Midweek Mancandy: Steve Jones

The new U.S. version of "The X Factor" started tonight, and although it was lovely to have Simon Cowell back on our TV screens, one of the real highlights was having host Steve Jones on our screen.

Jones started out as a model, then was a presenter for various shows in the UK. He was also in the movie "Anges, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging." 

When they announced that Jones would be the X Factor host, Kel knew who he was and had seen him in things. Jen had no idea who he was, but when she looked at a picture, she decided he was definitely cute enough to grace her TV screen each week.

Then, tonight, he actually started the hosting gig. We were worried that his Welsh accent would be too much for American audiences who aren't obsessive watchers of BBC programming like we are, but he appears to be speaking rather slowly and being careful not to get too Welsh-y when he talks. But even if he does, his accent is gorgeously sexy and really adds to his hot factor (which is already pretty high because, hello? Perfect smile, great bod!). 

In short, we wholeheartedly approve of Jones being the host of The X Factor because, in Kel's words: "Mmmmmm Steve Jones. Welsh and hot."
