Ian Paisley is currently ranked at number one when it comes to Northern Ireland's sexiest MPs, according to a new website causing a stir at Westminster.

Visitors to sexymp.co.uk - the brainchild of Francis Boulle from reality TV series Made in Chelsea - are shown photos of two MPs and asked to choose who they would rather sleep with.

The results are then used to compile a list of the most fanciable politicians to grace the House of Commons.

While Mr Paisley is leading the way for local MPs, the DUP man is still only coming in at number 148 in the rankings - just 12 places in front of Lady Sylvia Hermon.

The rest of the Northern Ireland contingent don't fare so well though - you have to go all the way to number 426 (past such veterans of the political scene as Menzies Campell and Ken Clarke) to find another local, Mr Paisley's party colleague Gregory Campbell.

The overall number one spot is currently held by Labour's Luciana Berger, while the most attractive man in Westminster is apparently Labour's Tristram Hunt - although he is only at number 18 overall.

Most fanciable Cabinet minister at the minute is Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt, followed by Northern Ireland Secretary Owen Paterson.

In the battle of the leaders, victory goes to Labour with Ed Miliband in 90th place - well ahead of Nick Clegg at 167 and David Cameron trailing at 181.

But piping them all is Ed's brother David, currently flying high at number 40 in the rankings.

In an online message, Mr Boulle said the website was a "fun and memorable tool" to help the public get to know their elected representatives.

"I thought it would be an interesting opportunity to hold the first ever parliamentary beauty contest and find out once and for all which MPs and parties have the most sex appeal," he added.

"Although I fully expect this to offend some people, this was never my intention and I hope you will see the funny side."

Rankings are subject to change.

Fair play to Jim Shannon. Just read his response to the news of his last placing on this list. He couldve said how inappropriate it was or complained but he didn't. Respect to you sir. You're right, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks of you if you make your wife happy. But congrats for not being a grump about something which is just a bit of fun amongst bad news stories everywhere else.
