Is it just me, or does anyone else find George Osborne attractive?

Ever since the Cambridges touched down in Wellington two weeks ago, the Daily Mail has been running headline after headline about ‘gorgeous Prince George’. But there’s another George who caught my eye the other day.

Is it just me, or is the Chancellor looking a bit, well… dishy these days? He seems to have undergone the kind of makeover normally reserved for wives of party leaders. You know the ones I mean. New hairdo, new makeup, new wardrobe, and suddenly a whole new person emerges. I said dishy… perhaps what I meant is ‘for a chancellor’. He isn’t quite up there in the Ryan Gosling or Brad Pitt stakes of course, but he is definitely looking … well, I think my exact thought was ‘a bit Bear Gryllsy’.

I hear that George has been on the 5:2 diet recently, but it’s not just that. A new haircut (and colour as well, perhaps?), has made me see him in a whole new light.
