GraphicSprings asked 400 people from the US and the UK about the ways to modernise Santa.

In the UK nearly one in six those questioned thought Santa should be gender neutral.

And in America it was nearly one if five surveyed.

Other suggestions included ditching his iconic suit for skinny jeans, trainers, a hover-board and tattoos.

But on Twitter one person noted: “I’m all for equality but the idea that we should make Santa gender neutral or female is ridiculous!

“You cannot change history – St Nicholas, the guy who started the whole stocking hanging thing was a man!!”

Another tweeted: “Santx; the gender neutral Santa.”

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
