Who has the body of England skipper David Beckham, the face of Hollywood babe magnet George Clooney, the flowing locks of French international David Ginola, the dress sense of Jack Dee and the humour of Friday night favourite Graham Norton? The answer: the ideal boss.

And 48% of respondents said Richard Branson would be their perfect employer. That is despite Branson's golden boy image taking a pounding from Tom Bower's damning biography.
