Catherine, Duchess Of Cambridge has been voted the perfect Bond girl.

Prince William's wife saw off competition from pop stars Rihanna and Beyonce in a poll to find the ideal female foil for movie superspy 007.

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian and British singer Cheryl Cole round out the top five in the survey for gadget website MenKind.co.uk.

A MenKind spokesman says, "We were surprised to see that Kate Middleton was the woman Britain most wanted to see getting to grips with Bond and his gadgets."

The poll was undertaken to celebrate the release of new Bond movie Skyfall, which hits cinemas later this month (Oct12).
