If you're ginger, hot and like to have fun - get snapping!

You've often heard of ginger hair being referred to as a 'genetic mutation' (due to the MC1R gene causing the imbalance of melanin) , but now, with thanks to photographer Thomas Knights, it's simply known as 'sexy'!

Since 2013, Knights, who is a redhead himself, has been on a mission to transform the cliché of being a ginger man into something sizzling via RED HOT 100.

Speaking on Dermot and Dave, Thomas tells us about the idea behind his concept;

Red Hot started off as a photography exhibition that was designed to try and rebrand the ginger male stereotype and it quickly became global

He also says;

Often in film and TV, the ginger man is portrayed as an underwhelming character or he bad guy. Never the hero, never the heart-throb

But there is one guy who has broken the mould Tom...

 

He's now looking for six more males to complete his 12-man line-up for the 2020 calendar (their 10th edition), with the photoshoot taking place in Ibiza this summer;

*cheeky

There's still time to apply so if you tick all their criteria boxes then you're in with a shot.

According to the company, they're looking for guys with an "athletic physique" and an "awesome personality".

If you think you fit that description and fancy being their next man of the month, all you have to do is take a few photos of yourself in Red Hot branded underwear and share them on their Instagram page using the hashtags #RedHot100 and #RedHotBoys.

With roughly 10% of the Irish population rocking some flame-coloured locks, we all have a sexy ginger mate. So get tagging!
