Mr England organisers' fears of a national "hunk shortage" have eased following a surge of applications.
Mr England needs applicants
The pageant enlisted the services of Miss England Milla Magee to appeal for men to come forward for the chance to represent their country as Mr World, and in just over a week, 100 males have signed up.
However, the competition is desperately seeking younger entrants between the ages of 17-27 as they've mainly received entry forms from older men.
Organiser Angie Beasley told the Daily Star newspaper: "We have had a surge of entries in the past week but its mainly the older generation that are entering.
"A contestant age 67 entered which is slightly over the entry age for Mr World but its good to see the applications coming through now.
"Entry age for Mr England this year is 17-41 as we are sending winners to both Mr World in Vietnam which takes place in September and Mr International in December in Thailand.
"So both winners will get to travel afar this year."
