At least that's the suggestion from the latest 100 Sexiest Men list which concludes that the most potent cause of mass drooling among the island's fairer sex is comedian Des Bishop.

A small joke may have been intended given that brash Bishop's edgy style, rotary blade haircut and appetite for expletives hardly makes him an ideal candidate for taking home to mammy.
