SHE has long been a favourite with Irish men, but model Georgia Salpa's popularity is officially spreading beyond our borders.

The Dublin beauty has been named fifth on a list of the world's sexiest women. 'X-Factor' judge Tulisa Contostavlos took top place on the annual list for UK magazine FHM.

The 26-year-old former top Irish model was snapped by papparazzi as she arrived in a figure hugging dresses that was adorned with aubergiene print. Her famous assets were very visible spilling out of the dress as she appeared alone on the red carpet. She has been single since splitting with love cad Calum Best last year.

Two-time winner Cheryl Cole takes second place, followed by pop star Rihanna and glamour model Rosie Jones.

US pop star and Russell Brand's ex-wife Katy Perry took sixth place.

Actress Megan Fox, glamour model Keeley Hazell, 'Friends With Benefits' star Mila Kunis and 'Inbetweeners' actress Emily Atack complete the top 10.

Tulisa said the award was "a lovely confidence boost". The X Factor judge has had a rocky year after she had to go to court to try to block a sex tape she was involved in emerging on the internet.

"This is an award that will stay on the mantlepiece probably for the rest of my life," she said.
