An onscreen romp between Rosie O’Donnell and Julian McMahon in US drama Nip/Tuck has topped a Maxim poll to find the 'Worst Love Scene Of All Time'.

The pair got intimate when the chat show host played a patient of plastic surgeon Dr Christopher Troy (McMahon) in the episode.

The magazine's editors said: “We don’t know what kind of bet McMahon lost, but having to hump O’Donnell, who can’t even shut up… is a fate worse than The Fantastic Four."

Erotic 1996 film Crash finished in second place for a love-making scene between James Spader and Rosanna Arquette, followed by Ryan Reynolds and Cynthia Fancher getting it on in 2002's National Lampoon’s Van Wilder.

Despite being off-screen lovers at the time, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez failed to impress in their love scene in Gigli, finishing fourth in the poll.

The top eight was rounded out by Sharon Stone and Joe Pesci (Casino), Woody Harrelson and Lin Shaye (Kingpin) and Jack Nicholson and Billie Gibson (The Shining).
