The celebrity family Britons would most like to join on holiday is that of Jamie Oliver, according to a new survey.

Conducted by Takethefamily.com, the poll revealed that 67 per cent of people would love to take a break with the TV chef and his family, with 15 per cent opting for the Beckhams and ten per cent choosing Madonna and her loved ones.

However, politicians came bottom of the list, with seven per cent picking David Cameron and family and just one per cent choosing prime minister Gordon Brown.

Lucy Ace, managing director of Takethefamily.com, said that more families are choosing to take holidays with other families to take advantage of facilities such as large villas and allow their children to play with other kids they know.

"So we thought it would be fun to see who would be the ultimate family to join on holiday," she added.

Another poll by the website revealed in 2006 that Barcelona is the number one location for a short city break for British families.
