Kara Tointon voted sexiest woman of Strictly Come Dancing 2010

In an incredibly tight finish, Kara Tointon has pipped last year's winner Ola Jordan in our annual 'Sexiest of Strictly' poll.  Ola was perhaps somewhat hampered by her early departure from the series this time round!  Aliona Vilani and Katya Virshilas (both still in the competition) were in third and fourth place respectively, while Kristina Rihanoff demonstrated her enduring popularity by finishing fifth in spite of an early departure from the show.  Here are the final results...

1 Kara Tointon 22%
2 Ola Jordan 21%
3 Aliona Vilani 13%
4 Katya Virshilas 12%
5 Kristina Rihanoff 11%
6 Tina O'Brien 7%
7 Flavia Cacace 6%
8 Natalie Lowe 3%
9 Pamela Stephenson 2%
10 Felicity Kendal 1%
= Patsy Kensit 1%

Featured : Ola Jordan

Currently leading the way in our Strictly Come Dancing poll is the beautiful Polish professional dancer Ola Jordan. In the current series of Strictly she is partnering TV presenter and former sportsman Chris Hollins, but she has appeared on the show since the fourth series, previously partnering former tennis player and TV presenter Andrew Castle, former Scotland rugby international Kenny Logan, and DJ Spoony. She is married to fellow Strictly professional dancer James Jordan - her maiden name was Grabowska.

In her pre-Strictly days, Ola notched up a number of more conventional achievements as a dancer, including a semi-final place in the amateur worlds.

Ola and James Jordan's official website includes a biography, news section, and most importantly a stunning photo gallery of Ola.
