The research, conducted as part of the Self-Made Celebs study, revealed that Ramsay has seen the highest influx of positive tweets that also include the word ‘sexy’ over the last year - beating out other male presenters to the top spot of sexiest TV personality.
The Twitter sentiment analysis was conducted on Tweets mentioning any male/female TV host over the last year, and assigns a positivity and negativity score to each.
Chef Ramsay has seen the highest influx of positive tweets that include the descriptor ‘sexy’ over the last year, followed by other male hosts Richard Madeley, Jonathan Ross and - surprisingly - David Attenborough.
Ramsay - host of Hell’s Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares - also beat out other fan favourites, including Gregg Wallace, Piers Morgan, Jeremy Vine, Dan Walker and even Martin Kemp.
At the other end of the scale, it’s Adrian Chiles, Noel Edmonds, Alexander Armstrong, Ant McPartlin and Bear Grylls that sit at the bottom of the ranking, according to fans.

“It's also encouraging to see that the majority of interactions around the male stars on Twitter are positive and complimentary - particularly given the volatile nature of online forums.”
