Decker thanks Photoshop for 'Sexy' award

Brooklyn Decker has quipped that she has Photoshop to thank after being named the 'Sexiest Woman Alive'.

The fashion model and actress received the accolade from the readers of Esquire and told Parade that she was not sure how to respond.

Decker said: "It's kinda funny. I'm obviously very flattered because that means a lot of my supporters went out and voted for me.

"How do you say thanks for that? Thanks mum and dad! Thanks Photoshop! I don't know, it's one of those tricky things, but I do feel really grateful."

Of her work as a model, she added: "My job requires me to be in a bikini and on the beach, but there's always days where I think, 'I do not want to be in a bikini'.

"But at the end of the day, we're all women and we all have beautiful bodies and it's just about feeling that way on the beach. Although it can be hard some days, you just have to suck it up and deal!"
