Jessica Rabbit named 'sexiest cartoon'

Jessica Rabbit has been named the sexiest cartoon character of all time.

The singer, who first appeared in 1988's Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, nabbed 37% of the vote to beat competition from Betty Boop (21%) and the Cadbury Dairy Milk Caramel Bunny (10%) in the poll carried out by Cadbury.

"The top three are all similar in that they share the most alluring virtues," said marketing director Lee Rolston.

Around 1,000 people were surveyed to mark the return of the Cadbury Bunny to adverts this Easter.

"What we find most impressive is that she is the only British character on the list," said Rolston. "In this way, she very much echoes Cadbury Dairy Milk's British roots."

Other fictional characters to make the list included Scooby Doo's Daphne Blake, Wilma Flintstone, Cinderella and Snow White.
