It may not come as a surprise to many, but Geri Halliwell has been voted the worst dancer in pop history in a new poll.

The former Spice Girl's moves failed to impress the 13,500 pop fans who were questioned by the makers of Tomy MicroDancers dolls. Still, she can take heart from the fact that, among others, she triumphed over Cliff Richard, Victoria Beckham and the Cheeky Girls who appeared at the number three, five and ten spots respectively.

Madonna was voted the woman most able to Get Into the Groove, followed by her current mini-Me, Britney Spears. Nipple-flashing moved Janet Jackson into third place, in front of Beyonce and J-Lo who got honourable top ten mentions for their unique brands of shapely rump shaking.

The mens' poll proved to be more of a classic contest, with Justin Timberlake pushing Michael Jackson back into second place, and Saturday Night Fever star, John Travolta and the original hip-swiveller, Elvis both appearing in the top five.
