Duchess Catherine has been voted the most naturally beautiful woman in Britain.

The royal - who was known as Kate Middleton before marrying Prince William in April 2011 - topped the list of striking celebrities with 16 per cent of the vote, even beating her younger sister Pippa Middleton, who came 10th.

TV beauty Holly Willoughby was second with Keira Knightley, Kelly Brook and Olympic heroine Jessica Ennis rounding out the top five in the poll commissioned by St. Ives.

Emma Watson, Myleene Klass, Kate Winslet, Cheryl Cole and Pippa comprised the latter half of the top 10.

Leah Doherty, Brand Manager for St. Ives said: 'Celebrities without make-up is almost an alien concept in celeb land. However, recently we have noticed a whole host of international celebrities with superstar songstresses like Lady Gaga and Rihanna going au natural.

'We hope women across the UK will follow their lead. By using St. Ives facial scrubs women across the country can reveal younger, fresher and healthier looking skin, which we hope will go some way to giving them the confidence to strip back their make-up and embrace their natural beauty'.

The top 10 naturally beautiful UK celebrities:

1. Duchess Catherine (16 per cent)

2. Holly Willoughby (10 per cent)

3. Keira Knightley (nine per cent)
