Family Guy favourite Lois Griffin has been named the sexiest mum on TV according to a new poll of British men released today.

With 18% of the votes the cartoon hottie pipped Friends favourite Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston) and Modern Family’s Latina beauty Gloria Delgado-Pritchett (Sofia Vergara) to the post, to take the crown as the tastiest TV mum.

The poll, commissioned to mark the DVD release of hit TV show Modern Family, revealed the top 10 TV mums, as voted for by the discerning British public.

Completing the top five were prehistoric cartoon favourite Betty Rubble from The Flintstones and Will’s mum from the Inbetweeners (Belinda Stewart-Wilson).

Gabrielle Solis (Eva Longoria-Parker) beat her fellow desperate housewives to take sixth place in the poll, whilst Lost’s Claire Littleton (Emilie de Ravin) proved the show was gone but not forgotten by taking seventh place.

Coming in at number eight was the second and last Brit to make the cut, feisty Eastender Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons). The youngest Mitchell sister narrowly beat Heroes favourite Niki Sanders (Ali Larter) and trailer-park hottie Joy Turner (Jaime Pressly) from My Name is Earl, who took 9th and 10th place respectively.
