Brighton has the most attractive people in the UK - according to those who live there.

According to a survey carried out by YouGov, 75% of Brightonians rated themselves as most attractive.

Cardiff (70%) was second on the list with Liverpudlians (68%) third.

The survey, carried out among 15 cities across the UK by YouGov CityBus, asked people to rate how attractive they thought people in their city were.

The above chart, created by Statista for the Independent, shows the results of the survey.

The city labelled the least attractive was Southampton, with only 30% of those surveyed rating their fellow citizens.

The survey also found many northerners believe they are friendlier than people in the south of England - a finding which could stoke the fires of the north-south divide.

Liverpudlians rated themselves as most friendly at 91%, with Newcastle at 89%. 45% of those surveyed in London think capital dwellers are not at all friendly.
