It’s time to cast your vote to choose the sexiest man in Wales.

And, as we’ve been researching which fab fellas deserve a place on the much talked-about list, we are certainly spoilt for choice when it comes to successful, sassy men who ooze charm and sophistication.

Last year, Welsh rugby star Leigh Halfpenny was the winner, but he faces stiff competition this year with the likes of Games of Thrones actor Iwan Rheon, TV presenter Matt Johnson and explorer Richard Parks all getting a place in our top 10.

Welsh rugby star George North tackles model footballer Aaron Ramsey, while Waterloo Road star Richard Mylan battles with Downton Abbey’s Tom Cullen and Dracula Untold A-lister Luke Evans, who has proved his worth when it comes to being one of Hollywood’s busiest stars.

But who wins is entirely up to YOU.

You have from now until noon on Thursday to cast your vote and we will reveal the winner – and the 49 others who made the top 50 – on Saturday, November 8.

So, what are you waiting for?

If you need some help before casting your vote, here's a reminder of how wonderful these Welsh blokes are.

AARON RAMSEY

He’s the Welsh and Arsenal footballer, newly married to bride Colleen, and with model looks to boot. Signed with Elite model agency, the Caerphilly boy has proved he’s just as hot on the catwalk as on the pitch.

MATT JOHNSON

He’s worked up the ranks in network TV and is now a firm favourite with both the viewers and the ladies. Often linked with beautiful ladies, he loves nothing more than coming back to his Caerphilly home to visit his mam.

LEIGH HALFPENNY

Last year’s winner, Leigh was modest at winning the accolade of Wales’ sexiest man when he was quizzed about it at the Sport Personality of the Year awards, in which he came second.

RICHARD PARKS

What’s not to love about this rugby player turned explorer? He became the first person to conquer the highest mountain on each of the world’s seven continents and stand on all three poles within seven months in his 737 Challenge. And then he became the fastest Brit in history to ski solo and unsupported from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole.

GEORGE NORTH

There’s not much about this statuesque rugby player we don’t like. He’s 6ft 4in worth of muscle and magic when it comes to playing for Wales and Northampton Saints. Cyclist girlfriend Becky James is certainly one lucky girl.

JAY JAMES PICTON

We spotted his talent way before the X Factor judges did and so proud that he is now flying the flag for Wales on the live shows. And that’s all the more impressive considering he hadn’t sung a note until leaving the army seven years ago.

TOM CULLEN

Swoon. No more words are necessary about this Aberystywth-born Downtown Abbey star who played Lord Anthony Gillingham.

LUKE EVANS

This has definitely been a good year for Dracula Untold star Luke Evans and thank heavens for that. The 35-year-old has starred in the Raven, The Three Musketeers and Fast and Furious 6 and is very busy, but, he revealed to WalesOnline recently, he always makes time for his nan. Quite right too.

RICHARD MYLAN

The dark-haired actor, originally from Swansea, has found quite a few fans thanks to his role as deputy headteacher Mr Lowsley in Waterloo Road. Also a proud dad to son Jaco, he recently revealed he is planning to marry make-up artist Tammie Dineen, who he met on set.

IWAN RHEON

The Carmarthen actor plays Ramsey Snow in the Games of Thrones whose hobbies are flaying enemies, hunting civilians with dogs, and brainwashing! He also starred alongside Lacey Turner in Our Girl, and is fast becoming one of the UK’s hottest acting properties.
