He's sexy , funny , the right height for me and seems genuinely kind hearted . Always liked him but as he aged love him even more .

You can watch the podcast. I watched it.

Ooooo he was handsome!! I can’t say I fancy him but he is wonderful and a genuine national treasure.
I recommend listening last week’s Dish podcast episode with him on. I love the podcast anyway but he was a fabulous guest. So interesting learning more about him.

Thanks for recommending this, I’m listening to it now!

Don't forget he's got false teeth.....

Loads of women have always fancied him, right from his early days with Vic Reeves in the 1990s. I'm always puzzled when people mention him in 'Confess your unlikely/weird crush' threads because it's actually a really mainstream crush and not a weird one at all!

All comedians who come across as warm, funny and non-threatening always have legions of female fans who fancy them. Greg Davies and Bill Bailey are also fancied by millions of women.

Bob Mortimer? Really? I've never heard of anyone fancying him and Shooting Stars was my era. He's hilarious i could listen to him tell stories and jokes all day and watch him in anything, but fancy? I dont remember anyone fancying him the or now 😃

Now, Greg Davies, there's a different kettle of fish, the height! Excessively tall, and funny and a brilliant story teller, he's the one for me! 😄

SnowFrogJelly · 28/11/2025 11:07

YANBU I would!

Bayroot1 · 28/11/2025 11:04

Ds1 has a look of him. Ds is 6ft though. There's a photo of young Bob that's very like ds1. Funnily enough ds1's dad is from Boro. Ds is taken though so don't get too excited lasses 🤣

When I saw Ross Noble live I laughed so much I couldn’t breathe. Still recommend it though 😂 Every time he looked down he said “ah man - can’t believe I forgot to bring my good jeans” like it really made any difference to us!

Yes Ross Noble his fab - though I do get distracted watching him thinking he’d make a great Klingon.

YABU but only because you'd have to fight me off

What about when he takes his teeth out though?

Nothing a bit of Fuji 9 won’t sort

NettleTea · 28/11/2025 10:16

yes, dont find him attractive as much as Id love to be his mate and pop round for an evening of merriment.
Id love to join the gossip club, which apparently consists of him,, Matt Berry and Reece Shearsmith (and thats who I do find extremely attractive) where they share the T and discuss who is 'at the top table'. I imagine Reece does some of his magic too.

sexlesshusbandwoes · 28/11/2025 10:13

I’ve always had a crush on Bob he’s brilliant

CaptainCarrotsBigSword · 28/11/2025 10:12

I have emailed him a few times (work related, my work not his, not showbiz at all) and he is really nice. Always pays his bill on time, and he does it himself not a PA or anything.

thesugarbumfairy · 28/11/2025 09:30

God no I don't find him in the least bit sexy. He's more like my dad. But he is hilarious. I saw him and Richard Ayoade doing a 'talk' recently about his (well both of their) new books and obviously it wasn't a comedy show - it was supposed to be a book talk - but they had the audience in stitches for the entire time. I rarely laugh out loud at stuff. Unless its those two.

Their Travel Man trip to Hamburg is great.

No way#
And totally unfunny

Yep. I don’t get the adoration from younger comedians it’s baffling

ScouserInExiIe · 28/11/2025 09:16

Don't mind him (or Vic) but... not from a desirability perspective. For me, that'd be their fellow North Easterner, Ross Noble 😳

When I saw Ross Noble live I laughed so much I couldn’t breathe. Still recommend it though 😂 Every time he looked down he said “ah man - can’t believe I forgot to bring my good jeans” like it really made any difference to us!

Hot Bob.

His son is the spitting image of him.

MrsMurphyIWish · 28/11/2025 09:56

No but he is hilarious. When I watched him on “last one laughing” I had tears rolling at some points. I would love to go out for a drink with him!

pandora206 · 28/11/2025 09:52

His books are hilarious. Just listening to him reading the third one on Audible at the moment.

MyCatLovesCardboard · 28/11/2025 09:50

DH and I love Bob. He should get a knighthood as he’s a national treasure.

AnOldCynic · 28/11/2025 09:47

Doublebubblegum · 27/11/2025 19:02

I fancy Vic Reeves more tbh

I’d have them both. At the same time 😂

LittlePotteryBird · 28/11/2025 09:45

I love Bob and I used to fancy him until he featured in an explicit dream of mine in which he had extremely smelly feet. Now when I see him on telly and start to think he’s sexy a little voice says ‘yeah but his feet stink’.

Ohwhatfuckeryitistoride · 28/11/2025 09:40

Hi SIL! 😁👋👋👋
