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 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.

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

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

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.

Tom Newton Dunn, journalist ??‍♀️

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

Nottooold .... Boris??? ?

Bryan Ferry and Martin Kemp.

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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'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.

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.

Adrian Dunbar and Tom Wilkinson ( the full monty)

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

Ooh yes, I forgot about Martin Shaw!

lilydily9 Fri 19-Feb-21 21:01:25

Martin Shaw, he just gets better with age.

Calendargirl Fri 19-Feb-21 20:56:36

Adrian Dunbar.

Grannynannywanny Fri 19-Feb-21 20:42:31

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 ?

How about Fred from First Dates? Such French charm! Of course we can still have crushes! wink

Christopher Eccleston (but, if he's busy, I wouldn't kick Idris Elba out of bed).
