Surprisingly, Prince Charles and his second wife Camilla came third, proving that the public still believe in royal love affairs.

Charles and Camilla beat such glamorous duos as Posh and Becks, Jordan and Peter Andre and Hollywood star couple, Kate Winslet and Sam Mendes.

At the other end of the scale, one-time husband and wife Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley were voted the least natural couple, followed by wacky Lib Dem MP Lembit Opik and his Cheeky Girl.

Jamie and Jools Oliver seem to have one of the happiest celebrity marriages, according to the 3,000 people polled by Huggies Natural Fit nappies.

The Naked Chef and his former model wife met in 1993 and married in 2000. They now have two children - Poppy Honey and Daisy Boo.

Author and relationship expert Dr Pam Spurr said: "It's no surprise that the Olivers have come out top.

"Jamie's down-to-earth personality, paired with Jules being perceived as a supportive partner, gives them fantastic appeal."

"And whether you're a fan of the Royals or not, third-placed Charles and Camilla seem to fit together like a pair of comfy old slippers.

"The well-documented ups and downs of their relationship culminating in their happy marriage strike a chord with people at an emotional level.

"We're impressed that their relationship has survived and thrived against many odds.

"And at a psychological level we assume they're well matched on a number of personality traits - their dedication to their families, their love of the outdoors and tweeds!"

Other natural couples include actress Kate Winslet and her director husband Sam Mendes, Wayne Rooney and Coleen McLoughlin and singer Elton John and his partner David Furnish.

Junkie rocker Pete Doherty and model Kate Moss were voted the third worst fitting couple, ahead of Nicky and Pete from Big Brother - and Gordon Brown and Tony Blair.
