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.

Anthony Valentine as a German officer in Colditz

Come on, EVERYONE fancied him in that role and I was only about 12 😆
Also agree with @HollyhocksandPeons about the banging on about heritage. We’ve all got one ffs. I can’t watch “Who Do You Think You Are” because it just makes me think “who the fuck cares!”

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

Not for me it isn't! I think he's gorgeous.

Yes - I followed him on Instagram and read loads about him for about 48hrs then I calmed down but can absolutely see that!

I am so sick and tired of people FIERCELY proud of their heritage, enough already. P.S. He looks like he needs a good wash. I recommend Adrian Brody as an improvement - does not harp on about his heritage and looks clean. Also conventionally ugly, but sooooo attractive.

Gordon Ramsay , I’ve got a thing about men who occasionally over step the fine line between confidence & arrogance , ditto Simon Cowell …

Me too, Gordon has something about him….

Apart from Nick Frost (but now I feel mean!)
