He is hoping his good looks and carefully toned physique will win him the title of hottest hunk in his county – and possibly the title of Mr England.

But estate agent Mark Young, 21, is so far the only entrant in the Mr Hampshire competition, which takes place next month and which opened up to men for the first time this year.

Entries close on February 21 and Mark is keen for some healthy competition.

He said: “I can’t believe other people haven’t applied – it’s not just a beauty pageant, there are so many aspects to it like helping people by raising money for charity.

“For any guys who think they could be a model it’s a great opportunity to pursue that.”

The organisers are equally baffled why more men haven’t entered the competition.

However, it is just possible that they think they might not stand much of a chance.
