A new poll by British Airways has revealed that Kylie Minogue is the person most men would like to sit next to on a flight. Missing pop star Rachel Stevens (where has she gone, incidentally?) came second on the list, whilst Beyonce made it into fifth place.
Music stars were less popular with the ladies, who cited George Clooney as their top flight companion (see that play on words? God, I'm clever), although Robbie Williams made it to number two. Actually, Will Smith was at four, and I suppose he is a music star, of a sort.
A BA spokeswoman said: "Everyone is intrigued about who will turn up in the next seat and Kylie would obviously be a dream companion for most men. I think we all sit there and look at the passengers joining the flight and hope we get someone exciting as a neighbour."
Hmm. I have to admit I tend to be 'fearful', rather than 'intrigued'. And I would rather have a 'quiet' neighbour who won't talk me to death, rather than an 'exciting' one. Hmm, perhaps that's just me. I am, after all, legendarily bitter and twisted.
