If you see Jeremy Clarkson walking with a spring in his step, it's highly likely that it might have something to do with the fact he's just been crowned the UK's sexiest man - for the second year in a row.
The 64-year-old presenter's bragging rights about being the most attractive bloke in the nation have today (16 May) been extended for another 12 months, as it was announced that he had won the annual poll once again.
Jeremy Clarkson managed to outshine hunks including Cillian Murphy, Idris Elba and Tom Holland to bag the top spot, while scoring an admirable nine out of 10 points.

According to the 2,000 women who took part in the yearly poll commissioned by IllicitEncounters - a dating site for extramarital affairs - the former Top Gear star is a guy who really gets them going.
Participants are asked who they think the sexiest fella in the UK is and are tasked with rating a list of 50 celebrities who have been culturally relevant or in the news a lot over the last 12 months in order of attractiveness.
They rate the famous faces from one to ten - with ten obviously being the highest score - based on their 'sexiness'.
The ladies who took part clearly thought that Clarkson was very easy on the eyes, as he managed to beat out some stiff competition to triumph for the second year on the trot.
Maybe it's his soft side which comes out when he's clutching an animal on Clarkson's Farm, or his amusing anecdotes on The Grand Tour that do it, but whatever it is, it seems that he has got females in a chokehold.
The car fanatic pipped Spider-Man star Tom Holland, 37, who scored a respectable eight points in the poll, to second place.
The Prince of Wales, 41, was third place - which is an incredible leap from being at the bottom of the scoreboard last year.
England manager Gareth Southgate, 53, came fourth, followed by Peaky Blinders actor Cillian Murphy, 47, Luther legend Idris Elba and This Morning's Dermot O'Leary.
Jungle king Sam Thompson, 31, who won over the public on last year's I'm A Celeb, was in eighth place while the 'Hardest Geezer' Russ Cook - who became the first person to run the entire length of Africa - came in ninth.
As well as some interesting inclusions in the Top 10 this year, there were some notable names missing from the list of favourites in 2024.
Take Ryan Reynolds, 47, for example, who plummeted from the number four spot all the way down to 26th place.
Mike Tindall, 45, also had a fall from grace as he lost his place in the top three to come in 29th, while Piers Morgan, 59, dropped down the list from 17th to 40th.
Prince Harry was drastically outdone by his brother too, finishing in the bottom ten in the undesirable 47th place.
It's a good day to be Jeremy Clarkson, eh?
Illicitencounters spokesperson Jessica Leoni said of this year's results: "Clarkson and his farm is a bit like Noah's ark and, just like the animals in that story, his victory in the Sexiest Man vote has come in twos.
"We all know about his brash persona, but the latest series of Diddly Squat has shown he can tug at heartstrings too - and clearly his famer look continues to set hearts racing.
"Just like last year's poll, we knew providing our members with a list of 50 famous names across both genders and asking them to score them on their 'sexiness' would throw up some surprises - we're not putting it past Clarkson to go for the three-peat next year!"
