Does anyone else find Giles Coren oddly attractive in all his mad Supersizers outfits?

[Olihan]

The whole Adam Ant thing kind of passed me by but Giles looks yummy .

Please tell me I'm not alone in this.......

Yes, me. He's hot

Did you see him in the Edwardian one, a la Mr Darcy.

Breeches and boots

He even looked hot in the Tudor one

I thought it was just me

Yes

Is he extremely short or is it a telly optical illusion?

Oh no, not just you at all. He's lovely! I think the foodiness makes him more attractive. He is very funny too.

Ooh yes, he's scrummy. And oh yes to the Mr. Darcy look (wasn't that Georgian, btw?)

My ex & he used to be mates / colleagues, but sadly I never got to meet him. Apparently he's completely lovely and v funny in real life too

oooh, yes, me. GC is lovely

I think I'm going to be sick.

Try reading some of his not so lovely notorious emails.

Ah, yes, Georgian, probably.

Breeches, that's all I remember. Was too transfixed to be registering anything else .

His emails are hilarious. The one about the indefinite article at the end made me PMSL.

Ah, well, if you wouldn't mind getting an email from a colleague wishing you would die that's ok then.

I've never seen this emails - are they online somewhere?

"this emails"?

he's a grade A arse (imo).

You sure hit the nail on the head there, Controlfreaky.

At least one of the emails has been on MN, Molesworth, so if you do a search it should come up, together with more dribbling about him.

So he's a twat then?

But an aesthetically pleasing twat.

If he looked in the Mirror of Erised (remember, it's an anagram of 'desire') he would see himself.

There's only been one leaked email hasn't there? to over zealous sub editors which, as a journalist, I would say was pretty justified albeit a little OTT.

Giles Coren, for example, is a twat.

(Nancy, there have been several to sub editors and at least one to another restaurant critic... enough to suggest strongly that sending long abusive emails is his default position when riled)

Personally I'd have thought better of him if he hadn't explained that he'd written an entire paragraph of a restaurant review purely in order to work in a feeble pun about oral sex. Although possibly his sex-scene writing (see winning Bad Sex Award entry) would be improved if large chunks of it were given over to restaurant descriptions instead, so he may be onto something after all.

I don't know of emails, but you can tell he is a prize idiot from the show. I had no idea he was a restaurant critic I would imagine that is like asking Keith Chegwin to be a theatre critic for Shakespeare.

I did enjoy the 80's one last night only as it brought back so many good memories and what a silly time it was. I do like Sue Perkins.

bbc site with a video of Giles for Olihan.

Awww that's a shame. I didn't realise he was a nob. For me his attractiveness was based on apparent personality and if he's a twat then he is not attractive IMHO. Oh well.....

He is a vitriolic arse sometimes, but I took quite a fancy to him too... but then I keep reading him slagging absolutely everyone that isn't him off, and the attraction is starting to wane... he's got the same birthday as me too, so we'd probably have a terrible clash of the Leos.

I like the way Sue P gets very squiffy very quickly !

I thought he looked HOT last night and Sue was so on-trend with her shoulder pads.

I fancy him in a "I know I shouldn't but I do" sort of way. Apparently he is also willy-obsessed.
