La Cole might not have much to smile about at the moment, but she can take comfort in the fact that her grin has topped a poll of celebs whose smile we'd like to possess.

The survey by Juvederm Ultra Smile, revealed that Cheryl received almost 30% of the overall votes, stating that her famously warm smile was a real dazzler. Julia Roberts followed closely behind with 23% of respondents, while in third place was pouty Angelina Jolie with 12%.

The UK's six most wanted celebrity smiles:

1. Cheryl Cole
2. Julia Roberts
3. Angelina Jolie
4. Kirsten Dunst
5. Megan Fox
6. Scarlett Johansson

Judi James, body language expert, has analysed some of the nation's favourite celebrity smiles:

cheryl-cole Cheryl Cole: The Congruent, Symmetric Smile
Cheryl’s is a good example of the perfect congruent smile that ticks every box in terms of smile psychology. Her smile is evenly shaped and spread which would make it appear genuine. Her wide top and bottom lips aren’t compromised by over-stretching; they retain their softened shape, which suggests warmth and sexuality. Her teeth are perfect, suggesting good health and her dimples add the irresistible factor.

julia-roberts Julia Roberts: The Pseudo-Infantile, Infectious Smile
Julia’s mouth has an extraordinarily beautiful lip shape with a very wide, upturned top lip. When she smiles her mouth stretches wide displaying top and bottom teeth but her top lip retains this bias, making it a smile that projects both sensuality and a childlike sense of excitement and happiness.

angelina-jolie Angelina Jolie: The Nurturing Smile
Angelina has one of the most iconic pairs of lips in the business - full and sensual with a perma-pout top lip. It’s this ‘kiss’ lip expression that she’s mainly known for, but when she smiles she engages in a whole different form of body language messaging. Although her smile
retains a softened lip expression, the top lip narrows while the bottom lip becomes more prominent and noticeable. This creates a smile that is less about sex and more about a nurturing sense of warmth and friendliness.
