Who is your unusual crush?

Who do you find attractive but they're perhaps not attractive in a conventional way?

I'll start with David Baddiel. Something about him. His facial hair is sexy. He did a series cycling round France with Hugh Dennis (who I also have a crush on) and the pair of them were a joy to watch. Witty and intelligent. He's also fiercely proud of his Jewish heritage.

Patrick Grant (Sewing Bee judge)

Me too - definitely not unusual!

I’d happily spend a night with Martin Clunes, I don’t know if that’s unusual?!

Cheerful Charlie (Clarkson's Farm).

I shall offer no further explanation or context

How on earth I ended up watching him I don't know - I know sod-all about heavy engineering - but the laid-back and lovely Kurtis from Cutting Edge Engineering Australia. Look up the YouTube channel. My word, is he good with his hands...

Louis theroux 😅

Me too, but I think many women would agree so maybe not so unusual.
