He may be handsome, wealthy, talented and one of the world’s most eligible bachelors but, according to Olivia Lee, Hollywood star George Clooney really needs to man up.

The former Balls of Steel prankster is hosting an upcoming male makeover show on FOX called Man Up, in which a group of hapless British under-achievers are coached and cajoled into upping their game in terms of their home, work and romantic lives.

Asked who from the world of celebrities might need to take a cue from her new series and man up, Olivia pointed the finger at the 52-year old American actor, whose love life is the subject of constant press speculation.

"If I had to take a guess at who might need to man up the most, I'd say George Clooney," joked Olivia. "What's all this business about not wanting to settle down and get married? Sounds like a massive commitment-phobe with emotional baggage if you ask me. He just needs to man up – if you like it, put a ring on it George!"
