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".

Gwyneth Paltrow. Steaming her vagina, testing candles, tofu, green veg, wearing white which takes us to Geri Halliwell.

Mr Tumble

TwentyKittens · 18/05/2025 13:53

Tim Key for some reason.

I think I'd find his professional persona irritating, if there's a lot of it in the real him, if you get what I mean.

It's annoying because I find him strangely attractive. 😬

Judiezones · 18/05/2025 13:54

Robbie Williams, just annoying and loves himself

Sahara123 · 18/05/2025 13:56

Jamie Oliver. And on the chef theme Gordon Ramsay! Arrogant twats
Although Michel Roux junior however can pickle my walnuts any day 🤣

Martin Lewis. I love him but I bet he goes through the bills with a fine tooth comb and never wants to pay full price for anything

This made me laugh, he seems like a really nice guy but I bet he’d be triple checking you’d booked the holiday by midnight last night in order to get the extra 20% Jet2 discount!

DontReplyIWillLie · 18/05/2025 13:57

Joe Wicks. He’s hot, but I feel like I couldn’t unpack the shopping without him showing me how I could do reps with baked bean tins as I did it, or how I could be doing burpees while waiting for the kettle to boil. I’d be thinking, “For fuck’s sake, I just want a cup of tea and a Mr Kipling slice.”

Mark Whalberg. I actually like him, but his workout routine would piss me off. Doesn't he wake up at 4am and go to bed at 8pm to maximise working out or some shit.

Its too much!

I liked him until he said that if he had been on one of the planes on 9/11 he would have stopped the terrorists and stopped it from crashing.

To answer the question - most politicians. If they are doing their job well they won't ever really be "off". And could you imagine having a sensible decision with them.
"Can you pick up some free range eggs please darling?"
"No such thing as free range anymore because of bird flu"
"Oh. Do you think we should avoid buying eggs for the time being then?"
"Well, it would depend on whether you can trust x party to put an appropriate environmental policy in place because..."

Ha I know what you mean. He reminds me very much (in personality) of my DH's best friend, who is also strangely attractive but an absolute nightmare as a husband lol

I actually think that there is a softer side to Gordon Ramsey. If you watch him on Kitchen Nightmares, he can actually be really, really kind and sensitive. If he thinks you're being an idiot there is no chance but I'd imagine he is fiercely loyal to people he cares about. You know he'll always think he' right in an argument though.

I always get the impression that Steve Backshall is actually a really supportive partner and happy to be in the background while his wife shines. He's always at her events looking after the kids and cheering her on.

I absolutely love Michael Ball but think he'd been far too cheery and enthusiastic for me irl. Always telling stories and breaking into song!

I don’t think Michael Ball would bother you much, if you get my drift.

Bruce Springsteen. Everyone loves him, and since *Trump now hates him, there are pictures everywhere of him shirtless running on a beach. I would hate to try to keep up.
I remember that news story when his truck broke down and a biker gang found him and they all got on so well they went for dinner somewhere.
I worked with someone with that sort of energy, always happy also always lovely. Made me feel mean spirited and inadequate.

  • I think at this point we can all accept that Trump doesn't hold mainstream views, nor do I feel obliged to defer to his myriad of supporters. In fact I rather suspect Trump's attack has drawn the attention of younger people who didn't know how lovely and lovely looking Bruce Springsteen is, and he may now be more popular!

I would totally want to be married to Bruce Springsteen, especially the young version. I’m sure we’ve all seen the photo…

Having his mates round all the time would probably get annoying though.

melitea · 18/05/2025 14:04

I would suspect most of them would be a pain to be with, even if they were ok they'd always be away with work or you'd be out with them and they would constantly be interrupted and hassled by fans. My cousin, about 20 years ago dated a footballer and it she'd get up to go to the loo and come back and there would be a swarm of girls around her boyfriend.

It all sounds a massive pain in the backside.

BlueEyedBogWitch · 18/05/2025 14:05

Bono. Can you even imagine? You’d have to build steps up to the bed, and an extension for his ego to
live in.

PrincessOfPreschool · 18/05/2025 14:05

DS gave me a 'Would you rather..' once. Would I rather be married to Boris Johnson or Jeremy Clarkson? It was a tough one. I said Bojo cos I didn't think the marriage would last too long!

WitchesCauldron · 18/05/2025 14:08

David Beckham. No intelligent convo whatsoever.

I've just Google Young Bruce because I've never seen any.photos. I may have audibly gone "oh!" at this pic. 😂

I'm sure you're right. Like a PP I just think he'd been a lovely positive person to have around. Just not all the time

tobee · 18/05/2025 14:09

Yeah I wouldn't want Gordon Ramsey; he'd always be hawking up a mouthful of his food into his hand.

ACynicalDad · 18/05/2025 14:10

Rolf Harris, but he may be dead by now.

Vitrolinsanity · 18/05/2025 14:12

Brian May. Granted you’d be married to a very interesting man, but how many times would you be thinking “Christ Brian, just strum the guitar like a normal human and get off yet another sodding roof”.

MissScarletInTheBallroom · 18/05/2025 14:12

Joe Wicks.

He'd be making you do a HIIT workout whilst in labour with your 6th baby.

BlueEyedBogWitch · 18/05/2025 14:12

Oh, look at this one then.

You can thank me later.
