New dating app rates the sexiness of your selfies… now we try it on celebs

Clever application rates how attractive you are

EVER wondered if you are hotter than Liz Hurley? Or feared you may be, er,
even less of a looker than Wayne Rooney?

Now you can find out for sure – with the help of clever Swiss dating app
Blinq, which uses artificial intelligence to rank the sexiness of your
selfie.

Users upload a snap to the app to be rated on a six-point scale – Hmm, OK,
Nice, Hot, Stunning or Godlike.

The gadget also has a go at guessing your age, with mixed results – it thought
56-year-old Nigella Lawson was 26.

Here we test it on a few celebs, with Blinq’s ratings and guesses at their age
and sex on their pictures.

Now see if you think Blinq got its hotness ratings right.


MAIN PIC

GODLIKE (26 YEARS): KATE WINSLET, 40

Gorgeous Kate was the only one of our celebs to be rated “Godlike” by the app,
which also thought she was 14 years younger.

STUNNING (22 YEARS): RITA ORA, 25

Three years shaved off by the app, but the “stunning” is probably a level
below where many would rate the star.

OK (35 YEARS): BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH, 39

Only OK? Then it will take Sherlock Holmes to work out the mystery of his sex
appeal.

NICE (33 YEARS): DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE, 33

Fans will take issue with the app’s opinion that she deserves to get merely a
“nice” rating.

OK (26 YEARS): NIGELLA LAWSON, 56

We would all like her recipe for looking youthful, as the app cut 30 years off
the telly cook’s real age.

STUNNING (44 YEARS): SIMON COWELL, 56

His face may look odd on TV but it is “Stunning” on the app – and 12 years
younger.

HOT (28 YEARS): CAROLINE FLACK, 36

The TV host proves she has the X Factor – even without flaunting her
fabulous pins.

STUNNING (31 YEARS): DAVID BECKHAM, 40

He scores in his usual effortless style, with a rating just one away from
perfection.

HOT (33 YEARS): LIZ HURLEY, 50

She was a natural choice as the face of Estée Lauder – and it appears
the app agrees too.

STUNNING (26 YEARS): CARA DELEVINGNE, 23

The beauty’s rating is no surprise – but the app made her three years older.

NICE (28 YEARS): AIDAN TURNER, 32

Blinq cannot have seen the Poldark star in a towel or he would have rated off
the scale.

HMM… (47 YEARS):SUSAN BOYLE, 54

Britain’s Got Talent – but it seems the singer has not, with a lacklustre Hmm
rating.

NICE (29 YEARS): KATE MOSS, 41

Hard partying has had little effect on the model, who is 12 years older than
Blinq thinks.

HMM… (52 YEARS): JONATHAN ROSS, 55

The telly favourite has a face for radio, according to the app, which gave him
the lowest possible rating.

NICE (60 YEARS): JEREMY CORBYN, 66

The Leader of the Opposition may be nasty to New Labour, but to Blinq he is
Nice.

OK (51 YEARS): DAVID CAMERON, 49

He is no leader in the looks department, with even Jeremy Corbyn
rating better.

NICE (32 YEARS): MIRANDA HART, 43

The funny girl may only rate “Nice” but she has had more than ten years cut
from her age. Such fun!

STUNNING (31 YEARS): ANDY MURRAY, 28

The word “stunning” is often applied to his tennis but seldom to his looks.
But Blinq thinks his face is ace.

HOT (24 YEARS): MYLEENE KLASS, 37

The singer, TV host and model lives up to her name with a “Hot” rating
– and 13 years off her age.

HOT (23 YEARS) KATIE PRICE, 37

Last year she reduced her boobs – and the Blinq app has done an even better
job of reducing her age.

OK (27 YEARS): WAYNE ROONEY, 30

A soccer ace he may be, but he would not make the Premier League of Sexy,
reckons the app.
