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.

What a great post! Rylan like most others, also Gaby Roslin? Alex Jones on the One Show always seems cheery and positive.

Monty Don, Grayson Perry and Nadiya Hussain

JustPootlingAlong · 03/04/2021 21:13

Tom Hanks.
For me, he is the movie equivalent to David Attenborough. Just something very soothing about him and most of his films.

@Tana433

Owain Wyn Evans who is a welsh journalist but is also the weatherman on North West Tonight. I just adore him, i think he would be great to go for a drink and a gossip with. Great fun!
Owain has totally cheered me up during lockdown, especially following the news which hasn't always been uplifting. His suits, his amazing hair, his Welsh accent and just his positivity. I think he will go on to have his own show one day; he has the personality for it.

And Bob Mortimer is just lovely. So likeable on the fishing programme and so so funny on Would I Lie To You.

I have a soft spot for Graham Norton who was friendly to my daughter when she worked with him in a very lowly capacity ages ago. Although when I saw him at the Royal Exchange theatre in Manchester he was surrounded by a fawning entourage, falling over one another to suck up to him. We were fascinated to watch them at the bar during the interval. That might not be GN's fault though.

Quaagars · 03/04/2021 21:13

Oh, and Mrs Hinch!
Not technically a celebrity, but still sends me to my happy place and chills me out lol

Sunbeam18 · 03/04/2021 21:16

Monty Don, Sara Cox; Ken Bruce

SimonJT · 03/04/2021 21:19

Dr Ranj, he treated my son a few years ago and he was brilliant.

Graham Norton, very kind and will go out of his way to help people.

POG dogs is back soon.

Jo Brand. I just feel we'd get on like a house on fire. I have met her once, actually, and we had a very convivial chat. She makes me laugh whatever she says and whatever she does on TV.

Truelymadlydeeplysomeonesmum · 03/04/2021 21:22

Another vote for Dolly Parton. Her music isn't my thing at all. However she has always just made me feel cheerful.

Even more fond of her now as during this pandemic. She gave money to help fund the Moderna vaccine.

Also they wanted to put up a statue of her last year in Tennessee. She told them that she was flattered but during the pandemic it wasn't appropriate.

What a classy lady. If only other celebrities were like Dolly.
