@Rainbowknickers I met his brother at a festival and he added me on Facebook. I used to get all "oooh, Chesney wrote that!" about his wall. I have never been into Chesney Hawkes in the slightest Grin

@Yogurtcoveredricecake Saw Paul Nichols once is real life. He is surprisingly shorter than you would expect. Cracking smile though

I'm surprised how many posters want to get their mmmmmm bop on. Grin

progestermoan · 23/07/2019 19:01

Honestly ! Look at their Instagram they seem to have it all in their favour, extremely good looking (well one maybe not as much but he looks like he’s good fun), they run some kind of charity/food bank, lots of kids/look like they are all happy etc
And Taylor.....did I mention Taylor he is actually beautiful

Oh yes and Michael Praed - he was gorgeous!,

Also an Italian footballer who played in Italia 90 called Giuseppe Gianninni!

Matildatoldsuchdreadfullies · 23/07/2019 19:18

Illya Kuryakin - The Man from UNCLE. I would like to point out that this was the repeats in the 90s.

I normally preferred characters in books, though. Patrick Pennington, Mr. Rochester. I’m not sure they provide models for healthy relationships, but gosh, they were sexy.

InMyOwnParticularIdiom · 23/07/2019 19:20

Sean Bean (in Sharpe)
Rufus Sewell (in Middlemarch)
Russell Crowe (in Gladiator)

Basically, I was interested unless they were in historical dress...
