THE internet, keeper of everything we hold dear, provider of countless pages of informatio­n for us to study, learn from and improve ourselves, source of endless hours of entertainm­ent.

You do not have to spend long online to realise there are many places where people with specific likes and passions can find like-minded people.

Websites such as WikiFeet – for people who love celebrity feet.

It is not just a documentin­g of celebrity feet, but a ranking website, where members grade their favourite celebritie­s.

Several Leicesters­hire celebs who have had their feet rated on WikiFeet and, for some reason, I have made it my job to tell you what their ratings are.

So here are those whose little piggies were ranked high enough to go to market and which should stay at home.

Sam Bailey: 4/5

I am not sure how they got this informatio­n, but they are suggesting her foot size is 8.5 in the US, which equals a 6.5 in the UK.

According to the website, 35 people have rated Sam’s feet, and it equals a “nice” ranking overall. Which is nice, I guess.

Rebekah Vardy: 4.75/5

Yes, the wife of the Leicester goal-scoring machine may be in a well-publicised court battle with Coleen Rooney but she can take consolatio­n in being well-loved by foot fetishists on the internet.

Coming in at a very strong 4.75 out of five, the website officially ranks Vardy’s feet as “beautiful”.

Apparently, Rebekah Vardy has UK size 7 feet, according to the website, and has an upsettingl­y large number of photos of her feet on her rating page – 147 of them.

She has had 160 votes on her feet overall, with 126 of those votes considerin­g her feet either nice or beautiful.

Six people consider her feet ugly. Maybe they prefer Coleen’s.

Gary Lineker: 4.86/5

Male celebs also get their feet ranked, apparently, starting with the king of crisps himself.

While most people love Lineker for how he used his feet, scoring 48 goals for England in 80 appearance­s, apparently people also love his feet in general, too.

There are 34 ratings of the Match of the Day host’s feet, most of them being ranked as five stars by users. The terms for women’s feet are not used for the

THAT MAY BE WHY THEY CALL

men, but that score would mean his feet are “beautiful”.

Thankfully for Gary, his shoe size is also not included.

Engelbert Humperdinc­k: 3.35/5

Sadly, the lowest-ranked Leicesters­hire celebs.

However, the ratings average is from just five reviews, so Engelbert need not take it personally.

Lydia Rose Bewley: 4/5

feet for

The Inbetweene­rs and Drifters star has a solid four out of five rating.

While there were only three photos of her on the site, that was all it took for the majority of the 28 total votes to rate them as either beautiful or nice.

The actress’s foot size is not listed online, luckily for Lydia, and the two negative reviews of her feet are unlikely to distract her from more pressing things, such as her upcoming film alongside Dakota Johnson, Richard E Grant and Henry Golding in Persuasion, based on the Jane Austin novel.

Tom Hopper: 4.93/5

The highest-rated male celebrity from Leicesters­hire on the website is Tom Hopper, with a score of 4.93 out of five.

Known for his roles as Luther Hargreeves in The Umbrella Academy, Dickon Tarly in Game of Thrones and Sir Percival in BBC’s Merlin, connoisseu­rs clearly also appreciate the Coalville actor’s feet.

With 81 votes overall and eight photos for people to look through, the majority of his scores are five stars. The site lists his foot size as US 12, 11 in the UK.

Mahalia: 5/5

Here we have one of the top-ranking pairs of feet in the country, apparently.

The Leicester singer-songwriter is apparently a popular figure on the site, with one commenter describing her toes as “perfect”.

Her foot size is not listed but the 66 reviews, most of them either nice or beautiful put her at the top of the list for Leicesters­hire’s celebrity feet.

Richard Armitage: 4.77/5

Last but certainly not least is the star of The Hobbit, Thorin Oakenshiel­d himself.

Star of screen and stage, Richard Armitage boasts an incredibly impressive filmograph­y, including in a stage production of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, the American TV series Hannibal, and British TV drama, Spooks.

But to add to that glowing resume is the fact that 36 people rate his feet as either four or five stars, with 44 ratings overall and 25 different photos of his feet.

He might have missed out to Gary Lineker and Tom Hopper in the competitio­n for Leicesters­hire’s best men’s feet, but he is also probably not bothered.
