The Sexiest Reality TV Hosts: From Steve Jones to Nick Cannon to Ryan Seacrest

They're the men who bring a reality TV program together for us. They tell us what's happening in an episode, they interview the competitors and they keep the action moving. A good idea for a reality show isn't complete until it finds the right host, and its even better when that host is a sexy man who can charm us with his looks and his personality. Here are some of the sexy reality show hosts who have most grabbed our attention.

Steve Jones, The X-Factor

Steve Jones may be a familiar face to UK viewers, but audiences in the U.S. are just starting to get to know him thanks to Fox's version of The X-Factor. The tall, dark and handsome Welsh presenter isn't shy about showing off his body, like when he re-created Daniel Radcliffe's Equus photos. He is also very welcoming to his gay fans, having discussed his willingness to film a gay love scene, the time a game of spin the bottle led to him kissing another guy... and let's not forget the time he surprised Scissor Sisters frontman Jake Shears with a kiss.

Phil Keoghan, The Amazing Race

Ever since The Amazing Race debuted in 2001, we've watched the New Zealand-born Phil Keoghan stand in one exotic location after another as he explains what kind of challenges the teams will face, and then greets them at the finish line with his expressive eyebrows. He also has gone adventuring on his own, as he decided to live life to its fullest after a near-death experience, a life lesson he tries to share with others. He's also not adverse to stripping down to his undies.

Ty Pennington, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

We first met the energetic Ty Pennington as a part of the Trading Spaces team where he quickly won fans thanks to his energy, as well as his sense of humor. That quickly led to Pennington becoming the adorable face of the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition team where his compassion made for moving moments between Pennington and the families helped by the feel-good reality show. Pennington's good deeds aren't just on his hit reality show; he also spends a lot of his off-camera time working to highlight and raise money for various charities, a quality that makes him even sexier.

Jeff Probst, Survivor

As host of Survivor, we're pretty accustomed to seeing the ruggedly-handsome Jeff Probst in lush locations that have barely been touched by humans. We also know Probst can be a tough interviewer, as on Survivor he regularly gets contestants to admit things they'd rather keep to themselves.
