Married women fantasise more about George Clooney than any other man on the planet, it emerged today.
The Oceans Eleven star, 51, beat fellow Oceans actor Brad Pitt to top the list, with Pirates of the Caribbean’s Johnny Depp coming third.
James Bond star Daniel Craig shot into fourth, while David Beckham rounded off the top five housewife’s favourites.
As many as one in four married women dream about sex with a celeb while they are busy with their housework, the study found.
The research was commissioned by Celebalike – an app that shows you which celebrity your face resembles most.
A spokesman said: ”George Clooney’s appeal among women is pretty well documented but the results show that even as someone over fifty, he still earns the adulation of many a married woman.
”And of course Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt have long held the admiration of many women, while David Beckham’s looks are always going to get attention but his image as a family man makes him a favourite for many.
Oscar-winner Colin Firth has the regal touch to have many swooning, while Ewan McGregor and Orlando Bloom follow close.
X-men star Hugh Jackman claws his way in at ninth, while Gary Barlow clearly has the X-factor for many of the country’s women and rounds off the top ten.
Ryan Gosling has the power to put many women in a flutter, while Michael Buble also seems to be hitting the right note.
And many a British housewife is eager to share an out of this world experience with former Dr Who star David Tennant who makes an appearance inside the top 20 biggest crushes for housewives.
The inimitable Robbie Williams finds himself at 16, while Twilight vampire Robert Pattinson is the youngest man to get the blood rushing for married women.
And X-factor host Dermot O’Leary proves a favourite among Britain’s betrothed – closing the top 20 most wanted men.
It also emerged one in seven married women would go as far as to say they have a particular celebrity they obsess over and regularly daydream about.
While a cheeky one in eight say they would be prepared to leave their husband should an opportunity with their favourite celebrity ever crop up.
In fact, one in ten women admitted their partner had warned them that their infatuation with a particular celebrity was getting too much.
On average, the women studied deemed 24 as the age they felt it was ok for a married woman to date without feeling the age was a barrier.
And one in four women were happy to be deemed ‘cougars’ – reasoning that dating an 18 year old was perfectly acceptable.
While a sixth of women confessed there are many celebrities that they’d much rather ‘be a mum to’ rather than fancy – Daniel Radcliffe, Harry Styles and Justin Bieber were most likely to inspire maternal feelings.
The Celebalike.net spokesman added: “It’s interesting to see that so many women feel dating a younger man is acceptable and clearly age 24 is about right.
“It’s surprising to see that so many married women readily admit to having a celebrity obsession but it’s important that the daydreams don’t impose upon the marriage.”
