You all seemed to LOVE yesterday's challenge so much we thought today we'd suggest clearing the garage. grin Just kidding.

Today, we want to hear who your celeb crush might be...? ?

Excuse me GabriellaG54 but I think you'll find Dr Hilary has quite a following. He has become the nations number one coronavirus pin-up doctor! He has always been a looker and still looks great at 67 years.

I dont really notice other men,I'm very odd that way according to my best friend.I do think Hugh Quarshie from Holby has a beautiful smile ,it lights up his face and always comment on it to my OH who agrees with me .

Too mature to have crushes, but admit Tom Hollander, Colin Forth and Niel Pearson are rather gorgeous. As a teenager I was mad about Sean Connery. I knew the late Shashi Kapoor, he was drop dead gorgeous and utterly charming. I adored him. He was so sad after the death of his lovely wife Jennifer Kendal, Felicity's sister.

Dr Hilary is lovely, I agree. He looks different lately though. Has he had a little lift or a few tweaks? Not judging, just saying.

Agree about Claus Bang and Stephen Mangan.
Both with lovely dark hair and bit naughty!

I’m not sure Alastair Appleton would be quite the perfect lockdown companion. On the other hand the charming Jules Hudson would be rather nice.

Adam Frost!

Robson Green without a shadow of doubt! I watched Tales From The Coast on ITV 8pm on Tuesday. Robson had camped out overnight and stripped to the waist to shave, Oh Man! He is FIT!

DiscoGran Fri 17-Apr-20 10:46:09

Rosieroe ? Very diplomatic!

SillyNanny321 Fri 17-Apr-20 10:49:39

GIbbs from NCIS

Chestnut
Different strokes for different folks.
His sartorial standards are not 100%
A bit bland too but good that he has his supporters.

Annifrance! You’re NEVER too old to have a crush. My earliest ones were Dirk Bogarde, Kenneth More and Peter Finch. Nowadays it’s Rufus Sewell. Well, with an odd mixture of men like that, I can’t be accused of “ having a type” !

Craftycat Fri 17-Apr-20 10:52:39

I've never managed to decide between Mick Jagger & Clint Eastwood ( only as the man with no name though!)

And I hate to tell you TerriBull but he is as gay as a daffodil!

Commander Steve McGarrett from Hawaii Five-0 ? he can come and arrest me anytime .....

LaraGransnet (GNHQ) Fri 17-Apr-20 10:56:39

Oh yes, Terribull! The Hot Priest is VERY popular here at GNHQ. And we were very disappointed to find out we didn't have a chance with him. sad
I saw him perform at the Old Vic last year and can confirm even the top of his head is sexy (terrible seats). grin

Claus Bang and the actor who plays Gabriel in The Good Karma Hospital.

MadGrandma Fri 17-Apr-20 11:05:21

It would have to be Alex O'Loughlin, who played Steve McGarrett in the remake of Hawaii5-0. He's a real hottie, even if he is about the same age as my daughter! Such a great actor who has displayed so much emotion in his part, I will be sorry to see this season end (CBS has now confirmed that there will not be another season). Still I have the dvds and can watch and live in Hawaii through them!

Aepgirl Fri 17-Apr-20 11:08:58

Richard Gere.

BBkay Fri 17-Apr-20 11:15:09

Cary Grant, Jack Hawkins (his voice ❤️) butLee Van Cleef has to be the sexiest

Sputnik Fri 17-Apr-20 11:17:23

Cillian Murphy is the one for me, at 65 I thought I was too old for crushes but then I watched Peaky Blinders and fell in love! He's also in Inception and The Edge of Love and a whole lot more. He's perfect!

Theoddbird Fri 17-Apr-20 11:20:33

I don't have one....

missdeke Fri 17-Apr-20 11:21:12

Alexander Skarsgard, or even his dad Stellan. or Sam Heughan...

BlueSky Fri 17-Apr-20 11:24:13

Well it's got to be Dr Gabriel Varma, Good Karma Hospital! blush

FindingNemo15 Fri 17-Apr-20 11:26:57

David Essex cor. Patrick Swayzee what a dish and Martin Shaw who is patron of a fantastic animal rescue home in Norfolk that I support.

Framilode Fri 17-Apr-20 11:28:26

I think Dr Hilary has probably had a few tweaks. I used to have the same hairdresser, years ago, and she said he was very vain.
