Joss Stone deemed sexy

British singing sensation Joss Stone looks likely to be voted one of the world's sexiest women.

Stars such as singer Rachel Stevens, Hollywood actresses Halle Berry and Angelina Jolie are set to feature in the top spots of the annual FHM 100 sexiest women in the world list.

But Stone, who last year didn't make it into the top 100, is leaving the likes of pop princess Kylie Minogue, Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher, a former winner, and glamour girl Jordan in her wake.

Last year's winner, Britney Spears, is one of the front runners with Paris Hilton and Carmen Electra.

FHM editor Ross Brown said: "Joss is hotly tipped to feature in the final top 20 of the list and is currently as popular as Charlotte Church."
