The heat Readers' Torso 2009 has arrived!

As it's only now 37 days until Christmas (yep, believe it), we're doing our best not to dwell on where the hell the past year has gone and focus instead on all the good things about this time of year. Mulled wine, New Moon out in cinemas, mince pies being an acceptable breakfast food and the heat Readers' Torso. Yep, it's that time of year again where we offer one studly hunk of a man the chance to appear in the bumper Christmas issue of heat magazine, and all he has to do is show us his yummy body. If you know someone whose torso is good enough to show off to the heat-reading world, then take a snap of the lucky fella with his shirt off and holding a copy of heat (with his permission, obvs) and send it to us.

As we've done in previous years, all the Torsos we select will be entered into a daily poll on heatworld, where users can vote for who they want to go through. After lots of Torsos and lots more votes, the winner will be crowned heat Readers' Torso Of The Week and get their sexy selves in the Christmas issue of heat! We for one are very excited about this, so please don't keep us waiting too long! Send your Torsos (remember to ask permission, and get said fella to pose with a copy of heat) to competitions@heatworld.com marked "Torso". All entrants must be over 18, and really really fit. Understood?
