Liz Truss has resigned as Prime Minister outside 10 Downing Street today - but many viewers were concerned about the whereabouts of 'Hot Podium Guy'. The Prime Minister delivered her official farewell following a calamitous 24 hours for her premiership, which saw a Cabinet minister resign and an open revolt in the Commons.
Just like with Boris Johnson's public goodbye only months earlier, fans of sound engineer 'Hot Podium Guy' expected to see him make another cameo on national TV, sporting his usual black t-shirt and black jeans combo. But instead, two other men were seen deployed for the job, with a few other women getting the wooden lectern in place outside No 10 in a flurry.
Tobias Gough, 39, from Longfield, Kent, first became known as 'Hot Podium Guy' after Twitter users started swooning over his appearance before Theresa May's resignation speech back in 2019. Since then, he's gained an army of adoring fans who watch him in action in delight.
