On Radio Southern Counties last night this was the question posed to the listeners, there were some very funny answers.

Was your first crush a film star and did you put their photo up on the wall ? I can’t remember his name but I had a cowboy from Laramie on my wall.

Was it the papergirl or boy or someone at school?

Marc Bolan was mine, although I was only around 9 or 10.

Clint Eastwood from Rawhide and the chap from 10cc/Mindbenders whose name escapes me.
I also liked the young chap in Whirlybirds....

Although I liked most of those already mentioned my first big crush was Dirk Bogarde (well I didn’t know he was gay then did I?)
But also Adam and Elvis ohhh-er

I had a photo of Gil Favour ( again from Laramie) on my wall. I was about 14 I think. My most serious crush was on a teacher at art school. I still think about him, although I heard he died recently.

Couldn't decide between Donny O and David Essex.
Or the boy next door who won all my marbles.

Steve Ellis from Love Affair, not just his looks, that voice.

Here`s my above mentioned hero.

The ITN newscaster Huw Thomas. I fell for him when I was 14, decided I was going to London when I was 20 to marry him............then when I was about 16 he got married, how could he? I still worshipped him for many years, even after he retired from TV.

Billy Whitehead - we were five years old playing 'kiss chase' in the playground and I thought he was the most beautiful boy in the world; so much so that here I am sixty years later and I have never forgotten him. We moved house when I was seven and I never saw him again.

He is just a boy, Gilly .?

gillybob Tue 07-Aug-18 23:34:58

Well I’m sticking with Donny O. He’s still absolutely gorgeous and has only got better looking with age.

Marydoll Tue 07-Aug-18 23:34:07

We seem to like the men.?

Chewbacca Tue 07-Aug-18 23:32:00

Me too! But Clint Eastwood was gorgeous from being young to quite recent too. Hmmm! Decisions, decisions!

Marydoll Tue 07-Aug-18 23:29:37

Oh, I agree about Gregory Peck.

gillybob Tue 07-Aug-18 23:27:17

Now I’ve heard of him Flexiblefriend.

Adam Faith

and a permanent dribble of snot.

He sounds a real catch MaizieD! grin

MiniMoon, thanks for reminding me about Simon Forester of Emergency Ward 10. I couldn't take my eyes off him. Then there was Dr Findlay whom I fancied hugely. My sister and I saw him (Bill Simpson) on a train once but couldn't pluck up the courage to speak to him - what a wasted opportunity!

Allygran1 Tue 07-Aug-18 23:13:43

Gregory Peck without a doubt!

Eglantine21 Tue 07-Aug-18 23:12:59

Michael Landon. Little Joe in Bonanza.

Wow Gilly, you’re YOUNG!

Barberdice Tue 07-Aug-18 23:11:33

Talking of famous people, I always fancied David McCallum from Man from Uncle. Most people fancied the other one, Robert Vaughan.

gillybob Tue 07-Aug-18 23:07:22

Oh dear I haven’t heard of any of these people shock dare I say they must’ve been before my time?

My first ever crush was Donny Osmond. smile ♥️

MaizieD Tue 07-Aug-18 23:00:46

Raymond. We were in the equivalent of Y1 at school and he sat next to me. He had dark brown hair and big brown eyes and a permanent dribble of snot. We were parted the next year when we were streamed; I went into A stream and he into B stream and we never met again...

Ty Hardin - Bronco Lane, I think.

My sister and I both used to lust after David Attenborough. Remember him in his khaki shorts in the Zoo Quest programmes?
Then I moved on to my biology teacher who was fresh out of university and only a few years older than I. Oh, the thrill when he helped me disect my dogfish!
