Comedian Russell Howard has been named "Weird Crush 2013", an award for the world's most unconventionally sexy men.

The accolade, from heat magazine, is an honour that even conventionally attractive men lust after, with One Direction star Harry Styles quoted as saying he fancies his chances for the title.

Previous winners have included magician Derren Brown, Ricky Gervais’s sidekick Karl Pilkington and Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson.

Russell, 32, beat fellow comedian Jon Richardson into second place. He said: “Thanks – I think – to the people who voted for me. Finally, I am king of the mingers!”
