Nicole Kidman's fiance Keith Urban has been voted the sexiest country music star.

The poll, conducted by US magazine Country Weekly, attracted over 32,000 votes with the singer grabbing the top spot ahead of Renee Zellweger's former spouse Kenny Chesney.

Editor Bill Gubbins said: "The biggest surprise is how rapidly over the last couple of years Keith Urban has shot to the head of the class."

Other male country singers to make the top ten were Toby Keith, Tim McGraw and Billy Ray Cyrus.

Gubbins added: "The readers have made it clear that the wedding ring doesn't matter in terms of sex appeal."

Keith is due to marry Nicole in Sydney on June 25.

The Hollywood actress is reportedly planning to pray for nine days before the wedding because she believes it will make her marriage wishes come true.
