The former rugby player, whose career was cut short by a serious injury in 2010, showed off his rippling physique on a recent trip to Portugal with friends.

Posting several pictures to his Instagram account, Thom proved that he hasn’t let anything slip since giving up playing professional rugby.

Posing on a motorbike and by the pool, Kelly Brook’s former flame certainly set pulses racing with the muscular pictures, sure to become screen-savers everywhere.

‘Rocking out the #budgysmugglers with the Blair brothers’ Thom wrote on one photo of him and pals on the beach.

In another snap, the star enjoyed dinner with his older brother, Max, who is the spitting image of the former sportsman.

Sometimes life just isn’t fair, is it?
