Not like sexually or anything, just happy when you're sad. In both my pregnancies I've had some mad secret obsession with George Michael. He's just so nice to look at and listen to. Yet as soon as I gave birth, the obsession ended.

Bob Mortimer - national treasure
Rev. Richard Coles - just seems like the loveliest person.
Michael Sheen - always wondered how he managed to have such high-calibre girlfriends but then listened to an interview with him and was absolutely beguiled by how charming and funny he was.

The late great Terry Wogan never failed to lift my spirits.

Brian Blessed... he seems such a jovial big funny and interesting man. We've been lucky enough to go to 'An Evening With' and he's as crazy as you'd expect

CrazyBaubles · 03/04/2021 17:45

Louis Theroux
Jamie Cullum - his voice is just lovely and he seems so nice.
Rylan - I'm another who expected to dislike him but I think he's lovely.
Jamie Oliver - I think I've been watching him for so long he's comforting and nostalgic all in one.

Michael Ball

Ah Bob Mortimer on his fishing programme with Paul Whitehouse. He seems just so funny and kind.

Rylan does also always bring a smile too. He was the first person I thought of when I saw this.

Sarahlou252 · 03/04/2021 17:47

Rylan Rylan Rylan!

Mrsjayy · 03/04/2021 17:48

I love that fishing programme it's a joy to watch 🙂

HarryBob · 03/04/2021 17:49

Dolly Parton, I just think she is lovely

@HerBigChance

Graham Norton. I just like him.
Me too! His on-screen persona seems really down-to-earth & he's extremely funny. I think he plays down his celebrity very well.

Of course no idea what he's like in real life - but I was at a garden fete in West Cork (where he's from) & he was there with elderly aunts I think. He was really lovely. People were respectful & let him be, but he was happy to chat & seemed very relaxed the whole time. & lovely to the aunts!

@felineflutter

Stephen Mangan If wasn't married to DH he would be my ideal partner. Smile
Noooo! Everything about him, everything!, annoys me.

Olly Alexander it’s that big infectious smile
His Instagram stories are a riot

Aspiringmatriarch · 03/04/2021 18:00

Richard E Grant, he just always seems so joyful and a bit naughty.
Agree with PPs about Jo Brand, Alison Hammond and Nadya Hussein. And still miss Terry Wogan 😢.

IckyPop · 03/04/2021 18:04

Bernard Cribbins 🥰

Joanna Lumley
Paloma Faith - love her smiley face ! She was so enthusiastic and encouraging to the contestants on The Voice Kids.

Mel Giedroyc was on Saturday Kitchen this morning and she seemed lovely - warm, funny and down to earth. I like Olly-the-wine-guru as well.
