The 'Made in Chelsea' hunk and the former 'Only Way Is Essex' star have joined a long list of hopefuls - that also includes sports personalities Thom Evans, Robbie Savage and Denise Lewis and former 'EastEnders' actor Shaun Williamson - auditioning to take on the iconic role.

The celebrities all donned the traditional black polo neck and took on various challenges to see if they would be worthy of the coveted position.

Footage from the bootcamp sees the potential recruits being put through their paces by current Milk Tray Man James Coombes and his female counterpart Kelly Brennan.

James said: "I had the job of scrutinising each applicant to see if they were the right fit. While it seems the candidates can all pose in character, and some could even take on adventurous stunts, I'm not sure we've found our winner. It's such a difficult role as now it isn't just about action; we want to find someone who really has that thoughtful and caring side to them."

So, despite hours of gruelling challenges it seems the search is still very much on. If you fancy yourself as the next Milk Tray Man... or know someone that is thoughtful, caring and daring who could be right for the job, apply at: www.newmilktrayman.com
