Chanelle Hayes has topped a list of the 10 least talented people in Britain.

Calum Best, Peaches Geldof and Kerry Katona also joined her on the list, voted for by the public.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown was number 10 on the "zero talent" list, while Heather Mills and Victoria Beckham also appeared on the list.

The survey of more than 1,000 UK adults saw author JK Rowling and chef Gordon Ramsay named among the best of British talent, alongside Lewis Hamilton and Leona Lewis.

Four in five people said they refuse to buy newspapers or magazines with talentless celebrities on the front cover. The same number turn off their televisions when a "zelebrity" (talentless fame-hungry person) appears on screen.

Almost half are sick of the sight of reality TV contestants, while one in five are fed up of those who sell kiss and tell stories on famous people.

The Wags, celebrity offspring, and those who work the party circuit while wearing very little, were also voted past their sell-by date.

Heat news editor, Hannah Fernando said: "Another reality format is surfacing and we are embracing people who have a real talent that they wouldn't necessarily have the opportunity to showcase."

The Domino's Pizza Talent poll also found that more than two in five Britons consider themselves talented.

Domino's Pizza sponsors ITV1's Britain's Got Talent.

Up: MSN Review

So, it’s about an old man flying away on an adventure by attaching a huge bunch of helium balloons to his house. Even for the talented craftspeople at Pixar, who successfully brought us a near-silent film about robots last year, this seems far-fetched. We needn’t have worried though. Up is the best Pixar film since Toy Story.

Wimbledon Aces

With Wimbledon 2009 in full swing, err… serve, the top tennis players from around the world are focused entirely on their game. As they run up and down the court screaming with exertion, the rest of us non-pros can't help but judge them on something other than their passing shots; that's right, how good looking they are.
