Luke was then met by a 'media representative', who told him he needed to demonstrate his "playful" and "sensitive" side. He was then required to take part in a test calendar shoot, where he posed with a variety of seasonal props for his "sultry" calendar, before rounding up a number of his housemates for a test run of a potential workout DVD.
