AMERICAN IDOL - AIKEN UNSURE ABOUT BATH HONOUR

AMERICAN IDOL runner-up CLAY AIKEN is stunned to learn he's the third most popular man women would like to take a bath with.

The INVISIBLE singer, who was noted by his fans for his "geek to chic" makeover on the TV contest, proved popular in GLAMOUR magazine's poll of 16,000 women, who were asked which celebrity they'd most like to jump into the tub with.

But even with just BRAD PITT and GEORGE CLOONEY ahead of him in the poll, Aiken admits he'd prefer to share a different activity with his fans, explaining, "I'm kind of afraid of the water so I take showers! My mom doesn't swim, I don't swim... You can drown in a glass of water!"
