London, Apr 19 : Lasses from the Tyneside region of England, popularly known as Geordie ladies have been named the nation's sexiest girls in a new poll.

Glasgow ladies were voted the Ugliest- closely followed by those from Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester.

Newcastle, the hometown of beauties like Girls Aloud's Cheryl Cole and model Donna Air, topped the nationwide poll of 3,000 blokes under 30. London ladies came second.

The poll, which was released on April 18, labelled women from Scottish city - Edinburgh -the third sexiest, followed by Bristol, Nottingham, Leeds and Oxford.

"Single men will be flocking to Newcastle now. Both Oxford and Cambridge are in the good-looking list too - it proves beauty and brains can go hand in hand," The Sun quoted John Sewell, of www.onepoll.com which conducted the survey, as saying.

"But I'm surprised to see Glasgow winning the ugliest city when gorgeous celebrities like TV's Jenni Falconer and actress Kelly Macdonald come from there," he added.
