How many of these do you agree with? I have to confess to having a soft spot for Richard Hammond, Philip Schofield and Paul Hollywood.blush
Who else would you add to the list?

As MASH was my favourite sitcom ever, I always thought it would be good to meet Alan Alda - not a crush, really. I thought he would be interesting and funny. Probably confusing him with his character, Hawkeye.

We don't go to see many comedians as the shows are usually very expensive and often disappointing but we saw Rich Hall a couple of years ago and I was in tears with laughing. Trouble was, I was desperate to go to the loo and we were sat quite close to the front of the stage. Thankfully I was able to wait till the interval but someone else didn't blush; ohmygiddyaunt, I can't remember what Rich said but I'm glad it wasn't me. I've been thinking about him whilst making a cup of tea [as you do] and I can imagine [fantasise] about him coming to my house to fix the plumbing [he's got that look about him] but then, as we have a cup of tea, starting to chat in a surprisingly intelligent and witty way about world affairs....[I'm not implying that plumbers aren't clever, by the way, she says digging herself out of a hole that's growing bigger by the minute].

anno; I've got a feeling I've seen Alan Alda being interviewed and he is indeed an all round good guy. Isn't it interesting [well I think it is] that all of the people that have been mentioned [including the laidees that the guys have mentioned] aren't necessarily good looking but articulate, funny and compassionate.

Oh yes - Darcey Bussell... I always did have a weakness for posh tottie!

I can quite see the fascination of Rich Hall - he has made some superb documentaries, ion which he blended well with the American country backgrounds - that face is redolent of buttes and deserts! And then he is witty, too.

I see I've done it again. I think it's the 'control enter' command that's doing it. If I press too hard, it repeats the post. Tegan, I think we must be past the age when looks are the most important factor in attraction. I think I might have seen the same interview with Alan Alda. I also liked him in the West Wing, playing a compassionate Republican candidate - a bit of an oxymoron nowadays.

He does a lot of charity work, has been very supportive of feminism over the years and is very knowledgeable about science and medicine [learned a lot when he was in MASH]. Reckon I need to add him to my secret crush list. I once worked for someone that was drop dead gorgeous; most of the girls I worked with fancied him but I knew him well enough to totally loathe him angry.

Just thought of Marco-Pierre White! He seems to have a brittle outer layer with a soft centre.

As real men I quite like the looks of the guys out of DIY SOS Chris and Jules. They can get me plastered anythine!

I was strangely attracted to Eric Morecambe.
DH looks a bit like him now, and he still makes me laugh!
Ernie Wise, however, did nothing for me.

Michael Kitchen.

Nonu Ryan Gosling is not a weird crush - every second woman is nuts about him. Must be the little boy lost thing he does so well ...!
