MEL Gibson has got it and Brad Pitt oozes it from every pore - but does your man have it?

Utopia nightclub, in Blackburn town centre, has been picked to host the Lancashire auditions in search of the hunkiest man in Britain.

Utopia have teamed up with God's Gift, Granada television's late night dating show, for the competition and want to hear from anyone who is or who knows a man in the region with so much sex appeal he has women eating out of the palm of his hand.

A spokesperson for Utopia said: "We want someone who can sweep a girl off her feet. He has to be the best thing since sliced bread."

A dozen gorgeous men from the region will be picked at the auditions at Utopia on Saturday February 8 to go through to compete for the title.

Contestants need to be man enough to strut their stuff in front of an audience of 100 screaming girls as they compete for the title of God's Gift.

Anyone wishing to enter can contact Utopia on Blackburn 662662 or God's Gift direct on 0894 111123.
