A JEOPARDY! game show contestant who dazzled with his blue eyes and stunning smile has scooped the title of America's "hot priest."
Viewers of the US quiz show couldn't take their eyes off the screen as Father Steve Jakubowski prepared to tackle the general knowledge clues.
Yet they were glued to the screen not particularly because of his quiz skills - which saw him finish in third place in Final Jeopardy - but due to his appearance.
The Catholic priest, born in Michigan, arrived on-set in his all-black uniform.
He was quick to flash a smile at his co-stars and cut a smart yet rugged figure with a moustache and stubbly beard.
Father Steve's brunette locks were kept close-cut at the sides with volume at the top - leaving fans online to gush over his "very handsome" appearance.
One took to X to remark: "Ummmm…. Hello Father Steve," as a second admitted: "Father Steve is so handsome."
A third put: "Omg father Steve is so enjoyable to watch he's so happy to be there."
One then joked: "I am an atheist but I would def consider becoming a Catholic for Father Steve."
Another compared him to The Priest on BBC comedy Fleabag, dubbed by fans as The Hot Priest.
In the series, he is played by actor Andrew Scott.
Unlike a typical Priest, he drinks and swears, and show protagonist Fleabag has a flirty friendship with him.
The Jeopardy! viewer was quick to raw parallels with the character and quiz star and confessed on X: "Living for this hot priest on #Jeopardy that Ken [Jennings, presenter] has to call Father Steve every time."
Viewers came to learn how Father Steve graduated from Catholic Central High School before heading to Notre Dame.
He entered the seminary after his graduation.
He then joked how being a Catholic priest was more stressful than his stint on the TV show, which saw him walk away with just £74.
