Introducing Jack Watkins, a butler in the buff at boss Jordan Reed's nightclub. We're informed that within minutes of his introduction in the premiere "he has the girls licking vodka shots off his six pack and scrawling their mobile numbers on his ripped abs". Blimey.

A male stripper has joined the cast of 'The Valleys'. Jack Watkins, 24, will star in the upcoming third series of the MTV show - which is due to return on February 25 - and he is planning to cause chaos between Natalee, who he already knows through drinking in the pub she used to work at, and her boyfriend Anthony.
