BUT GORDON BROWN AND JORDAN GET THE COLD SHOULDER

Myleene is top of the Klass in Bio-Strath health challenge survey

YUMMY mummy Myleene Klass is the person most Brits would choose to nurse them back to full health from a bout of the common cold.

The TV star, musician and celebrity mum has all the qualities needed to make the perfect ‘home nurse’ according to the new study by Bio-Strath Elixir, which asked 2,040 people across the nation which famous face they’d like to nurse them back to good health.

Myleene polled an astonishing 48% of the vote – beating comedians Stephen Fry and Peter Kay, who both won equal second place with 14% of the vote each.

Coming in fourth was Radio 1’s laddish breakfast show host Chris Moyles, who managed a highly respectable 10% of all votes cast.

Moyles beat the rest of the Top 10 which included (mostly TV) stars like Fern Britton, Martine McCutcheon, Lorraine Kelly, Lauren Laverne, Fiona Bruce and Alan Carr.

And the celebrity we think would be most unsuitable to dish out cold remedies and hot toddies?

No surprise that the prize for worst celebrity ‘nurse’ is equally split between Prime Minister Gordon Brown and glamour model Jordan, AKA newly married Katie Price.

The survey comes on the back of a unique social media experiment which aims to help boost immunity and reduce the number of colds and flu’s people catch after the worst winter in more than 40 years almost doubled the number of work days lost to illness in the UK.

Apart from the massive disruption to the country’s transport infrastructure the extended cold snap also made it doubly difficult for employers after record numbers of workers reported in ill with colds and cold related sickness.

Herbal Yeast Elixir, Bio-Strath claims that it’s highly effective in boosting immune systems to help prevent colds and other ailments as well as helping fight off illnesses quicker.

The company is looking for 60 volunteers of mixed age, sex and race who regularly catch colds or other illnesses, to record their battle with the sniffles in an open blog in what has been described as the first public trial of its kind in the UK.

Bio-Strath spokesman Mellanie Tymm, said: “Myleene came out head and shoulders above all other celebrities in the survey. It must be down to the fact that she’s clearly a great mum and manages to multitask, juggling being a mum with a hectic work schedule and still managing to hold it altogether.

“The survey pinpointed the fact that she was very ‘mumsy’ as one of the main reasons why we’d want her to nurse the nation back to health. Clearly she’s a hit with the men but, according to the vote, she’s equally as popular with women.

“Unfortunately, Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Katie Price didn’t fair quite as well – they were picked as the joint least favourites because, according to the public they come over as ‘hard and uncaring”.
