Who was your first crush?

Davy Jones from The Monkees. I spent a whole weeks pocket money on a Fab 208 magazine with a centrefold poster inside. I had the single Day Dream Believer and I played it over and over again just so I could listen to his speaking voice at the begining. Okay, don't get excited man, it's 'cause I'm short, I know.........

Paul McCartney, I had a centre page picture on my wall, I used to kiss it goodnight every night, despite him having a cigarette between his lips

I was about 7 and watched him playing the piano on the telly, looking at the camera with his big cheesy grin. I told my Mum I wanted to marry him when I grew up. Phew. Lucky escape. I then upped my game to Richard Chamberlain, who of course is gay, only I didn't know that nor what it meant if I had done. ?

Paul McCartney.

Later I did fall for Cliff Richard, and later Paul McCartney. I was also a big fan of David Attenborough (still am!). But my daughter thinks it's hilarious that I put in my diary around 1960 'Saw D Attenborough on TV. He's gorgeous! ' !!!

Richard Chamberlain - Dr Kildare.

Paul McCartney; still is my crush. I was sad that I was too young for him, but Nancy is younger than me! (Not bitter..)

I suppose it would be unwise to comment disbelievingly on other people’s crushes, but Paul McCartney??? OK, I know a lot of people did have a crush on him, but I just don’t get it. Nor Elvis, who I thought revolting but (unintentionally) rather funny.

I think Elvis IMO was God’s gift to women ☺️ What a handsome man. I must admit in his porky era not so good, but his singing was sublime. ?

Claire Bloom at the Old Vic.

Mine were David Essex, and also David Paton of Pilot. I even joined Pilot's fan club when I was about 13 or 14 - the only fan club I ever joined!

Paul M in his heyday had boyish good looks and when he leaned into the microphone with John and went 'ooo' I went weak at the knees. I don5t fancy him at all now, he has not aged well and should give up singing!!

Nope not Clint Eastwood.

my first crush was also Ty Hardin. I somehow acquired a glossy photo of him, which I kissed every night before I went to bed. Now, I can't remember which American TV western he was in. I would enjoy watching one or two episodes if they are repeated on TV nowadays. My mother had a bit of a crush on the father in Bonanza, around the same time!

Paul Newman for me, those blue eyes .........

Ty Hardin played Bronco Laine in the series 'Bronco'. I think he died recently.

I cannot remember ever having a crush on any singer or actor. I certainly never had any pictures on my wall.

I preferred Adam Faith to Cliff Richard and Mick Jagger to any of the Beetles, but never got beyond that.

Celebrities I had a few - my bedroom wall had pictures of Amen Corner, The Small Faces, The Monkees all taken from the centre fold of some magazine - I don't think I read Jackie so I don't know where I got them from. In real life it was the paper boy who was a couple of years older than me - I used to stand on the window seat in our flat (I lived above a shop) and wait from him to appear round the corner on his bike. Funnily enough I finally went out with his friend and went right off him I also had a huge crush on my other half when we were 13 - he was the typical bad boy in the class always in trouble, never wore a uniform and got sent to the head every day for not getting his hair cut. He wasn't interested back then but 2 years later we ended up together by chance - that was nearly 50 years ago - gulp!!

Oh I loved Adam Faith, my friend and I were potty about him. Many years later I remember going out to a very posh restaurant for dinner one evening and someone saying that he had died that day. Although I was a lot older then it quite spoilt my evening.

The very earliest? The older girl who rescued me from being bullied in the playground at Parkway Primary School. But if I ever did know her name I've forgotten it!

I later graduated to - Dan Dare in the Eagle.....

My first crush - at 12 or 13? - was my English teacher, a Mr. Lawton. I can still see his lovely, handsome face ... He made a 'pet' of me, because I always came top in English. (Or did I always come top, because he made a pet of me??? Looking back, I think that this was probably the case.) He wanted me to stay on at school to take my O-level English, but no, I had to leave at 15 to get out to work! (I eventually passed my A-levels in English Language and Literature.)

I'm now a writer, playwright and poet. I've had plays broadcast on Radio 4, stage plays in Stratford-on-Avon and locally, stories published in magazines, and have recently published a poetry book. (Not blowing my own trumpet, of course! Well, somebody has to!) And all down to a crush on my wonderful English teacher, I think ...?

Thank you, Mr. Lawton, wherever you are now. Still a little bit in love with you ...

Rowdy Yates for me, too.
However I finally went right off him years ago - he'd been due to come to the UK for something or other but the eternal 'tough guy' was scared off by some terrorist action here - too chicken to get on a plane!

Ah yes. Also Adam Cartwright in Bonanza.
At school I had a crush on a prefect - and when I refused to go outside at lunch time [it was freezing] and he gave me a detention, I was thrilled to bits!!!!!

Adam Faith. My mother Always swore that my first husband looked much like him but I couldn't see it. Sorry he died.

Jess Conrad ( swoon)
However, saw him and his wife on Escape To The Country about ten years ago, what a pompous podgy pair!
