Greg Hodge - who is the managing director of the online love website - has opened up about the platform, which has rejected 8.5 million people from 140 countries for not being attractive enough to join, and revealed that the results are a ''bitter pill to swallow'' because many UK individuals don't make the cut.

He said: ''Sweden and Norway are proving to be the most aesthetically blessed nations in the world.

''UK men and women aren't faring well, especially UK men, who share the dubious honour of being classified as the ugliest in the world on par with Russian and Polish men.

''I would say Britain is stumbling, especially the men, because of a general lack of grooming and an inactive pub culture lifestyle. Being English myself, this is a bitter pill for me and my countrymen to swallow.''
