We all know something important is happening. Did we get another new Pope or something? The main thing is that nice-looking dude with the biceps is back on the podium outside No10.

As the nation goes wild for Hot Podium Guy AKA Downing Street sound engineer Tobias Gough we have a shameless gawp at some distractingly fit people

First of all - Hot Podium Guy himself. Hes the Grim Reaper of UK Prime Ministers, but make it sexy. Whoever the elected leader is, when they have something to say, Tobias Gough will show up first to check the sound equipment outside Downing Street.

Hell do it looking like a snack too, in tight black jeans and a t-shirt that shows off his gym-honed physique. Tobias has been setting social media on fire since his latest appearance, just before Keir Starmer resigned on Monday.

The Kings coronation, in 2023, was a suitably grand occasion. But after a few hours of pomp and ceremony, youd be forgiven for drifting off into a pleasant daydream about a stately woman with a sword.

Its possible that woman would be Penny Mordaunt, former Tory MP for Portsmouth North, whose toned upper arms and form-fitting frock turned every head in Westminster Abbey. Not that shed stand for any of that nonsense.

When the late queen, Elizabeth II, was laid to rest in 2022, Britain was understandably in shock.

But it still didnt stop us from noticing Lieutenant Colonel Jonny Thompson, a handsome Scottish equerry or royal aide whose uniform kilt inspired more than a few moments of quiet contemplation.

He had to step back from the spotlight for a while, but has since returned as King Charles right-hand man.

Hot Bridesmaid

We all know Princess Kate is a beautiful woman. But on her wedding day in 2011, it felt a bit wrong to give it too much thought.

Luckily, she brought her own decoy in the form of her younger sister Pippa, a similar-looking brunette in a well-tailored Alexander McQueen dress.

Was her bottom really as perky as we all convinced ourselves? And does it even matter?

Hot Felon

Jeremy Meeks is ridiculously good looking. Were talking about a man so handsome, he walked straight out of prison in 2016 and into a modelling contract.

He went on to date loaded heiress Chloe Green and it all started with a viral mugshot, posted online by police in Stockton, California, after his 2014 arrest for grand theft and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Hot Mugshot

Shes not quite the female equivalent of Jeremy, given she was only arrested for speeding. But when US police shared Lily Stewarts mugshot last year, the student was accused of stealing nothing but hearts.
