The survey, of more than 400 people nationwide, believed the classic "Your dad must be a thief because he stole the stars and put them in your eyes" to be the most embarrassing chat-up line, with reality TV veteran Calum Best voted the person most likely to say it.

People believed humour was the best way of chatting somebody up with over 50 per cent of those surveyed saying comedy lines work best on them, such as "Do you have any raisins? How about a date?" and "Are you Jamaican, because you're Jamaican me crazy" among the most popular.

Although the list of cheesy chat up lines was dominated by reality TV stars, footballers and singers, one of the more unexpected votes went to Countdown's Carol Vorderman, with people voting her most likely to use the line "If I were to rearranged the alphabet I would put U and I together."

Others on the list compiled by a maker of Dutch Edam cheese included Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo who was voted as most likely to say "Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?" while Big Brother's Sylvester Stallone lookalike Mario Marconi was tipped to say "I must be in heaven because I can see an angel."

Glamour model Jodie Marsh rounded off the top five with "Here's 10p - go phone your mum and tell her you won't be coming home tonight."
