The 'We Own The Night' singer has been given the accolade by animal rights charity PETA2.

The Wanted star Jay McGuiness has been named the sexiest male vegetarian celebrity in the world.

The 'Walks Like Rihanna' singer was named recipient of the accolade by PETA2 this week, the US division of the animal rights charity.

Jay has been honoured by the charity by being named the Sexiest Male Vegetarian Celebrity, beating off competition from fellow famous vegetarians including Thirty Seconds To Mars' Jared Leto and UK comedian Russell Brand.

The Wanted recently enjoyed huge chart success on the Vodafone Big Top 40 with their latest single 'We Own The Night', fresh from unveiling the song's party-themed music video two weeks ago.
