 'a beacon of orangeness'.

Jordan, who was criticised for going under a sunbed while pregnant, was in eighth, just pipping rival model Jodie Marsh. And the final spot went to Italian Nancy Dell'Olio.

The poll was carried out by - who else? - Terry's Chocolate Orange.
