Clio? Papa? "No, itsh Sean. Turn right. Lean forward..."

Bought a new TomTom, got a free Clio? TomTom hopes to tug at singletons' heartstrings this Valentine’s Day, with the launch of four sexy celebrity satnav voices.

For the next two weeks, you can be bullied by the love of your dreams. For (straight) men, the drive back from the off-licence on 14 February could be accompanied by the voice of Aussie temptress Kylie Minogue telling you that you’ve gone too far, stop that.

Alternatively, you could be told to turn right at the next corner by Claudia Schiffer.

For the (equally straight) ladies, there’s a choice between beefy Brad Pitt and the shmooth, shilver-haired Sean Connery.

Alas, they're not the real thing - all four voices are performed by impersonators, TomTom admitted. But it’s probably as close as you’ll ever come to getting Claudia in your back seat or Brad in your ~~Porsche~~ Skoda.

TomTom will supply all four voices with each of its satnavs sold between 7 and 21 February.
