James Corden does David Beckham

First it was David

and then it was Mark Foster “Strictly come dancing”

and now James Corden of “Gavin and Stacey” fame strips off dons a littel pair of undies and lies looking sultry or is that sulky in the camera.

Oh that’s where my grans flask went!

• James Corden, the star of the BBC3 hit sitcom Gavin and Stacey stripped off for a Heat magazine photoshoot parodying David Beckham’s infamous Armani ads. Corden is pictured reclining on an artfully rumpled sheet complete with a VERY LARGE VERY LARGE INDEED comically enhanced package, greased up limbs and moody stare.

• Don’t know about you, but I actually think I prefer the Corden version, he’d be much more fun to hang out with, no offence Becks! If you’ve never seen Gavin and Stacey check out the highly amusing clip after the jump.

And then I find this Chris Fountain – but not on a soft bed with Egyptian cotton sheets but Tyres!

Not really in the same category love!!!

• Bored of David Beckham’s Armani pants ad yet? No, us neither – but we still welcome looking at other men posing in their undies too. Hollyoaks and Dancing On Ice hunk Chris Fountain has posed in a Beckham-like fashion for saucy magazine Scarlet – and these are the photos. We’re not exactly sure why he’s lying on a pile of tyres, but we’re not going to question it seeing as he looks oh so inviting (although not as hot as Becks. Like, duh). To see more of Chris in his knickers and read his exclusive interview, buy this month’s Scarlet magazine – on sale 21 February, or visit http://www.ScarletMagazine.co.uk.

Mark Foster strips off again

Strictly come dancing loser Mark Foster celebrates winning streak by stripping off on Weakest Link

Weakest Link viewers got a little more than they bargained for yesterday when Olympic swimmer Mark Foster won a celebrity edition of the show.   The swimmer, who took part in a Strictly Come Dancing special edition of the show, had promised host Anne Robinson that he would remove his shirt if he won.

Mark who is the 50m freestyle record holder didn’t disappoint, removing his shirt to reveal an impressive torso, complete with Olympic tattoo.   Robinson appeared bemused during Foster’s display, at one point laughing to cover her embarrassment.   Foster was competing against Strictly judges Arlene Phillips and Craig Revel Horwood, and dancers Brendan Cole, Kristina Rihanoff and Anton du Beke.

Weakest Link host Anne Robinson gets an eye full!!

This was not the first time that Foster has taken the opportunity to flaunt his athlete’s body. On being voted off Strictly Come Dancing, the swimmer ripped off his sequinned shirt.  He has also posed topless in a magazine photoshoot in an attempt to replicate David Beckham’s famous advertisement for Armani.  Having been voted out of Strictly early on in the series, it seems that the Weakest Link competition, was an opportunity for the four-time Olympic World champion to get his revenge. Nor was he the only one, as the dancers joined forces to vote off their toughest critics.

Mark Foster bares all to Anne Robinson on The Weakest Link in which he competed against Strictly dancers and judges if you have got it flaunt it!

Despite Rihanoff, who found fame as the partner of John Sergeant, nominating herself as the weakest link, the first to go was Revel-Horwood, whose tough scoring during the Strictly series saw his fellow contestants get their own back.  Du Beke said: ‘I was given a two (out of ten) by Craig in a previous series, there is no excuse for that.’ It seems that the early eviction did little to dampen the judge’s ego though: ‘I was shocked to be voted off first, particularly as I got every question right. Obviously they all saw me a massive threat and decided to gang up.’

Strictly Come Dancing was not the first reality television show in which Foster has missed out on the prize. An appearance on celebrity Masterchef last year, in which he cooked creamy mustard pork with bubble and squeak, followed by chocolate and Irish cream liqueur hot pots, saw him voted off in the first round.

Mark Foster – swimmer

Mark Foster – strictly come dancing x-contestant

bares all as he does a Becks in his briefs shoot!

As far as impersonations go, it is worthy of a gold medal.

It may be good bye to Mark Foster from strictly come dancing even after he appeared in that up to the minute string vest with sleeves.  Well each week you could tell that he was fit and take a peek at this and look at his finely honed physique and effortless smoulder and sexy side look, Mark Foster’s attempt to recreate David Beckham’s notorious Armani advert is not bad, is it?

And except for the odd grey hair, his likeness is all the more remarkable given he is approaching his 40th birthday.  Nothing wrong with being 40 though is there!

X-Strictly Come Stripping: Mark Foster shows off his impressive figure in a David Beckham-style pose

The inspiration for the shoot was Mr Beckham – As David Beckham caused a stir in their provocative pose last year, prompting speculation his package had been airbrushed.  More information about this at underwearqueen.wordpress.com

However, there does appear to be one particular area in which the swimmer fails to measure up to the England footballer.  While Mr Beckham showed off a suspiciously large bulge in his own pictures, the 6ft 5in Olympian falls slightly short in that department according to the press reports, however, it looks okay to me! Either way, both sportsmen appear to have made use of some rather strategic padding during their respective photoshoots.

Explaining his decision to strip down, Foster said: ‘I’m so used to swimming in a pair of trunks and being in next to nothing anyway, stripping to a pair of underpants isn’t a major issue for me. But I don’t see myself as a heartthrob – I’m just me.’The 38-year-old competed in his fifth Olympics in Beijing this summer although failed to win a medal after tumbling out in the early stages of the competition.

And while he has never spoken openly about his love-life he says of his most appealing qualities: ‘I can cook. Even though I went out on the first round of Masterchef, I can cook. I find cooking very therapeutic. ‘I’m also very good at doing as I’m told. I’m pretty tidy, and by the end of this I’ll know my way around a dancefloor.’

I am sure the debate will rage on has he or hasn’t he been enhanced?  What do you think ?
