We did it, you guys. We finally came first in something!

Surprisingly a UK-wide survey by Asda has announced that 17% of those surveyed (the majority) chose our very own Northern Ireland accent as the sexiest around. Thanks to Jamie Dornan, Liam Neeson and a variety of other local celebrities we’re top of the polls for sex appeal, so you can stop cringing and start celebrating when you see a fellow Norn Iron-er on TV.

However, the Scottish came a close second (15% of votes), with the likes of Ewan McGregor, David Tennant and Gerard Butler’s dulcet tones, although we think this may have less to do with their accents and more to do with their stunning good looks.

Here are the full results:

Hi, I'm Laura. I'm 30 years old and have a degree in Journalism with Photo-Imaging at the University of Ulster. I have an undying love for Belfast and all that it has to offer, an undying love for sleeping, Tegan and Sara, trashy tv shows, foreign snack-foods and being irresponsible with money. I also quite like origami, reading, jazz, hip-hop, dubstep, anything acoustic and Food Network TV. I've written for The Big List, Culture NI, Chatterbox and The Echo, as well as writing for BBC Across the Line.
