Daniel Craig is the James Bond actor most married women want to have an affair with.

The hunky star - who reprises his role as 007 for a third time in new film Skyfall - beat his predecessor Pierce Brosnan into second place to be named the first bedroom choice for committed ladies if they had a 'free pass' from their husbands.

According to website IllicitEncounters.com, which conducted the poll, Craig received 43 per cent of the vote, while Pierce got 26 per cent.

Sir Sean Connery - who played the suave spy on seven occasions - came third with 23 per cent, followed by Sir Roger Moore in fourth with only four percent of votes.

Timothy Dalton was fifth with three per cent followed by George Lazenby - who had one run out as 007 - with a meagre one per cent of support.

IllicitEncounters spokesman Mike Taylor said: "Luckily for many of the female members of IllicitEncounters.com some of the main things we associate with James Bond - secret messages, covert meetings, staying in five star hotels and a love of fast cars - also describe many of the male members on the site. For many of the men on the site this is how they live their lives."

If the tables were turned, husbands voted Halle Berry - aka Giacinta Johnson in Bond film Die Another Day - their first choice to use their 'free pass' with.

She was followed by Eva Green, aka Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale, and Jane Seymour, Solitaire in Live and Let Die.

Other favourite Bond girls included Gemma Arterton and Ursula Andress.
