A neighbour's nephew who lived in New York, but came to study in Oxford, so stayed with his uncle & aunt sometimes in the holidays. He was 23, I was 14. We went on bike rides together with his uncle. I used to swoon when he pecked me on the cheek goodbye and fantasize about him every hour of the day Blush. I last saw him when I did Camp America aged 20. He very kindly showed me & my then boyfriend round New York. Despite this generosity, XBF still looked daggers at him, I guess my crush was still evident, sigh.

The fox from the Disney Robin Hood film. Then Hartley Hare on Pipkins. Then Timothy Claypole in Rentaghost.
At school a boy called Stephen. Until I heard him singing rude words to a tune from "Jungle Book" and I went off him immediately.

A red-headed girl at my summer camp when I was around age 10 or so. She and I discovered we had identical bathing suits and we spent the entire summer together designing elaborate revenges against the camp bullies. I wish I could remember her name. She was dynamite.

Real or famous?

Famous - David Gahan, Depeche Mode. I adored him.

Real - Martin. I was 7 or 8 so year 3 I guess.

Thomasina I think I can beat that.

My first crush (which I can remember) in year 5/6 was....

Tim Vincent off blue peter.

This might out me. I was teased in primary about it. Blush

RedandYellowandGreenandBlue · 09/07/2015 23:11

Orinoco from The Wombles, then I went straight onto David Soul.

HarrietSchulenberg · 09/07/2015 23:13

Lionel from Playschool Blush when I was about 3.

Around the same time it was also Derek the drummer from Bay City Rollers and Agnetha from Abba.

Teenage crush was Bono from age 12 onwards. I met him when I was 17 and managed a coolish "Hi" before blushing hideously and stammering for his autograph.
