Greeting us most mornings (and occasionally afternoons and evenings too), Lutalo Muhammad has become a nationwide favourite as the BBC's Taekwondo pundit at the Olympics.

You know you've made it when you type your name into google and you can see that everyone's been checking whether you've got a partner, wife or girlfriend. So, welcome to the big time Lutalo Muhammad, because searches for 'lutalo muhammad partner' 'lutalo muhammad wife' are going wild on google right now.

To be fair, a lot of the love for Lutalo, who has coached us through the highs and lows of the Taekwondo and Team GB's performance (several times getting narrowly pipped in the closing seconds of fights) has been down to his eloquence and the brilliant way he brings the sport to life, clearly knowing literally everyone involved. It's not aaaaalll been lovingly gazing at him...

Lutala made headlines this morning even more when he walked off set on his BBC pundit gig, because he was so devastated watching Team GB taekwondo athlete Bianca Walkden get beat.

Lutalo is the most successful male in British taekwondo history. He represented Great Britain at the 2012 Olympics, winning a bronze medal, and the 2016 Olympics, winning a silver medal. He won the gold medal in the −87 kg class at the 2012 European Taekwondo Championships too.

But now, the love for him is running deep and social media is calling on him to continue his punditry in different sport... or just on all the TV shows in general. Did someone say PERFECT STRICTLY CONTESTANT??

Some want him to just be their life coach in general... or even get his own series of stories on the CALM app, which we are also very much into. He's definitely got to be in the running for a CBeebies Bedtime Story, no?

You can follow Lutalo on Instagram and Twitter, should pics like this be what you're after... Or also insightful commentary.

While we are unable to ascertain if Lutalo has a partner (we're SORRY!) we've found out that he'd say his one thing you didn't know about him is... 'I love reading, I suppose you could say I’m a book worm.' That... any help?
