Mum and dad top kids' poll of "most magical" people

Parents beat celebrities, sports stars, teachers, and even a duchess, to the top spot

Family having fun together outside
Mum and dad are more magical than celebrities and royalty!

It seems nobody can beat mum or dad when it comes to the most magical people in kids’ lives.

Mum topped the survey of 1,000 UK children aged between 4 and 16, followed by dad. X Factor stars scooped numerous spots, including judge Tulisa Contostavlos in third place and fellow judge Kelly Rowland in sixth. Ahh, the power of TV...

Teachers will be pleased to hear that they also featured in the list, ahead of the Duchess of Cambridge and David Beckham.

The top 10 most magical people in the children's lives were:

  1. Mum
  2. Dad
  3. Tulisa Contostavlos
  4. One Direction
  5. JLS
  6. Kelly Rowland
  7. My teacher
  8. Janet Devlin
  9. Kate Middleton
  10. David Beckham
