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?

Just watched the end of Emmerdale, the chap who plays Cain is very tasty.
Been married to a policeman for 50 years, I might be ready for a bad boy now

I know I’m going to come across as a Cougar, but I am enchanted by the twinkly blue eyes and good looks of Martin Kemp’s son Roman. He is a sweetheart.

I am a bit greedy Nicegranny or so it seems lol. Yes to Black Jack Randall ?

JackyB Mon 22-Feb-21 09:14:53

Robert Harris. He's about the same age as us, so it doesn't always have to be a toyboy. And brains, too. Really nice bloke and must be rolling in it with all those successful books.

Trouble is, I'm already married to a Latin teacher....

Peter from Corrie, Storynanny? Are you sure? Have you been at his whisky?

garnet25 Sun 21-Feb-21 23:52:47

To think I forgot Charles Dance and of course the late and gorgeous Alan Rickman.

Sam Elliott , looks better as he has got older

Thierry Henry, good looks and sexy voice .

Calendargirl Sun 21-Feb-21 22:06:29

Roger Allam, Inspector Fred Thursday, Morse’s boss in ‘Endeavour’.

Cuddly, but tough.

Floradora9 Sun 21-Feb-21 21:53:32

Paul Egan I think he is lovely though , like me , getting old .

Nicegranny Sun 21-Feb-21 18:52:09

HiPpyChick ?
You are one greedy lady ? l can’t say l find Peston attractive but l do agree about the other guys in Outlander.
What do you think of Black Jack Randall ?
There’s something about him l find attractive and I love his mannerisms with the way he tilts his head and sniffs quietly with tight lips. His acting was amazing ?
(Sexy and a bit depraved) not that I would want to be a victim of his. And l could never work out if he was cross eyed. ??

Nicegranny Sun 21-Feb-21 18:41:38

I have another
Bryan Cranston (Walter White) from Breaking Bad

HiPpyChick57 Sun 21-Feb-21 17:53:13

Forgot Matthew McFaddyen from Ripper Street.

HiPpyChick57 Sun 21-Feb-21 17:45:10

Got lots main ones are Tom Hardy Tom Ellis. Hugh Jackman.
I’m totally with you Chrisks and Nicegranny about Jamie Fraser from Outlander. Mind you there’s loads of gorgeous men in that program including Roger, Murtauh, Lord John Grey. Dougall. Jamie out does them all though!
Hot under the collar now just thinking of them.
For some reason I like Robert Peston as well...I’m not sure why!

He has a sort of vulnerability, and doesn’t lose his cool, emotionally mature. (Chris Whitty) doesn’t do it for me though.

Yes, I think you’ve summed it up
nicely there, Florida12, and that quality is attractive I have to admit. Not attractive in looks, but in personality. Looks aren’t everything are they?

My mind has wandered back to Charles Dance in The Jewel in the Crown in the 80s.
Very masterful..Moved like a panther... Mmmm... Quick! Pass the smelling salts

honeyrose Sun 21-Feb-21 15:05:47

I’m afraid I can’t see Prof Chris Whitty as fanciable, but he seems a really nice man, quite shy, reserved and genuine. Whenever I see him, I think of how he must have looked as a little boy - not much different, facially, I can imagine. Are you ladies fancying him for his brainpower? This can certainly be an attractive attribute, I realise.
