Plymouth is an incredible place and the people are even better.
It's that time of year where the annual PlymouthLive Sexy List is back.
This year there were so many incredible people who prove beauty is not only skin-deep, which meant the list expanded quite a bit with kind-hearted, brave and confident locals.
In total, there are 65 men and 65 women, from Laira to Los Angeles, film stars to charity workers, footballers and mental health advocates, we've scoured the city to find Plymouth's sexiest souls.
The Sexy List isn't just about what's on the outside, it is about celebrating those who display bravery, confidence, kindness, ambition and pride, which truly defines the word 'sexy'.
Many of these men and women also help others get to their best self and some even went above and beyond during the lockdown.
The 2020 sexy list is compiled 130 individuals, made up of the humble and the famous, the young and the old - and it's likely you will know a few of them.
