You might have already seen that Blake Shelton has been named People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive this year.
He's the boyfriend of Gwen Stefani, country singer and judge on NBC's The Voice - not that we're suggesting you don't know know who he is.
Well, Shelton has now joined a whole host of hot winners including Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Channing Tatum, George Clooney and Chris Hemsworth.

Dear People Magazine, No woman on earth fantasizes about Blake Shelton. Also, stop whitewashing sexiest man alive.— Kim Schwan (@Kim Schwan) 1510791302
But Shelton did have a bit of support beyond just the people of People magazine.

I notice everyone is saying Blake Shelton ain’t sexy enough instead of coming to his defense for being objectified.… https://t.co/8Md99sxhPi— Corey Ryan Forrester is in Chicago Jan 16th! (@Corey Ryan Forrester is in Chicago Jan 16th!) 1510813014
