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?

Tom Hardy and Hugh Jackman ??

WendyBT Sat 20-Feb-21 11:29:48

Yes, I could go for Will.

Age doesn't come into it . None of us Grans are going to have a crush on people our own age, and vice versa.

I rather fancy Jamie Dornan from Fifty shades of Grey.

I'm head over heels in lust with the gorgeous, charming, funny, tall, educated, intelligent Patrick Grant from GB Sewing Bee.
He's everything and more I want in a man and the best thing? He'd never rule out dating a fan! Yay!!

Chris Packham is rather nice.

Tibbs Sat 20-Feb-21 11:32:45

Theo James from Sanditon

Martin Shaw or Michael Dorn (Worf in Star Trek).
Mature with a certain Je ne sais quoi. smile

It has to be Gary Barlow. Not a secret everyone who knows me knows. Lol

I agree, Will Kirk is lovely.

Rufus Sewell, Ioan Gruffyd, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Philippe Duclos - fairly eclectic tastes.

Totally age inappropriate but has to be Adam Lambert. OMG. He’s GORGEOUS! Have seen him loads of times fronting Queen, seen him solo, met him, had pics taken with him. He is gorgeous in the flesh too. Just flawless ! Closely followed by Bruce Springsteen. Have travelled extensively to see him and on stage he is mesmerising. And where is the queue for Rufus Sewell. First saw him many years ago in a film called Dangerous Beauty. Rufus and the beautiful backdrop of Venice. Whats not to love?And he definitely improves with age. Did you see him in Victoria????? “At my age” as Harry Enfield would say

Oooh. And forgot Phil Glenister.!! As Gene Hunt he was great!! Mad Dogs? Delicious. And- at my work colleagues’ request- he sent me a Get well signed photo when I was having chemo. Love him.

blondenana Sat 20-Feb-21 12:48:01

Pierce Brosnan, and Michael Ball.mmm

Colin Firth and Keanu Reeves are my two long time crushes... and my husband is well aware!! grin

Mine has always been Mick Jagger, however lately I am starting to like Foyle out of Foyles War. I love his expressions and the way he gently puts people in their place.

I have one or two and they are not actors or stars.

Say no more as after all they are secret crushes and if I tell then they are no longer my little secrets.
A lady never kisses and tells. Ha Ha.

jenni123 Sat 20-Feb-21 14:15:43

Pantglas2 I'm with you on Denzel Washington, also Patrick Stewart. my all time crush is/was Elvis since I was 14, now 79. another I really loved who is no longer with us was George Michael such a kind man.

Some time ago when Mark Foster (Olympic Swimmer) was on 'Strictly' I had quite a crush on him! But these days it's got to be Will Kirk, he's gorgeous, and has such a lovely nature.

Sarnia Sat 20-Feb-21 14:20:37

Clint Eastwood has long been a favourite of mine. Whenever I mention this to my grandchildren they make the observation that he is very wrinkly. Well, so am I!

Alioop Sat 20-Feb-21 14:21:04

Oh Hobbs1 in total agreement, Tom Hardy. He's also a dog lover like me. Swoon!!!

Alioop Sat 20-Feb-21 14:22:16

Jamie Redknapp too! Those eyes.....

Notinthemanual Sat 20-Feb-21 14:28:42

Did knspol nod off on her keyboard?

gulligranny Sat 20-Feb-21 14:28:51

I have a bit of a thing for Steve Fletcher on Repair Shop. The twinkly eyes, the nimble fingers, the two pairs of glasses on top of his head ....

But if we are just talking drop-dead gorgeous Adrian Lester has always got me hot under the collar, as has David McCallum. And Rudolf Nureyev. And Yul Brynner.

Janiepops Sat 20-Feb-21 14:32:59

Firstly, in this fantasy, I look like Bo Derek!
Killian Murphy ( peaky blinders)
Chris Whitty ( needs lovin’, and and a good meal!)
Idris Elba,
Patrick Grant from Sewing Bee,?
