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 .

I don’t fancy him but I think he is one of the funniest people ever. His stories on WILTY are brilliant.

I hope he is fully recovered now from his shingles as he still seems to be recovering on the current Gone Fishing series. Take care Bob!

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.

Thepeopleversuswork · 28/11/2025 09:20

Not sure about desirable but he is just very naturally funny: makes me laugh before he's even opened his mouth. And comes across as quite gentle and diffident, which doesn't often go with that territory.

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 😳

vickylou78 · 28/11/2025 09:10

Don't find him sexy but I absolutely adore Bob!! He's brilliant and so warm and naturally funny. Love gone fishing!

cafenoirbiscuit · 28/11/2025 08:58

i loved him even more when I read his autobiography
he seems very genuine and humble

Did you like him when he was a sleazeball on Shooting stars when he was making disgusting sexist comments to women on the show. Yuck

Yawn

Greg Davies would definitely get it 😉

I fancy him too. My biggest regret was just missing out on meeting him 2 christmases ago.

He’s originally from just down the road from me so is often seen on a night out in town. We were out on our works Xmas do and I had the chance of a lift home with a colleague so went a bit early.
On my way home I get a text from another colleague, a photo of her cuddling up to him in the bar they went to next. 😡 fumin’
She said he was lovely.

Hot Bob.

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.

Love him on Would I Lie To You.

TheatricalLife · 28/11/2025 08:18

I can't say yes as he looks just like my dad!! I absolutely love him though.

I had a pic of him on my wall as a teen, and I’ve loved him ever since. It’s the twinkle.

He was very good looking as a young man.

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.

Phil Wang comes top of the warm, funny, non-threatening league for me.

NET145 · 28/11/2025 06:44

Love him!!!

Louisetopaz21 · 28/11/2025 06:32

I met him last year in a coffee shop when he was recording his fishing program. He is short in real life but it was a snug coffee shop so he had to brush past me to get his three sugars. A nice guy.

Kidsgotothatschool · 28/11/2025 06:31

Husband’s obsessed with watching ‘gone fishing’ and I have tbh I think Bob is an absolute diamond, but he’s sadly too short for me to fancy! But I completely get it!

Sartre · 28/11/2025 06:27

Oh yeah, he’s lovely. Not sexy, he’s lovely in a Grandad sort of way. I think he naturally has a beautiful soul.

firstofallimadelight · 28/11/2025 06:25

Yes I love him and his autobiography is brilliant. But I also love Nish Kumar, Greg Davies and Dara O’ Brian so I definitely have a type!
They are all in my top five men I have a free pass with. Chris Hemsworth is number 1 though.

I've always fancied him (Bob, not Vic) but have never met another person who admitted it! This is mind blowing. And nope, I'm not Bob posting either.

ChaToilLeam · 28/11/2025 06:16

I love him. I'd share a chicken parmo with him any time.
