24housing's pin-up boy is Heat magazine's Torso of the Year winner » Housing » 24dash.com

24housing magazine’s very own Steve Burton has won Heat’s Torso of the Year competition!

Steve had only been with the 24housing team a few weeks when colleague Annie Neesham spotted the competition in the best selling celebrity gossip magazine and suggested the 26-year-old from Birmingham enter.

Annie explained: “We already knew he had a chance after some topless pictures ‘accidentally’ circulated around the office!

“We took a picture of Steve – with 24housing magazine placed strategically in the background – and submitted it to Heat.”

Thanks to Annie’s PR campaign Steve sailed through the first round, got to the semis and through to the final, gaining quite a fan base in the process!

He is featured in Heat’s Christmas edition, which went on sale today.

24housing Editor Jane Gething-Lewis, said: “We’re all really pleased that Steve won, and feel that we had a part to play in his new-found fame, so we think we’re justified in claiming him as the 24housing pin-up!”

Steve said: “The girls at work entered me into the competition for a bit of fun on a Friday afternoon, so I never expected to have won, but I’m so pleased to have done so.

“It was an amazing feeling to have everybody so excited for me and I owe them a massive thank you for the votes – they even set up a Facebook group for me!”
