GOOGLE has revealed its most searched terms in the UK 2021 and the list has everything from BBC's Strictly Come Dancing to Piers Morgan. 

Tech giant Google releases its most-searched-for trends and terms each year.

This year the topics included hit TV show Bridgerton, footballer Christian Eriksen and sci-fi blockbuster Dune.

It is no surprise that in 2020 Coronavirus topped the list, as did the US election and Caroline Flack.

Matt Cooke, head of Google News Lab, said: “It’s no surprise that 2021 has revealed some interesting insights into the zeitgeist of the nation.

“During a year of unpredictability, we have turned to sport, entertainment, gardening, recipes and UK-based travel to get us through some of the most frustrating and difficult times.

“We have seen searches for prominent women dominate the top of our lists, as well as huge rises in second-hand and sustainability queries over 2021.

“Year in Search always provides a fascinating insight into what the nation is thinking, learning and discovering – about themselves and others.”

Here are the most searched terms for 2021 according to Google

Celebrities

Taking the top spot was footballer Christian Erikson, who collapsed on the pitch during a Euro 2020 match and had a cardiac arrest.

Former health secretary Matt Hancock came in second, who was caught on CCTV kissing his then-aide Gina Coladango and the video leaked to the press. 

Teenage tennis star Emma Raducanu was the third-most Googled person in the UK, after winning the US Open this year. 

Ex-Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan was heavily criticised for saying she “couldn’t handle the pressure” of competing at Wimbledon earlier this year, and was the fourth most Googled person of the year. 

Also in the top 10 was actor Alex Baldwin, rapper Travis Scott and comedian Sean Lock.
