Inspired by DS obsession with Steve Backshall.

He would be off round the world "too busy to do childcare darling", would come home reeking of bar poo, and would insist on taking the children to play with venomous snakes "it won't hurt them if they don't bother it".

I have been following this thread but not commenting. Agree with many posters, especially re Keir Starmer, Joe Swash, David Tennant and Jeremy Clarkson. But I just realised I have an absolute stand-out one: James 'Arg' Argent.

Jamie Oliver. I’m willing to believe he’s a nice bloke and a loving husband but he must be really annoying to live with.

And he spits when he's talking, I'd not eat anywhere he did the cooking

Shaggable though. And he loves Cathedrals like I do

I’m with you on both those points. Not only shaggable but appears to be morally decent and not annoying, if you find the conspiracy theory stuff acceptable.

I agree.

See also Pedro Pascal. Pains me to say it, as the man is incredibly hot, but men telling women what to feel gives the ick.

I love Pedro Pascal 😍

Pedro Pascal is gorgeous!!!

RedCrochetedWigFace · 23/05/2025 08:38

Someone once described Pedro Pascal as looking like the random man your Dad drinks with at the pub but doesn't know the name of. I kind of see what they meant... but I still fancy him. 🤣

neverbeenskiing · 23/05/2025 08:57

Ricky Gervais. There's something really smug and self-congratulatory about him. I can imagine him being really patronising.

SunsetCocktails · 23/05/2025 09:27

Pedro Pascal’s 1970 porn tache puts me right off.

My secret is that I quite like a 70s porn star moustache. There, I said it out loud. 😂 Yes, I am a bit ashamed.

Amanda Holden..... always swanning around with next to no clothes on 🤔

I love him usually. but I saw him on some red carpet video and he .had some thigh high.boots on and it really put .me off I think it was the "ick" !

Badbadbunny · 23/05/2025 11:47

To be honest, most of them. I find most modern day slebs really self obsessed and self important, and that's the kind of personality I really detest.

I like quieter people so really wouldn't get on with many, if any, of our current crop of slebs.

I don't even like watching most of them on TV, so there's no way I'd ever marry one.

Oh god, yes she's awful. Her whole celebrity is based on looks and clothes, I detect very little soul or individual personality there.

GalileoFigaro · 19/05/2025 17:44

I fancied him so much when I was 12-13, back in the days of Mysterious Girl haha.

Not now though!

Ah I don't mind Peter...but his life with Emily does seem quite dull

Jeremy Vine is my celebrity crush! He seems like such a lovable geek, there’s something about him! I’d never admit this IRL of course as I’m some 25 years younger than him..

I like listening to Jeremy vine on radio 2-everyone else I know hates him and his show.

Starling7 · 24/05/2025 18:15

It would take a lot more than a shared interest in cathedrals to get me anywhere near him. Once his views became known, he rapidly lost any appeal!

Harry Sussex. I couldn't bear the incessant whining!

He seems to do what his wife tells him. If you told him to STFU he probably would.

So obedient and looks good naked …. Surely not the worst ?

Fair point, well made!

Kanye.

Sorry love, if I'm off out I'm wearing underwear AND clothes.

Plus my big coat in winter

Raffles76 · 25/05/2025 04:50

Steve Backshall is married to Helen Glover who is from near where we live - we often see him on the local beach with his family, and once my husband and I saw him there with all three (really young) kids on his own because his wife was abroad competing in the olympics, so I feel as though he must be a hands-on dad, since she has a career too… he was also super-lovely once in agreeing to have a picture with my little boy who was obsessed with him at the time :)
