It was never like phwoarrr obvious, but looking back she definitely had a thing for Daley Thompson and Paul Nicholas (Just Good Friends).
Good taste Mum!

My mother’s crushes were in the 60s. Mine in the 80s was Pål Waaktaar from A-ha.

My mum also loved Paul Nicholas. Noel Edmonds was another and the 'good looking' BeeGee, don't know what his name is/was.

When she was 50-60, no idea. My step probably, who she married in 1981.

Yes but I bet she still had crushes in the 80s. My mum loved Elvis but hello, Daley Thompson
