Newcastle’s Fittest Fresher – The boys FINAL

Well, three strenuous weeks of hunting for talent is finally over and your votes have left six strong sexies in the final.

They're all more eager to win than ever before, which is why your votes are so important. Choose wisely, some of them have a big enough ego already. Here's one last look…

TOBES HOUCHIN – Round one winner

Tobes Houchin, who was described by one of his 'lady friends' as "100% my type on paper" flew into the lead of round one with 32% of the votes.

He told the Tab Newcastle that he was absolutely loving the attention it was bringing him; "one girl asked for a selfie with me in Flares."

PATRICK ANDERSON – Round one

Our personal fave and dark horse, Patrick J F Anderson, came a not so close second place, but was very humbled by the news. Being previously described as a "fucking weapon", he exceeded everyone's expectations and shook up the competition.

He was definitely the most pleased about being in the final, giving this plea for votes: "being crowned fittest fresher would bring me joy equal to, or possibly exceeding, the first time I sampled the combination of a chunk of Stilton with a glass of vintage port." Well, we have no words.

SAM HUXLEY – Round two winner

Second round winner Sam Huxley got the highest percentage of winning votes (or his dog did). After being described as "a nice guy to take home to your mum", along with his golden tan and sexy muscles, he had it in the bag.

After hearing the news he proclaimed "Don't do it for me, do it for Coco", which we're gonna assume is his dog. Unfortunately Sam, the dog can't save you now.

OLLIE MCINTOSH – Round two

His friends couldn't hide their astonishment when model Ollie Mcintosh only placed second in last weeks round, after assuring everyone "there's no need to look at the other contestants". Awkward.

He wasn't too disheartened by his place, saying "I may not have come first in my round, but I am more determined than ever to win overall. Even if I don't though, do you know Calvin Klein read The Tab? I've just been scouted for a 50k deal." Every cloud hun.

JOSH TODD – Round three winner

Round three winner, Josh Todd, stormed into the lead earlier this week with a hefty percentage of the votes. He was devastated and unsettled to see we hadn't used his preferred naked pic for his entry, but maybe it'll teach him that girls care more about what's in the inside rather than a few nudes. Lesson learnt Josh?

After hearing that he had placed in the final, he pleaded "I'm doing Philosophy, vote to make 30k worth while". Not sure that winning fittest fresher is going to sort your money worries out babe.

JAMES LETHABY – Round three

Our Leeds angel, James Lethaby, who fell second by a handful of votes, told the Tab Newcastle that getting placed in the competition has changed his life: "the Facebook adds are rolling in on a constant, I've even been asked for a couple of autographs." Hold tight James hun, you haven't won yet.

He stated that all of his 'new fans' shouldn't be scared to wave at him on campus. "I always give a sexy wink back to anyone who waves at me." Think he's got a bit confused between Britain's Next Top Model and Newcastle's Fittest Fresher, but each to their own.

Well, there you have it. The final words from our beautiful boys. Now it is up to you to cast your votes and decide on Newcastle's Fittest Fresher 2017.

Good luck to all the contestants!
