Anna Kournikova has been voted the celebrity that most people would like to see wash their car in a new survey published by Motorpoint, the UK’s leading car supermarket.

The tennis ace was singled out as the ‘Car Wash Belle’ in a nationwide poll of female celebrities that men would most like to see on their driveway with a chamois and a smile cleaning their vehicle. She was followed closely by singer Cristina Aguilera (23%), who ironically released a single ‘Car Wash’ a few years ago, and actress Scarlet Johansson (16%).

In the same study, Johnny Depp, star of ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ was named ‘Car Wash Hunk’ by female voters, taking 25% of the vote - piping fellow actors George Clooney (22%) and Ewan McGregor (12%) to the top spot. Welsh rugby star Gavin Henson looks to have dropped the sponge getting just 1%.

Commenting on the findings, John Hood, General Manager at Motorpoint Derby explains: “Washing your car is often thought of as just a routine part of vehicle maintenance. However, our study shows that drivers wouldn’t pass on a helping hand from a celebrity. When it comes to my own car, I would have to go for our very own ‘British Belle’ Kelly Brook.”
