Cuddly mums are most envied celebs for women!

British women have voted the cuddly This Morning host, Fern Britton, as their most envied celebrity.

Gone are the days when women fancied svelte celebrity moms like Victoria Beckham and Madonna, as British women have voted the cuddly This Morning host Fern Britton, as their most envied celebrity.

The mother of four, whose celebrity chef husband Phil Vickery recently hit out at critics of her size 18 figure, came first in a poll which asked which celebrity people would most like to switch lives with.

British men on the other hand chose Ashes hero and pace bowler Andrew Flintoff as the star they would most like to be. Second places went to X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne and actor Tom Cruise, whose enviable status has not been harmed by a spate of bizarre outbursts last year.

Respondents were also asked which celebrity's physique they would most like to possess and, while women might not particularly admire waif-thin Victoria, her husband David and heartthrob Brad Pitt have the best bodies according to the men.

The poll, commissioned by Boots found that while over 80 per cent of Britons pledge they will improve some aspect of their life at the turn of the year, 70 per cent of these resolutions are abandoned on January 1.
