LONDON, May 27, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Mum has come out tops in the classic conversation starter of who would you invite to a dream dinner party - from an online competition released yesterday by McCain Sweet Potato.
For once, celebs were snubbed in favour of the leading lady in all of our lives, mum - who beat off competition from world class comedians, Hollywood heart throbs and international popstars.
Second place went to boffin Stephen Fry, with beauties Robbie Williams, David Beckham and Johnny Depp coming third, fourth and fifth, showing that brains beat beauty to the table.
Gordon Brown may have lost out on the election, but he beat fellow politicians to win the sixth seat around the dream dinner table, with David Cameron bagging seventh place and poor Nick Clegg left out in the cold.
Elvis, Lady Ga Ga and Cheryl Cole completed the top ten, bringing music and entertainment to the table - not to mention an interesting clash of outfits.
The competition also revealed that the favourite location to host the dream dinner party was at our own humble abode, with the beach coming a close second.
Chris Lever, Senior Product Manager, for McCain Foods said: "How refreshing that instead of celebrities, most of us would prefer to spend our dream dinner party with our own mums - the original and best star in all of our lives."
The results were revealed following a competition run by McCain, where consumers were asked to say who they would want at their dream dinner party, where it would be held and what they would eat - visit http://www.mccainsweetpotato.co.uk to see all the entertaining entrants. Every visitor also gets a 50p off coupon on McCain Sweet Potato with rosemary and garlic.
McCain Sweet Potato is available from all major supermarkets, nation-wide. RRP GBP1.99 for 400g.
