Meanwhile, he can also expect a kiss from panellist Dawn French after she previously revealed she wanted to snog the winner.
She said: "I'm a woman of a certain age but I'm enjoying the boys. They are great eye candy.
"It's not even that they're buff and fit, they're just talented. And that for me is even more attractive."
Dawn also admitted she has to stop herself flirting with the hunky contestants.
She said: "I snog a lot of people and I'm an outrageous flirter. But that's not what I'm there for so I couldn't really tell you what I'm thinking."
