Cheryl named world’s sexiest woman

CHERYL Cole topped another beauty poll yesterday when she was named FHM’s World’s Sexiest Woman 2009.

The Girls Aloud and X Factor star, who said recently she hates looking thin and gets nicknamed “flatty batty”, knocked last year’s winner, American actress/model Megan Fox, down to second place.

Last year, American pop star Britney Spears languished at number 31, but following an online campaign by fans, she claimed fourth place.
