Manchester’s most eligible bachelor: THE FINAL

Vote for who you think is the sexiest man in Manchester


The time has finally come: the final of Manchester’s most eligible bachelor. We have four incredible hunks for you to choose from, so take your pick. Who is going to win the crown of Fallowfield’s fittest fella?

Joseff Edwards

Jos won the first heat by a mile, nobody else stood a chance against this 21-year-old hunk from Bala, North Wales. He’s in his third year studying History, a Christian and is the Chairman of the Rugby Club, in case you didn’t know.

His type is a blonde, sporty Christian, so if that’s you, get in line, girl. Jos describes himself as “passionate, committed and a bit of a pushover” and says that “Mr Hewlett’s my main competition – great lid great beard man after my own heart.”

The craziest thing Mr Edwards has ever done is trying to temporarily dye his hair blonde. He ended up bleaching it permanently and had to hide it with a cap for three months. Utterly wild.

The perfect date with this sporty lad would be “something active and lighthearted – Junkyard Golf sounds class. I’m very competitive though so don’t think I’m going to let you win. Oh, and food is involved. I flippin’ love food!” Out of the most eligible bachelorettes in girls’ final, he would choose Flo Robinson: “we would be the Charlotte Church and Gavin Henson of Fallowfield”.

A standard night out would be AU at 256, “purely for the tunes”. He doesn’t drink so would be strictly Diet Cokes for this chap.

When asked about his hidden talent, Joseff responded, “I’m great in bed… Just kidding, that really isn’t true.”

We also asked what his friends say about him, to which he responded, “‘Jos, why do you keep on becoming friends with so many beautiful women?! What’s your secret?’ (Anonymous, 2016) after my Heat 1 appearance.”

Does he deserve to win the title of Manchester’s most eligible bachelor? If so, head to the bottom of the page to give him a vote.

Freddie Stone

This 19-year-old won our second heat and is now looking to win your hearts in the final. He is in his second year studying Urban and Rural Planning (A.K.A. Sims City). He feels that he is the most eligible of the bachelors because his nine-year-old brother says he’s a “super awesome dude”.

His type is a girl who can make funny Instagram captions, and his three words chosen to describe himself are that he “does not disappoint”, we’ll see about that.

The craziest thing Freddie has ever done is hang from a WW2 bridge over the river Soca in Slovenia, sounds absolutely wild, mate. What about a first date? He’d take you for a charming couple of drinks, and perhaps a meal before testing your true colours in an intense dance off, as he can breakdance after several G&Ts.

Fun fact about Mr Stone: he has lineage to the French throne (before the revolution, of course) and would be 17th in line today.

Billy Hewlett

Hertfordshire boy, Billy won our third round of Manchester’s most eligible so here he is the big ol’ final. He’s 21 and studies PPE. He’s not sure he should win… “have you seen Jos?”

His type is what he refers to as “a staunch lefty” and claims that he’s really good at counting.

The craziest thing he’s ever done is have red wine with fish (deal breaker?) and his perfect first date would begin at Spoons, onto Koh Tao, and finishing at Sajaan. Although he claims that Juicy is his favourite night out.

When asked which of the bachelorettes he’d choose, Billy replied, “‘I’ll take the lot’ (Potter, 2001)”. He also has a hidden talent – he can cook one-minute rice in 58 seconds. What more could you want?

If quick rice and Harry Potter quotes sort you out, give him your vote down below.

Robin Loo

Robin won our fourth and final heat of boys and is proud to be in the final. He’s 22, is in his third year studying Geography and is originally from Lewisham, South East London, although, he has Chinese, Malaysian and English heritage.

He thinks he should be the first bachelor to win without a six pack and would describe his perfect type to be a ‘cutsie-babe’. When asked to describe himself in three words, his response was “Safe. As. Fuck.” Fair enough.

The craziest thing he’s ever done was missing a seminar in first year, so watch out, ladies. A date with Robin would include going out for a gorgeous meal, then maybe out to somewhere dancey, or maybe some live music, then after some “slow whinin and grindin”, whatever that is. He says he would drop you home in a cab and give you a kiss goodnight, but he doesn’t put out on the first date I’m afraid, girls. “I ain’t easy like that.”

His favourite night out in manchester is a party called Euphony at Soup Kitchen, “always piff chicks there and the music’s decent”. House of Flying Daggers is apparently always good fun. He claims they’ve got great DJs and there’s always a good crowd.

If he had to choose one of the most eligible bachelorettes on offer, Robin would go for Morgan, as he has a soft spot for blondes.

Apparently he’s really good at Diabolo (“that juggling thing with two sticks tied with string and like a yoyo”). He claims it’s the ultimate festival babe magnet. “And I’m also a really good cook.”

You can’t say ‘no’ to a chef, surely? If not then vote for this chap below.

So, this is it. It’s your last chance to vote. It’s been a real journey, guys, thanks for your company. There are four excellent men to choose from, so give it some thought and cast your vote.
