... if he had to choose one of them to re-populate the planet with it would be Hannah Fry (he likes a scientist, which is why we're together 😁).

He then asked which I would choose, and that was difficult ... I chose Kenny the Content Creator - I've no idea who is is but he seems relatively normal.

Who would you choose?

Also Hannah Fry but given that is biologically impossible, also Kenny as he has youth and enthusiasm on his side? James Blunt and Ross Kemp would be 2 & 3

Lottapianos · 10/10/2026 22:17

God, Hannah Fry is ridiculously hot. I'm a woman though, so would need a man to repopulate the earth. I would choose Michael Sheen 😉

James Blunt.

Blunty. A man who can take the mickey out of himself and is intelligent and funny is very attractive.

ObliviousCoalmine · 10/10/2026 22:21

Kenny or Sheen. Both?

Joe lie-cett.

Sheeny

AuroraBloom · 10/10/2026 22:44

James Blunt.

TheWayOfTheWorld · 10/10/2026 23:00

James Acaster for me

behindtheanimalhouse · 10/10/2026 23:03

I actually think all the celebs are quite attractive, decent men with talent and gravitas (or funny and clever). And Miranda is an absolute treasure.

Romesh. He’s so funny he could laugh me into bed .

WhatterySquash · 10/10/2026 23:45

Oddly I don’t really fancy any of them but I think I’d go for Romesh, reasonable combination of looks and brains. I like him more on traitors than I did before (same with maya jama).

Rob, Joe and James acaster all give me the heebie jeebies, Ross just no I couldn’t take him seriously. Michael Sheen maybe. James blunt is ok but too small I’d squash him.

it definitely is a grouping where it would be better to be a lesbian.

FairViewRosie25 · 10/10/2026 23:52

I’ve had dinner and drinks with Ross he is totally charming and such a lovely man. I would shag James Blunt in a heartbeat 😊

KnickerlessParsons · 11/10/2026 00:03

Probably Michael Sheen as the world needs more Welsh people 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Edenmum2 · 11/10/2026 00:05

100% Romesh, he’s my guilty pleasure crush

Moomieboo · 11/10/2026 00:38

Blunty obviously, then probs James Acaster, then Bobbie B.... I'll finish off with a Rom chocolate bomb !!!!

Those of you choosing James Blunt, did you not find it a tad off-putting in the first episode when he gleefully admitted that when women hear him sing "You're Beautiful" he's lying? He's not my type at all - seems sleazy - but if I was an adoring fan it might have burst my bubble.

Its because the song is about stalking, but people have assumed it is romantic

MyballsareSandy2015 · 11/10/2026 08:09

Rom or Rob … I like funny men.

AutumnAugury · 11/10/2026 08:18

Hannah Fry makes very good, scripted tv programmes. On Celebrity Traitors I have been disappointed by her inarticulacy.
Also why are individuals referred to in the third person plural?

Bella Ramsay says she is non-binary, hence the they/them for her if that is who you mean.

Is it though? There's some post-rationalisation going on. I know he has said that, but he was also quoted as saying he wrote the lyrics in about two minutes after seeing an ex-girlfriend on the London Underground with her new boyfriend.

The song contains lines that imply he saw the mystery woman once and doesn't expect to see her again (not exactly stalker behaviour). The video shows him jumping off a cliff, which he's said is about "letting go" not suicide.

He co-wrote a big hit that presumably earned him a pot of money, so of course everyone wants to know what inspired it. A lot of women presumably like to imagine they were the beautiful woman in the crowded place that either he or their fantasy hot guy had in mind, but he's confirmed publicly that they're not. Hope it doesn't spoil their enjoyment of the song. 😁

Gosh I don’t think any of ghe men are attractive, Ross kemp if the planet is facing extinction, but his paranoia is very off putting , so he’d have to keep his mouth shut

james blunt is too small and thin for me, nothing wrong with that, simply not my type at all, I like manly men, the tall rugby player type,

HelloCheekyCat · 11/10/2026 09:01

@Wildgoat
James blunt is too small and thin for me too, his voice doesn't sound real either, it's too breathy 😆
James A probably because he's tall, Ross's paranoia wouldn't be ideal IRL but is great in the show because it shows he's obviously watched it before either as a fan of to study beforehand
