Sean Connery & Kylie Voted UK's Most Wanted DIY Slaves

April 5, 2004

It's official, 'Bond, James Bond' are the words most women want to hear in the bedroom!

But, before men rush out to bulk-but tuxedos, asking for things to be 'shaken, not stirred', the findings have come from a recent survey by B&Q, the UK's leading home improvement retailer, which has revealed that Sean Connery is the most desired male DIY 'slave' to complete jobs around the home - especially redecorating the bedroom!

As if that's not enough, I should be so lucky is the cry from men across the UK who, according to the survey, would most like to see Kylie Minogue spinning around in their bedroom!

Kylie and Sean might have come up trumps with the budding DIY-brigade, but they were closely pursued by the following celebrities:

                      Female DIY 'Slave'   Male DIY 'Slave'
    1.                Kylie Minogue           Sean Connery
    2.                Halle Berry               Brad Pitt
    3.                Kelly Brook               George Clooney
    4.                Britney Spears          Johnny Wilkinson
    5.                Jennifer Lopez          Pierce Brosnan
    6.                Julia Roberts            Johnny Depp
    7.                Cameron Diaz           Tom Cruise
    8.                Nicole Kidman           David Beckham
    9.                Holly Valance            Enrique Inglesias
    10.               Rachel Stevens        Peter Andre

 

Dr Aric Sigman, psychologist comments: "Throughout his long career, Sean Connery has exuded machismo, sex appeal, ruggedness, charm, capability and most of all authority...in other words a desirable quality for every one's tastes. While other celebrities may have one or two of these qualities none has all of them. Mr. Connery has an all purpose appeal, whether a safe pair of hands as a DIY slave or animal appeal as a sex slave."

He continues: "Although sexy female pop singers can sing and dance, their attractiveness usually comes with a self-obsessed snideness. This is the opposite of what Ms Minogue conveys. She always seems like a neighbour - the girl next door who seems slightly surprised at being famous and greatly appreciative for the attention and adulation this brings. Most of all she appears terribly accommodating - willing to please without the attendant attitude problem suffered by her precious rivals."

Although getting your favourite celebrity to do some work in the bedroom was the ultimate job for all DIY slaves, it seem that men would also like to assign Nicole Kidman the task of unblocking a sink, ask Rachel Stevens to plumb a pipe, Jennifer Lopez to tile a bathroom and Holly Valance to put up a shelf or two.

Pierce Brosnan and Enrique Inglesias shared top position for a spot of bathroom tiling, while a number of women would like to see Jude Law brush up on his paintwork and lay some flooring. Surprisingly, watching David Beckham change a light bulb was top of many women's DIY celebrity-slave agenda!
