London, Feb 17 (ANI): India has landed the eight spot in a new list of 20 best looking nations, which concluded that Americans are the most attractive looking people in the world.

Sexy Swedes helped the nation into sixth spot, and England made it into seventh place in the poll.

India was eighth, France ninth, and Canada finished off the top 10.

A spokeswoman for www.OnePoll.com, which carried out the UK study, said: ‘America has got a lot on offer and boasts some of the sexiest people on the planet.

‘The likes of Jessica Alba, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt all help America’s image as a hot bed of good looking people.

‘But with a population of more than 300 million, they do have an unfair advantage.”

She added: ‘England’s talent only got them into seventh place and despite Gerard Butler waving the flag for Scotland, they only just beat the Germans.

‘But in fairness, when you think of good looking countries, Sweden, Italy, France and Brazil talent all spring to mind before us lazy, pale Brits.

‘If you’re looking for some fun in the sun, you now know where to head on holiday.’
