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?

Chris Falkes for me, one look into the camera with those twinkling eyes and that's me all googly!! He is a descendant of Guy Falkes - I'll go the the cellars of Parliament with him any time!!

OK I'm old enough to be his granny, too!!

Alan Titchmarsh (if only)

James Martin, the chef, not only is he like a big cuddly bear, he can cook!

Oh, and Rod Stewart, anywhere, any time!

Certainly not Ed Balls - he always looks so smug. But Michael Ball is my secret crush - that lovely smile with dimples, and gorgeous curly hair that I would love to run my fingers through.

*Lemongrove*, ‘who’s Laura’.
I am mortally wounded

I’m so sorry. You seem entwined in my muddled brain. If you can call it a brain. My fault entirely.

Not Ed Balls, Aepgirl! Not even with gangnam style!

? sounds like it’ll be handbags at dawn then, several of us battling for the same men.
For me it’s James Martin, Matt Tebbit and Rick Stein
Also a long-standing thing for Ian McShane
My not so secret crush is a friend of my children’s and I’m teased unmercifully by them and my very long suffering husband. Chap in question is a tree surgeon and watching him scrambling about in the trees has kept me entertained for many years.

Tom Hiddleston. Chris Hemsworth. Adam Driver. They'd be lovely toy boys!

Thierry Henri for me

I feel I must be odd...I don't have a crush on anyone....

Aidan Turner
Jason Isaacs
Rufus Sewell
Professor Noel Fitzpatrick - I’m reading his first book at the moment. Some of the writing about how he was bullied at school is heartbreaking. Would love to meet him. He does so much good yet seems truly humble.

Captain Sparrow (not Johnny Depp, just Captain Sparrow)

I am so delighted to see that nobody has yet mentioned Tom Bradby. I bagsie him! I could watch him on the news all day long. smile

Frank Gardener for his lovely voice, French Fred from first dates, and I’d fight anyone for a hug from Will Kirk.

Well my very public crush is George Clooney, for obvious reasons (stunningly handsome!) but my secret crushes (which I take to mean not obviously fanciable men/women) :
Tom Hollander - twinkly eyes
Monty Don - so gentle and reassuring
David Olusoga - that gorgeous voice
Gilou from Spiral - real rough diamond and so tough

I have realised I must have a Hugh thing !
Hugh Jackman the best, Hugh Grant, Hugh Bonneville and Hugh Laurie is not bad.
So weird !

I've had my secret crush for 50 years! It's Merrill Osmond of The Osmonds. Although he's not really a secret as I see him several times a year in normal times and he knows me by name! He's absolutely gorgeous and he has a wicked twinkle in his eye as well as being able to sing like a dream ??

Definitely Rege-Jean Page - the man from the Bridgerton series, what a hunk!
