Ricky Wilson says the best thing about his glossy makeover since appearing on The Voice is that he has garnered a gay following.
The 36-year-old Kaiser Chiefs frontman shed pounds and got his teeth straightened before taking to his revolving chair, and his dishy new look hasn’t gone unnoticed.
‘I get a lot more attention from men than women. They say, “You’re hot. I wouldn’t mind a go on you”, which I find a compliment. I find it harder to please the same sex,’ he told Metro in an exclusive chat.
Wilson, who has been with his girlfriend Lesley Williams for more than five years, warns he is going all-out to win their respect.
‘There was a load of us on holiday last year and we were all sitting around the pool and someone had brought the [gay magazine] Attitude issue with the 100 hunkiest men,’ he said.
‘I was reading through it and said “I am going to do whatever it takes to get in this magazine next year.” We have booked the same villa and we are going back to Tuscany at the same time that issue should be back and I want to parade around the pool with my 100th hunkiest male entry. If I scraped in at 100, I’d be fine.’
While the Ruby singer has had viewers of both sexes swooning as he coached acts on The Voice, he insisted he was embarrassed by his effect.
‘The thing is, you can put anyone on TV and they can be hot. It’s like listening to a song on the radio, if you hear it every day you’ll start liking it,’ he protested.
