They can be good looking too, but that’s not the main reason you find them attractive. Or they have a good voice on the radio and you have no idea what they look like.

I have gone off him a bit now, but mine used to be Ian Hislop.

No shaming!

I once read Boris described as a stupid person's idea of what a clever person was like.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 08/01/2019 18:25

Andrew Marr Blush

IamIwas · 08/01/2019 18:29

I find Andrew Marr fascinatingly unattractive.

AnyFucker · 08/01/2019 18:36

Louis Theroux

Billy Connolly (yes, really)

Eddie Izzard before he changed from a no-nonsense cross dresser into a whining transwoman

ElizabethMainwaring · 08/01/2019 18:39

Midlifecrisis2017. Misquote but understandably so. It was Julie Burchill who described Stephen Fry as the stupids person's idea of a clever person.

SeraphinaDombegh · 08/01/2019 18:44

@Rachelsholiday oooh, I fancy Dr Xand but feel nothing for Dr Chris! So that works out nicely Grin

I'll also fourth - or fifth, or whatever - Chris Packham. Had a thing for him when I was little and he's only got better with age!

PickAChew · 08/01/2019 18:51

Many of the above, male or female, but definitely not Carol Vorderman. I still cringe at the memory of seeing her performance on Question Time.

And Xand does it for me more than Chris.

derxa · 08/01/2019 18:52

Andrew Graham-Dixon Yes he's the only one I can be doing with on here. The rest are smugness personified.

ElizabethMainwaring · 08/01/2019 18:59

God help me if I mention that Vorderman's got a third... but she's ever so clever, don't you know...

Mominatrix · 08/01/2019 19:21

Dan Snow - my children taunt me about him and have nicknamed him My Boyfriend
Barack Obama
I admire John Legend, but somehow don’t find him sexy
Bill Clinton - controversial, and I disapprove of the way he has treated women in the past, but he really is magnetic when you meet him in person

Timmytoo · 08/01/2019 20:06

I find Ben from Tipping Point so attractive and charismatic.

katekat383 · 08/01/2019 20:20

Barack Obama - for sure. Just gorgeous.

brizzledrizzle · 08/01/2019 20:21

Brian May.

Horses4 · 08/01/2019 20:24

Yes to Simon Reeve. And Tim Minchin. I am seeing both live this year 😍

CatAnnoyance · 08/01/2019 20:37

I like Martin Lewis Blush

He's so knowledgeable. I know he'd sort me out.

derxa · 08/01/2019 20:41

I love him. I know you're saying this as a joke but he's actually pretty bright.

southeastdweller · 08/01/2019 20:43

I agree about Michael Mosley.

Also - Giles Coren. I see I'm the first to mention him on here - does nobody else fancy him?

katekat383 · 08/01/2019 20:47

Yes yes to Giles Coren!
