Jeremy Clarkson has the best job in the world, a new survey has found.

The Top Gear presenter's post was the envy of one in three respondents of the Shell and Auto Express poll.

TV chef Nigella Lawson's job was the next most coveted, followed by adventurer Bear Grylls in third.

Nearly three quarters of the 1,621 people surveyed said that they are not in their dream job, with writing or working for a magazine dominating the collective career wishlist.
