To have a huge crush on Justin Fletcher/Mr Tumble?

57 replies

AnnaConda99 · 10/12/2016 18:51

I have no children and I'm a lowly student but I have a massive crush on Justin Fletcher. It goes back to my days at sixth form when Gigglebiz had a massive following and I was a big fan of it too. I then got into Something Special and thought he was just so sweet with all the children. Upon going to university, my crush on him cooled a bit because I was being told it was a bit silly to like him so much when I was at that point a teenager. I saw him again recently on Gigglebiz and I think now my crush on him has come back...He will always be an idol to me for doing so much for disabled children and different charities but am I too old to be having these crushes? Would appreciate any stories from other people who have a crush on him and of course those who don't are welcome to reply as well. Blush

OMG - headline news - actor is real adult person and appears to be somewhat different to Cbeebies character he portrays on screen Hmm

And if folks find him annoying - umm - maybe that's because the target age is much younger than you? and also - see above.

Why people in the public eye are seen as fair game for spiteful and hurtful comments is beyond me. Would you call a MN poster a 'Chubby gurnmeister' wondermike?

I also think he would constantly grab your boobs and make the honking horn sound

squoosh · 10/12/2016 19:43

This must be the 27th most common thread title on MN. It seems everyone fancies him! Confused

Do you think he'd thing the goodbye song before he left afterwards? 'Goodbye, goodbye, it's time to run. Goodbye, goodbye, I hope you had good fun. I say goodbye, I'm happy that you came...'

I'm not embarrassed. So all those people saying I need to get a new crush...I'm perfectly happy with having a crush on JF despite my childless state.

I don't get why people have to get into physical attacks either. Like would we like it if somebody scrutinised our looks like that?

Aww, I am so disappointed that he smokes though! I hate smoking. Maybe it's what gets him through the day.

Thanks to everyone for replying. I am a big JF lover. :)

Oh my god this again? Has someone posted that fake picture of him in a basque with his cock stuck in the exhaust of a Range Rover yet?

Notavictimbutasurvivor · 10/12/2016 21:16

LOL bring it on 81Blondie81 Grin

Oh dear...he smokes and he drives a Range Rover Sad Takes all kinds to make a world though Smile

I feel like people may think I am a bit of a lunatic for liking Mr Fletcher.

I'm also confused by these different reports you hear. Some say he is a knobhead and others say he is lovely Confused

Sorry if I'm annoying people because they've seen this thread numerous times. I'm new to all this.

Why do you care what strangers think about your crushes?

AIBU? No. Insane. Yes.
Not if he was the last man on earth.

thecraftyfox · 11/12/2016 02:40

No crush here but nearly cried laughing the last time this subject came up on MN and somebody speculated if he said "waaaait" in that irritating way if he got to the um...vinegar strokes too soon.

SuffolkBumkin · 11/12/2016 02:48

I used to go round his house when I was in my teens,via a mutual friend of his sisters. He is really down to earth,his family are all high achievers though. His dad is a song writer,his sisters have music promoters/news presenters, and his cousin was in dire straits. He really is a nice bloke.

salsmum · 11/12/2016 04:02

My son knows him and has worked with him he is a lovely man and the kids do love him too. Smile

JellyFishFingers · 11/12/2016 04:06

I used to like the presenter on Doodle-Do. He'd start the programme asking if you fancied a doodle-do! The whole thing was cheeky!

ElaineVintage · 11/12/2016 04:19

I don't think he's that interested in women iyswim Wink

DonaldStott · 11/12/2016 08:48

Grin at the Stockholm Syndrome explanation. And also the 'waaaaaaiiit'

AmserGwin · 11/12/2016 09:34

This is the most unreasonable thing I have seen on here! You can't be serious? I can't stand him Angry

What2017 · 07/06/2017 21:14

Where exactly did you see him smoking??
