Celeb men team up to support domestic violence charity

There’s nothing we like better than a real man here at heatworld, especially as there seem to less and less the older we get. Thank goodness, then, for these fine celebrity specimens of Real Men. Ricky Whittle, Will Young and Gethin Jones have joined the likes of Max Beesley, Duncan Bannatyne and Danny Care to help raise awareness of the charity Women’s Aid. Posing in these rather cute T-shirts for the July issue of Cosmopolitan (on sale 10 June), Will and co are doing their best to redefine what it means to be a “real man”. The Women’s Aid campaign aims to promote the message that Real Men aren't violent or abusive towards women because – rather worryingly – reports of domestic violence actually increase during big sporting events such as the World Cup. Will Young said of the campaign, “I studied domestic violence at university and feel passionately that we need to raise awareness of violence against women and children and refuse to ignore it.” You can pick up your very own Real Man T-shirt, which was specially designed by Henry Holland, exclusively at Debenhams during June. But for now, just enjoy the image of Ricky Whittle cuddling a little fluffy dog. We know we did.

    Ricky Whittle?! He was prosecuted for violent behaviour, even though it wasn't a woman he hit. Why have they recruited his charmless ass for this? Will and Gethin - yum!

    Will was picked for this campaign as he has been Ambassador for Women's Aid for at least eight years. Just because he is gay doesn't mean he is not a real man. He is mighty fine! Gethin looks great too!

    'Angsty teen' You make me laugh Golddigga, I could just imagine na old person saying something like 'stop shouting' and then shaking their head, rolling their eyes and going 'Angsty teen' and a slight whisper. I think way too in to things, but Ricky Whittle is noob and needs to go away and rethink what sexy is if he thinks that pose is sexy. I well put too much in this comment but I dont mind :)

    If that's true then why use him for this campaign? It may not have been domestic violence but violence all the same
