Fern Britton has topped a poll by leading online tour operator, key2holidays (www.key2holidays.co.uk), to find out which TV presenter holidaymakers miss the most when away on their annual break. Declan Curry was the most missed male presenter, though he was still trounced by Fern, who received nearly double the votes he did. However the majority of respondents (nearly a third) were glad to completely switch off and answered that they would not miss anybody.

Results were as follows:

Most missed female presenter: Fern Britton Most missed male presenter: Declan Curray

POSITION RESPONSE PERCENTAGE OF VOTE GOLD No-one 31.7% SILVER Fern Britton 14.6% BRONZE (TIE) Declan Curry and Lorraine Kelly 9.8%

In addition the survey identified a new trend of the holiday �Heat Factor� with many holidaymakers increasingly interested in following in the holiday footsteps of the stars as snapped and spotted in weekly magazines.

Matthew Rushbrooke, general manager, key2holidays commented: �Holidays are often a chance to get away from it all entirely but many do miss their routine. We have an expert team who know each destination inside and out so can help plan your dream holiday to the tiniest detail � though we can�t promise you Fern!

He continued: �When a celebrity is pictured on holiday in a particular destination, there is always a noticeable increase in bookings and enquiries to that country. These days the great offers we have available mean that you don�t need to spend a fortune to travel where the A-list go�.
