Jodie Comer has officially been named the ‘most beautiful woman in the world’, according to an ancient scientific theory.
Not only does the classic phrase claiming that beauty is in the eye on the beholder render it tricky to determine who is objectively the most beautiful human, but now, in an age where the amount of followers someone has on social media, and the hundreds of adoring comments under photos, could have you thinking it’s virtually anyone, who is taking the title?
Well, according to what is an ancient – and rather savage – scientific theory, actress Jodie Comer has come out on top.
And you can’t argue with science.
The 29-year-old Liverpool-born actress is the star of the stage and screen, and has won multiple awards throughout her career – most notably for her role as Villanelle in Killing Eve – and now, Comer can add the title of ‘most beautiful woman in the world’ to her list of achievements.

It’s all based on The Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi, which was calculated through the undertaking of somewhat questionable and subjective research, before being “pioneered by ancient Greeks”, and then eventually employed by a Harley Street surgeon.
The Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi apparently measures physical perfection, and when analysing people, it takes into account someone’s eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, chin, jaw and facial shape to give them a percentage rating.

The mathematical equation – which was called the extreme and mean ratio by ancient Greek mathematician, Euclid – is also used in architecture and art too.
The theory therefore gave Jodie Comer a rating of 94.52%, making her top the list.

Zendaya, Bella Hadid, and Beyonce are some of the other names to feature in the top 10 list.

Dr Julian De Silva – the professional behind the top 10 list, who runs the Centre For Advanced Facial Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery in London – said Jodie Comer was “the clear winner” when all elements of the face were measured for physical perfection.
He explained: “She had the highest overall reading for the positioning of her nose and lips, with a score of 98.7%, which is only 1.3% away from being the perfect shape.
“Jodie also had the highest score for her nose width and length and she was near the top for the shape of her lips and the position of her eyes, and her chin is beautifully shaped and her overall face shape is really strong.
“The only element she was marked down for was her eyebrows, which achieved an average score of 88%.”

We’re in peak office Christmas party season right about now.
With just under two weeks to go until the big day itself is here, many businesses across the UK are treating their staff to night out to celebrate both the festive season and all of the hard work they have been putting in throughout the year… and as you can expect, these are usually quite eventful gatherings, shall we say.
But now, a survey by has shed light on just how ‘eventful’ they actually are, as a new survey has revealed that, apparently, one in ten Brits face some sort of disciplinary action or dismissal due to their behaviour at Christmas parties.
The study was conducted by After Drink, and included more than 2,000 participants.
During the research, it was highlighted that 89% of employees admitted to drinking alcohol at these events, Lad Bible reports – with 65% of these confessing that they drank “excessively”.

There are a multitude of incidents which could lead to disciplinary action in the workplace nowadays, but according to the survey, some of the common reasons following festive celebrations with colleagues included inappropriate comments (23%) and even getting into fights (21%).
16% of these incidents were because of drug use during the event, while inappropriate interactions with colleagues accounted for 14%.
Some of the legal reasons you can be fired from your place of work after a Christmas party include gross misconduct, drunken behaviour, and fighting of any kind.
Despite all these risks, however, Christmas parties still remain as popular as always, and a whopping 79% of respondents said they are planning to attend theirs this year.
Clearly, the moral of the story here is , enjoy yourself… but just not too much.

Half of Mancs don’t know how to cook Christmas dinner, new survey reveals
Emily Sergeant
Christmas dinner is one of the key parts of any festive celebration.
No matter whether you choose to tuck into a traditional roast with all the trimmings and lashings of gravy, or you prefer to go for something a little different like a curry or a Chinese instead, your Christmas dinner is a chance to gather round with your loved ones and enjoy one of the heartiest meals you’ll likely have all year.
However, some shocking new figures have revealed that half of Manchester residents have no clue how to even cook a Christmas dinner.
Through a major study by the UK’s leading electrical retailer, AO.com, it was revealed that the majority of our city’s residents are “losing confidence” in preparing even the simplest of British dishes – with a traditional roast or Christmas dinner being one of them.

As part of its new campaign to get Brits back into the kitchen, AO found that just 57% of respondents reckon they would be able to make a roast dinner, 52% could whip up a classic shepherd’s pie, 58% could cook bangers and mash, merely 61% could prepare a full English breakfast, and again, only 57% could tackle fish and chips.
Classic desserts are clearly a struggle for us Mancs too, according to the survey, as only 19% of respondents said they’d feel confident cooking a Christmas pudding.
The survey also found that nationwide, it was Gen Z – those between the age of 16 and 27 – that are the least confident in their ability to cook great British classics, while on the other end of the spectrum, Baby Boomers are the most capable, proving that culinary confidence increases with age.

Commenting on the results, Jay Lockton, oven expert at AO.com, said: “Kitchens should be a place of creativity and joy, but our data shows that a lot of people in Manchester are losing confidence in preparing even the simplest of British dishes.
“Based on our findings, many younger people may be opting for convenience foods or takeaways due to their busy schedules and the perception that cooking from scratch is time-consuming or difficult.
