Dale Howard | DJ and Music Producer

Born 30th October 1986 | In St Helens, Merseyside, England

Image © Ian Thraves Photography

Dale's original ambition was to become a professional footballer. However, unsuccessful trials with both Manchester United and Wigan Athletic ended that particular aspiration. At Liverpool's John Moores University, he trained to become a physical education teacher but realised that teaching wasn't his vocation.

Dale's big break came when he was selected as a housemate for the ninth series of Channel Four's reality show Big Brother. At the launch night, on the 5th June, 2008, he entered the house to a chorus of boos after coming across as arrogant in his pre-recorded introduction. It was in the same interview that Dale made his infamous "If there's any fanny in there, I'm gonna nail it. Especially if they're fit" remark. In spite of the bad start, he survived for 65 days as viewers quickly succumbed to his cheeky grin and killer body. In 2010, Dale was voted the 'Best Looking Male Housemate' of all time.

After brief stints as a personal trainer and male stripper, he established himself as a DJ and music producer. In 2011, and again in 2012, Dale starred alongside Marcus Patrick, Alex Reid and Danny Young in the Full Monty-esque stage play 'WildBoyz'.

Prior to his career in modelling, Florent had completed an apprenticeship as a plumber before becoming a male stripper. In 2010, he participated in the French reality TV series 'Qui veut épouser mon fils?' (Who wants to marry my son?). With his good looks and enviable physique, the Frenchman was a welcome addition to photographer Lionel Andre's 'BOYS 2011' calendar. When asked about any worries he may have about posing nude, Florent replied: "No, I'm at ease before the camera, I have no complex."

Florent is an accomplished practitioner of Judo, a martial art he's been involved with since the age of four. In fact, the tattoo on his right shoulder spells 'Judo' in Japanese. Florent's daily exercise regime includes two hours of weight training and an hours swimming. Enjoy!

Jakub Stefano (Real name Jakub Bandoch) | Male Model

Born 23rd March 1985 | In Brno, Czech Republic | Eyes: Brown | Hair: Brown | Height: 1.83m (6'0")

Image © Thomas Synnamon Photography

Under the alias of Dominique Bouquet, Jakub first surfaced as a fresh-faced young model at Bel Ami. During his time with the iconic purveyors of gay pornography, he made the obligatory 'solo video' and posed for sexually explicit photographs. However, Jakub didn't pursue a career with the studio, preferring instead to concentrate on his academic side.

Through bodybuilding contests and beauty pageants, Jakub ventured into the world of mainstream modelling. He has since been photographed by, among others, Justin Monroe, Dylan Rosser and Thomas Synnamon. Although, curiously, Jakub still regularly appears on pay-per-view adult sites. What drives him there? Does he crave attention? Or is Jakub just a bit of an exhibitionist? Whatever the reason, it doesn't take away from the fact that he's perfection personified.

Ashley McKenzie | Judo Athlete

Born 17th July 1989 | In Queen's Park, London, England | Height: 1.62m (5'3¾")

Image by Mark Barnfield © Carousel Calendars

Ashley is a judo athlete who competed for Team GB at the London 2012 Olympic Games. Competing in the under 60kg category, he won his first World Cup title in February 2011. Ashley's mother introduced her son to the sport after he had a row with someone over Pokémon cards aged 11.

Growing up in North London, Ashley's childhood was blighted by behavioural and health problems. He wore a hearing aid, had asthma, eczema and a heart operation at 18 months old. Ashley was diagnosed with Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as a child, after his mother was forced to admit him to a psychiatric unit for six months.

The condition has got Ashley into trouble all his life and in the last few years he's been banned from the British judo squad four times for misconduct. He talked about how ADHD affects his life as a competitive sportsman in a documentary for BBC Three called 'The Bad Boy Olympian'.

"I used to be a bad boy," Ashley admits. "I didn't think I would succeed at anything. But you find your own way and judo saved me."

In August 2012, Ashley became a contestant on the tenth series of 'Celebrity Big Brother'. He made it through to the final, eventually finishing in fifth place.
