Soap stars Jennifer Ellison & Ryan Thomas were the 2008 winners of the Rear of the Year competition.

The former Brookside star had fought off competition from some of the UK’s well known celebrity bottoms to be crowned Rear of the Year by online voters.

“I am thrilled to be voted Rear of the Year 2008. I’d like to say a big ‘thank you’ to everyone who voted for me,” she said.
