The other evening I watched the final of Celebrity Best Home Cook, and found myself thinking, ‘he’s really rather cute’ about Ed Balls! I also find Chris Whitty strangely fascinating.
Is there anyone you secretly fancy?

I enjoy the crushes that sneak up and take you by surprise. smile
Tony Slattery was one of mine.

Oh Puzzler I forgot all about Monty Don while I was thinking about Matt Tebbutt!

How do you feel about a double date? Matt could be preparing a feast in the kitchen while Monty landscapes the garden ?

Adrian Dunbar.

Martin Shaw, he just gets better with age.

Grannybags Fri 19-Feb-21 21:21:27

Ooh yes, I forgot about Martin Shaw!

Adrian Dunbar and Tom Wilkinson ( the full monty)

I’ve recently been drawn to Stephen Mangan, lovely eyes, great body, great sense of humour, intelligent. Wonderful thick hair, hmmmm.
No snogging though, have reservations about those teeth.

I'm old enough to be his grandma but I think Will Kirk from The Repair Shop is lovely.

I prefer Captain Kirk? but only when he was about 40.

What a variety!
I still quite like Jude Law, even tho his hair is receding a bit.

Yes! Jude Law before his hair receded.

I must say I don’t fancy any old men.??

George Clarke from Amazing Spaces. Such a happy guy with a cracker of a smile.

Grannynannywanny you’re on!

The new chaser
I can't remember his name, he's Irish, and he's rather cute.

Snowbell Fri 19-Feb-21 22:20:50

I don't think Mark Bonnar (my favourite GLOG) or Douglas Henshall have been mentioned. If they're not available Robson Green, David Tennant or Michael Sheen will do nicely!

Oh yes, Monty Don and that other gardener, Adam somebody. And Boris is quite charming - OMG must keep my head down now.

Poor Tony Slattery. He was lovely. Then he wasn’t.
Is he still alive?

grandmajet Fri 19-Feb-21 22:52:57

Stop it now! Someone’s put Martin Shaw in my head and I need to go to sleep!

Jane43 Fri 19-Feb-21 22:53:25

Bryan Ferry and Martin Kemp.

JuneRose Fri 19-Feb-21 22:53:48

Nottooold .... Boris??? ?

JuneRose Fri 19-Feb-21 22:56:24

Martin Kemp ooh yes that white hair suits him, Gary Barlow is aging quite nicely as well.

hollysteers Fri 19-Feb-21 22:58:42

Tom Newton Dunn, journalist ??‍♀️

There was a BBC Horizon programme about him last year ‘What’s The Matter With Tony Slattery’. I think it’s on You Tube. Sadly he suffers badly from depression and drug addiction, I hardly recognised him.

MissAdventure Fri 19-Feb-21 23:00:19

I was just about to say the same.
He is a shell of the man he used to be, but then I'm probably a shell (a heavy one!) of the woman I was.

GrannyRose15 Fri 19-Feb-21 23:03:51

Peter Firth from Spooks - but I'll have to fight my sister for him.
Rege-Jean Page from Brigerton is absolutely gorgeous but I suppose he's too young for me.

MrsJeeves Fri 19-Feb-21 23:21:07

Yes to Monty Don, and for a long time, Neil Pearson, of Between the Lines and Drop the Dead Donkey, haven't seen him for a while.
