The research, by celebrity news site CelebTattler, ­analysed data for more than 150 of the most influential celebrities since the start of the year to determine who was the most talked about.

Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp was second most googled, with an average of 437,490 searches a month.

His ex-wife Amber Heard ranks third on 388,680 — boosted by the pair’s defamation trial from April to June of this year.

Kim Kardashian was fourth, Oscars punch actor Will Smith — who infamously thumped host Chris Rock on stage — is fifth, ahead of Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown.

Meghan Markle was seventh, with new Twitter boss Elon Musk eighth, Cristiano Ronaldo came ninth and pop star Harry Styles completed the top ten with an average 208,680 searches a month.

A spokesman for Celeb-Tattler said: “This year has certainly not been lacking when it comes to celebrity news stories, whether it be Elon Musk taking over Twitter or the Don’t Worry Darling behind the scenes drama.

“It will be interesting to see if these search figures rise or fall in 2023.”
