Irish brogue voted world's sexiest accent

'Have you got any Irish in you..?'

There's some good news this morning for our readers from the Emerald Isle: their Irish brogue has topped a poll of 5,000 women worldwide to emerge as the world's sexiest accent.

The result of the www.OnePoll.com survey demonstrated that our sweet-talking Irish cousins boast the most mellifluous tones, pipping the smooth-talking Italians into second place. The "Scottish burr" was honoured in third spot, thanks to the likes of Sean Connery, the Telegraph explains, rather than Rab C. Nesbitt.
