Australian actor Simon Baker has been named the sexiest man on US television.
TV Guide magazine announced that the star of hit show The Mentalist had beaten Grey's Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey who had been given the accolade for the past two years.
"My wife said to me this morning 'I could take a photo of you right now and they might take that title away from you'," Simon told the mag.
"That is the kind of encouragement I need as I go off to do a photo shoot about having to be sexy."
Simon plays investigator Patrick Jane on the crime drama series which airs on US network CBS.
"He is fun to play," Simon says of his character. "His sense of humour is in line with mine. It is a little bit subversive."
The other handsome hunks on TV Guide's 'sexiest' list included CSI's George Eads, Bones' David Boreanaz, True Blood's Ryan Kwanten and Matthew Settle from Gossip Girl.
