ETTC: Ian 'H' Watkins searches for property with husband
BBC viewers were all left saying the same thing just minutes into the Christmas celebrity special of Escape to the Country.
On Monday (December 30), Denise Nurse returned to the helm for a festive edition which saw some familiar faces step into the world of real estate.
Tonight, former Steps star H - who's real name is Ian Watkins - was joined by his loving husband Craig Ryder as they embarked on a quest to find their forever home.
It didn't take long before fans started to swoon over the singer's rarely seen partner, as they flooded to X - formerly known as Twitter - to comment on the star’s dashing good looks.
One user gushed: “H's husband is fit [two fire emojis]. Lucky ba**ard" as another agreed: "Just switched on Escape to the Country. H from Stephs is on. Thought his husband was his son [heart-eyes emoji] #escapetothecountry."

But fans attention was quickly turned towards the show being “a waste of time” as celebrities rarely make an offer on the homes.
“Here we go more time wasting. H will be on any tv show that will have him. It’s a safe bet that he ain’t gonna buy anything. Just window shopping.”
Another echoed: "H and his partner are never going to buy any property on #escapetothecountry his agent could only find this show for H to get him on screen."
Another echoed: “First time I’ve watched #escapetothecountry in ages and guess what they don’t put an offer in any of them! Another hour I won’t get back.”
More believed the celeb just appear for the fee and havo no intention of buying a house.
"Caught a bit of the celeb #escapetothecountry just now; all guests are doing it for the appearance fee. If they wanted to splash a million on a house they’d do it away from the telly cameras," and "Great...great....great.....let's buy it.... "Well what do you think?"...Mmm....maybe none of them???....or am I mistaken...."

In another recent star-studded feature, Olympian Linford Christie and his daughter Briannah joined host Alistair Appleton as they searched for their dream property in the Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire countryside.
Their goal being a home that can accomodate their whole family paired with the sports stars wealth meant the budget was sky-high.
The duo wanted to find a property within the £2million mark, which viewers found 'obscene' as they argued there 'doesn't need to be a celebrity version' of the programme.
Other celebs set to grace the second season of the show include musical legend Alfie Boe, Countryfile's Anita Rani, pop sensation H from Steps, Loose Women's Kaye Adams, and The Apprentice winner Tim Campbell.
Rushing to X to express their outrage, fans wrote: '£2 million budget. P*** off BBC, the regular rich t***s with £750K+ are bad enough! #escapetothecountry #celebrityescapetothecountry.'
