Attitude Sexiest Man of the Year Award: Liam Payne

We first told you about this award last month when we had him on the cover. All hail Liam Payne, the winner of our Sexiest Man of the Year award, supported by Popchips.

Ah, Liam. Just ask his 20 million Twitter followers and they’ll tell you he’s the sexiest, most charismatic, charming man the world has ever seen. And with the ferocious loyalty of One Directioners in mind, who are we to argue?

Luckily (for our safety), we can say that they are right. When we met the 22-year-old global sensation for our cover shoot last month, we were pleasantly surprised to discover that he was everything his fans say he is, and more. Liam is hot. He proved it when he hit the beach a year ago, revealing his newly sculpted body. And he proved it on set when we caught a wee glimpse of him changing into his shirt.

Not that Liam rates himself. Ask him if he expected to top his 1D mates and he says he’s surprised. “It’s quite a shock to be honest, and I am very thankful to those who think I deserve this. It’s a great title to have, what can I say about that? I’m super happy about it.”

You can find out more about Liam – and the rest of winners from the 2015 Attitude Awards, presented in association with Virgin Holidays – in our special Attitude Awards issue, available to download from 11pm tonight at attitudedigital.co.uk and in shops tomorrow (Thursday October 15).
