Bond would be handy round house, says survey

By StudentMediaWire • Jul 18th, 2008 • Category: Lifestyle, Quirky!

Sean Connery is the most desired male DIY ‘slave’ to complete jobs around the home, according to a new survey.

Meanwhile Kylie Minogue is the woman most men would like to engage in domestic duties, says the research from DIY store B&Q.

Kylie and Sean were the public’s favourites, 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

Psychologist Dr Aric Sigman said: “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.

“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 most wanted to get their slaves into bed, it seem that men would also like to: assign Nicole Kidman the task of unblocking a sink; ask Rachel Stevens to plumb a pipe; get 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.

Watching David Beckham change a light bulb was top of many women’s DIY celebrity-slave agenda.
