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...? ?

Jane Asher, who has the good fortune to look like Mrs. Grumppa.

Callistemon Sat 18-Apr-20 11:15:30

Yes, Alistair Appleton is gay. He is very scrummy, those dimples add to his charm.

Sam Neill (without that moustache)
Amongst others who would have to queue.

Sparklefizz Sat 18-Apr-20 11:17:59

Oooh, Scott Walker when he was young .... and that wonderful voice.

Jewelswalk Sat 18-Apr-20 11:43:03

Am I the only one who hasn't heard of a lot of these?

Another vote for Gibbs
And Trevor Eve from waking the dead and shoestring many years ago

Does it really matter if our celeb crushes are gay? We don't stand a chance in hell of actually bedding them in any case! grin

Yes grin

GabriellaG54 Sat 18-Apr-20 14:38:23

Oh yesss!! I do mean MrX Lucca ??
Not for his looks but the power and intrigue.

Callistemon Sat 18-Apr-20 14:46:46

Isn't it a good thing we don't all vote fr the same ones!
As in RL of course.

Although, Discogran, I agree that Stephen Mangan has a certain mischievous charm

Just re-watched The Missing and was reminded of my crush on Tchéky Karyo

I find him captivating.

Callistemon Sat 18-Apr-20 15:04:05

Kim Bodnia, he has that je ne sais quoi

EllanVannin Sat 18-Apr-20 15:10:24

Martin Freeman.
David Ornstein-----his cheeky smile is captivating.
John Malkovich---interesting character.

Oopsminty Sat 18-Apr-20 15:11:27

Kim Bodnia, he has that je ne sais quoi

He does, Callistemon!

Been watching him in Killing Eve

I also rather like Mark Carney

catladyuk Sat 18-Apr-20 15:45:53

oh dear, am i alone in this, Jose Mourinho anyone? Vlad too, (glad I'm not the only weird one who thinks he has that certain 'something' ) James Martin, David Essex (when he was younger) Leonard Cohen, also past crushes Dirk Bogarde and James Dean.

SirChenjin Sat 18-Apr-20 15:48:32

Susan Calman and the handsome Will from the Repair Shop.

SirChenjin Sat 18-Apr-20 15:54:18

Oh and Rufus Sewell ❤️ Will distracted me for a moment there.

Abe49 Sat 18-Apr-20 15:57:01

Well I’ve been faithful to Richard Gere since I first saw him in Officer and a gentleman years ago. Watched Pretty Woman again this week. Not much can keep me awake at that time but that did!

susieq3 Sat 18-Apr-20 22:21:15

Oh yes pudding123 James Martin for me every time. Can’t stop watching his cookery programmes.

NotAGran55 Sat 18-Apr-20 22:31:18

Chris Whitty !!!!! For lockdown . Eric Clapton for the rest of the time.

Lizbethann55 Sat 18-Apr-20 23:58:04

notagran55 I agree about Chris Whitty! There is a real sweetness with that amazing intellect which is most attractive. And watching him grow in confidence as he stands behind that microphone has been wonderful. Is he married? (Just asking for a friend!?)

Bathsheba Sun 19-Apr-20 06:06:57

Can’t believe no-one’s mentioned Hugh Jackman! Another for me is Martin Shaw, especially his Judge John Deed character. Greg Wallace is in the running too - can’t resist his amazing dimples!

NotAGran55 Sun 19-Apr-20 07:08:20

Lizbethann According to LinkedIn he isn’t married . I was
—stalking— concerned about him when he was ? , and just needed to check for his well-being ?

Kittye Sun 19-Apr-20 07:27:30

Bathsheba another one here for Hugh Jackman. Gorgeous sexy Idris Elba. But Michael Ball has to be my favourite ❤️❤️

Susie42 Sun 19-Apr-20 12:28:15

Dan Snow, great eye candy and intelligent as well.

Calendargirl Sun 19-Apr-20 13:19:22

I’m reading The Silkworm, and keep thinking about Cormoran Strike, and the actor who played him, Tom Burke?

Oh, he needed looking after, with his leg, and his dark hair, and his big, bear like build......

Why did Robin marry her awful fiancé, and not lovely Cormoran?
