London: Icelandic singer Bjork, who famously dressed up as a swan at the 2001 Academy Awards, has been voted the world's most eccentric celebrity in a recent British magazine poll.
The 40-year-old, who also had a run-in with a reporter in Bangkok 10 years ago, beat out former world boxing champion Chris Eubank and goalkeeper-turned-commentator David Icke, who came second and third respectively.
Bernie Herlihy, editor of the BBC's Homes and Antiques magazine which held the poll, said readers had crowned Bjork the most bizarre star thanks to "her quirky dress sense and very individual type of music.
"She's known by the public for pretty crazy things like having an altercation with a journalist," she added.
Former Doctor Who actor Tom Baker was ranked fourth while the reality television star and former rocker Ozzy Osbourne came fifth.
Nearly 6,000 people voted in the poll.
"I thought someone like David Icke might (come) top actually," Herlihy said of the man who proclaimed himself the "son of God" during a television interview in 1991.
The top 10 also includes John McCririck, Patrick Moore, Vivienne Westwood, Jimmy Savile and Uri Geller.
