One Direction star Liam Payne has charted highly on Attitude magazine's list of the hottest men around.

The gay lifestyle magazine recently asked readers to vote on who they think are the most attractive guys in the world.

The singer landed at No.3 - making him the hottest musician on the planet.

Australian athlete Simon Dunn topped this year's Hot 100 list, with Channing Tatum at No.2 and Tom Daley at No.4.

Other highly placed names included Zac Efron, David Beckham and Stuart Reardon.

Payne, it seems, trumped his One Direction bandmates on the list by some way.

Harry Styles was No.83, Louis Tomlinson was No.85 and Niall Horan rested at No.87.
