The former Coronation Street actress and current Ordinary Lies star has edged out Jennifer Lawrence from the top spot to become the sexiest woman in the world. Keegan was voted runner up in 2014, and was placed fourth in 2013. This is the first time that this 27-year-old Brit beauty has taken the pole position. She first entered the list back in 2010 at number 30.
The star of the BBC One drama also has her own clothing collaboration with Lipsy, the high street clothing brand.
Congratulating the actress, FHM editor Joe Barnes said,
“Many congratulations to Michelle on her very worthy win. This year’s 100 Sexiest poll was more keenly contested than ever.”

“We had over a million votes, which was truly incredible. And for me, and the FHM team, it’s great to see a hugely talented UK actress take the top spot.”
