Former pop star Kerry Katona has been voted as the most hated woman in Britain.

Katona came top in a survey carried out by website onepoll.com, which asked British women to name their least favourite famous females.

Kerry was criticised for smoking and drinking throughout her recent pregnancy. The star's behaviour on her MTV reality show Crazy In Love was also scrutinised in the tabloid press.

Peaches Geldof, daughter of former Boomtown Rat Bob, came second in the poll, followed by Hollywood star Angelina Jolie. GMTV host Fiona Phillips and Tony Blair's wife Cherie also made the top five.

A spokeswoman for onepoll.com said: "British women have very strong ideas about who they do and don't like."

The top ten hated female celebrities were as follows:

1. Kerry Katona
2. Peaches Geldof
3. Angelina Jolie
4. Fiona Phillips
5. Cherie Blair
6. Gillian McKeith
7. Chantelle Houghton
8. Sadie Frost
9. Natasha Kaplinsky
10. Paris Hilton
