The Mr Gay UK Tourbus thundered into Brighton on Sunday as the City By The Sea unleashed her most gorgeous eye candy to the national gay male beauty and personality pageant.

Thirteen easy-on-the-eye lovelies were paraded in front of a Revenge audience that seemed entirely made up of totty and their admirers.

Firstly clothed, and then down to the obligatory swimwear/underwear, the lads strutted their stuff on the Revenge catwalk to secure the vote of the audience.

Hosted by the lovely Steve, who managed to balance just the right quantity of tongue in cheek with his investigative probing into the contestants' 'claim to fame', 'sexiest dream' and 'fantasy model', thrusting deep into each of the boys' psyche...

As with any competition, there was an element of drama - including an incident with a lit cigarette and bare bottom, and a number of contestants may have slightly gone to town on the Dutch courage.

However, after baring their inner-souls (and in some cases, a lot more besides), the audience votes were counted and verified to reveal Damian Radcliffe in third place, Sam Pink in second place and Ryan Botting as Brighton's heat winner and representing us in the final being held at The Flamingo in Blackpool on 31st August 2007.
