Denise Welch said she is a "huge fan" of Mills & Boon novels

As well as being named the inaugural Mills & Boon Man of the Year, the victor will win a luxury holiday for two worth £3000 and see his Mills & Boon cover appearing in stores in time for Valentine's Day 2016.

Judge Denise Welch said: "I've always been a huge fan of Mills & Boon novels, so when I heard about The Man of the Year I jumped at the chance to get involved. Mills & Boon heroes have been the subject of many women's fantasies, including mine, so I know what I'm looking for in the candidates for the title. But that's my secret!"

Robin Windsor added: "I'll be on the lookout for somebody who not only ticks the looks box, but that also has the personality, strength of character and intelligence that has been made famous by Mills & Boon heroes throughout the years. It will make a nice change to experience life as a judge for once!"
