Lee's ass is his best part, but I think he's OK looking by EE "hunk" standards. Most EE "hunks" of recent years have oddly shrunken or misshapen heads and odd faces that reminds me of Potato Heads slapped together right before taping - Tyler Moon being the one who distracted me most there (the only time this look worked for me was poor Kieron on HO). And they're all very Identikit - Callum Monks, Anthony Moon, Joey Branning, etc. Lee is very slightly different, which by DTC standards is a bold risk.
I agree that he's not sexy, especially compared to Corrie, but sexually desirable men is another DTC no-no, so I can't really single him out.
