Jay McGuiness named 'sexiest male vegetarian celebrity' by PETA2

The Wanted singer Jay McGuiness has been recognised for both his dashing good looks and for his dedication to animal rights through vegetarianism by a leading charity.

PETA2, which is People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals' (PETA) US youth division, crowned The Wanted heartthrob the sexiest male vegetarian celebrity in the world this week and he beat some tough competition to the title.

Also in the running for the win was 30 Second To Mars frontman Jared Leto and UK comedian Russell Brand had also been tipped for the prize.

The 'Glad You Came' star's mother spoke with PETA about his love of nature and explained that he was always more into caring for animals than running around chasing a football as a child: "We're all very sporty in this family. We all like football but Jay never took to it. When they were in the garden, they'd all be playing football but he'd be talking to the daisies and the ladybirds... He loved animals."
