A new kiwi champion has been crowned. I'm of course talking about the Mr Bear New Zealand competition which took place at the Phoenix Cabaret on K Road in Auckland on Friday night.
Now you might be thinking to yourself we don't have bears here.
Well we're not talking about Grizzlies or Polar Bears here, in gay culture, a "bear" is used to affectionately describe a heavyset man with facial and body hair.
And for 2025 that man is Luke Bird who chats to Emile Donovan.
