2GB’s Ray Hadley has been named Australia’s hottest radio hunk by readers of Bauer’s Take 5 magazine.

It puts a troubling 12 months behind for the 64-year-old radio veteran who’s been plagued by claims he bullied staffers and the arrest of his son, a policeman, on cocaine charges.

According to Take 5, some 11,5000 readers voted in this year’s poll that saw Dave Hughes take second spot and Triple M Melbourne’s Luke Darcy in third.

Take 5 editor Paul Merrill said: “The top 25 definitely shows that being ‘hot’ isn’t just about physical appearance – it includes voice, sense of humour and personality too. To his listeners, Ray is a guilty crush and every bit as sexy as hunky stars 40 years his junior.”
