Denise Van Outen has the best celebrity body for a bikini, according to a survey.
Grazia magazine asked people for their favourite from a selection of photos, but covered up the stars' identities.

Van Outen said curves were the secret to her success: "I used to be a size zero but I looked awful. Being a normal size is fine."
Jane Bruton, Grazia's editor, agreed: "It goes to show that what women really aspire to is a normal-looking figure like Denise's."

1. Denise Van Outen
2. Penelope Cruz
