Normal People heartthrob Paul Mescal has become an unlikely hit on a foot fetish website.

The 24-year-old, who plays male lead Connell in the racy drama, has gained a legion of fans around the world since the series dropped at the end of last month.

An Instagram account dedicated to the chain that Mescal's character wears throughout the show has more than 158,000 followers, and now lustful fans have turned their attentions to his feet.

The actor has a bizarre rating of 5.42/5 on the WikiFeet website, which is described as "a photo-sharing foot fetish website dedicated to sharing photos of celebrities' feet".

Alongside Mescal's profile, which reveals he has size 10 feet, are pictures that accentuate his bare feet - including one which shows him doing a frog stand to the sounds of Joni Mitchell's 'Big Yellow Taxi'.

Mescal recently revealed that he is single and eager to get dating once the coronavirus lockdown ends.
