Ricky Whittle doesn't think he's hunky.
"It's flattering to be called a hunk bit I just think we have fantastic make-up artists. After nights out we look like a sack of spuds!
The 'Hollyoaks' actor - who plays muscular ex-policeman Calvin Valentine - doesn't believe he is attractive and thanks the Channel 4 show's make-up artists and regular gym sessions for making him look good on screen.
He explained: "It's flattering to be called a hunk bit I just think we have fantastic make-up artists. After nights out we look like a sack of spuds!
"I don't eat veg, fruit, eggs or fish. I eat takeaways... I go to the gym so I can eat what I want!"
The 27-year-old star - who is dating his co-star Carley Stenson, who plays Steph Dean - also admitted he loves nothing more than playing charity football matches with his TV colleagues when they get a weekend off filming.
He said: "We play a lot for charity all over the country. We travel down on the Saturday, get wasted then try to hold it together for the match on Sunday."
