I was bloody obsessed with Barry Gibb, Dave from Shawaddywaddy, Alvin Stardust and later Richard Clayderman the wet pianist.
To be fair, I still fancy Barry Blush.

Aged 4, Lionel Morton from Playschool and Derek the drummer from the Bay City Rollers.
Aged 12, Bono, from the minute I saw the New Years Day video, and Ian McCulloch from Echo and the Bunnymen.
Bono was a consistent swoon of mine for about the next 15 years but, sadly, I find him pretty repulsive nowadays.
These days it's Richard Armitage, Christopher Ecclestone and/or Viggo Mortensen.

Oh Karl Howman! Totally forgot about him. We went on a school trip to the West End (from deepest darkest Wales) when I was mid crush and we actually saw him walking down the street. I thought it was a sign. It wasn’t :(. He was in some musical that I dragged my then boyfriend to three times.
