Brown-eyed people, like actor Johnny Depp, were also thought to be more affectionate and kind.

The survey also found that 18 per cent of people don't know what colour eyes their partner has!

That's despite the fact that 70 per cent of the population says that eyes are the most attractive feature of the opposite sex.

One in five people say they would wear coloured contact lenses like FreshLook One-Day Colour to create a new look, with the most popular occasion being for a night out clubbing.
