Amy Winehouse is the scariest celebrity in Britain, according to a new poll.

The FilmOn.com research saw the Back To Black singer named the most frightening female figure, with Michael Jackson the scariest male.

Other famous women in the top ten included Kerry Katona, Jodie Marsh and Sharon Osbourne, while Russell Brand, Pete Doherty and Ronnie Wood ranked among the men.

X Factor judges Simon Cowell and Dannii Minogue appeared further down the list, as did comedian Alan Carr and politician Peter Mandelson.

"I certainly find the prospect of meeting Amy Winehouse down a back alley a frightening one - I can imagine her shrieking and cackling over a bubbling cauldron," said FilmOn founder Alki David.
