Sian voted rear of the year - Sept 19 2007
Weathergirl Sian Lloyd proved she can leave the nation hot under the collar as she was voted Rear of the Year.

More often associated with sunny outlooks and warm fronts, the fun-loving forecaster showed younger opponents she has still got what it takes to leave admirers sizzling.

At 49, Sian - once engaged to Liberal Democrat MP Lembit Opik - is the oldest ever winner of the coveted title.

She now joins a star-studded list of Britain’s most superior posteriors from fellow Welsh lass Charlotte Church to Denise van Outen and Ulrika Jonsson.

"Not even I could have forecast the sizzling high pressure that brought me this hot award," Ms Lloyd joked.

Organiser Tony Edwards said many voters in the online poll - which was held to support the charity Beating Bowel Cancer - compared her to the hotpants-wearing duo the Cheeky Girls.

One of the pop twins, Gabriela Irimia, is now in a relationship with Lembit.

A keen skier, swimmer and walker, Sian keeps herself taut with regular charity treks.

Although just over half Sian’s age, television talent show winner Lee Mead scooped this year’s male title.

The winner of the BBC’s Any Dream Will Do competition to find a new star for the West End musical Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat said: "I’m absolutely delighted this crucial part of my anatomy is helping to raise awareness for such an important cause."

He joked: "I’m not allowed to drink for a couple of years so I’m the designated driver, but no one wants to take the car with me."
