Hooray! James from Salisbury has found love, or something akin to it, in the least likely of circumstances:
During Christmas, the family and I were watching the Christmas special of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire? and I noticed that Maths and IQ legend Carol Vorderman was one of the contestants.
To cut to the chase, I now have a slightly weird crush on Carol Vorderman. It sounds stupid to my friends, but I would probably dick her, given the chance.
So, answer me this – During your lives, have you ever had a strange crush on someone?
Of course. We’re only human! As are you, readers – so go to the comments and reveal the celebs who give you shame-boners.

Stevie Nicks. I was such a tomboy. Never wore dresses, yet had my mom make me a dress with lace gloves just like the one Stevie wore in the video for “Gypsy”. Mind you this was the late 80s and nobody I knew liked her, not even Fleetwood Mac. Everyone thought I was crazy and often made fun of me. I had an entire wall of my bedroom dedicated to her and a little, witchie shrine with the folder from her fan club (that I paid money to join and the never sent me dick).
Well, whatever. Even now, I still think she’s hot. I feel no remorse for admitting it either. So there.

Also, June Whitfield, Prunella Scales and Joan Sims. This is what happens when you’re a child of the 70s.
I wonder if teenage boys of today lust after Caroline Quentin. She’s kind of like the modern equivalent.

I quite fancy Kim Cattrall… That’s wrong isn’t it? I hate sex in the city, I absolutely detest it… but, my god, I would definitely nail that already well worn in soon-to-be pensioner.
January 6, 2011 at 8:00 pm |
Pam Ayres. I used to fancy her something rotten. In fact, I still do.

Neil deGrasse Tyson, prominent astrophysicist. He’s unashamedly dorky, super witty and knowledgeable about his subject and many others in the sciency field. Plus he can rock a mustache. *sigh*
And because I think most British men are sort of awkward looking (except Colin Firth), Jeeves and Wooster era Hugh Laurie. Nothing against awkwardness, but many famous male Brits have the same kind of slightly chinless, scrawny face thing going on and few of them can carry such a mug well. Hugh Laurie is an exception, and helps that he’s funny as well.

Michael Sheen, but only when playing Tony Blair. This sickens me. Which somehow makes it even better…
January 5, 2011 at 1:47 pm |
Fern Britton & Lorraine Kelly. No shame in that.
January 4, 2011 at 7:03 pm |
I have been in love with Rowan Atkinson for the last 25 years and will never give up hope. I see no shame in this.
January 13, 2011 at 3:48 am |
I completely love Rowan Atkinson! (Especially in Black Adder, Series 2! It must be his facial hair…)
January 4, 2011 at 3:56 pm |
Meryl Streep, but only in The Devil Wears Prada
January 4, 2011 at 2:18 pm |
Miranda Sawyer.
I once read a poll among these lines, called Women I Secretly Adore. Fern Britton came top. I can see that – I imagine she’d be quite dirty in the sack.

Snape, from Harry Potter. Not Alan Rickman..Snape.
January 4, 2011 at 7:53 am |
Silence-of-the-lambs era Jodie Foster. I think it’s more her character in that film actually. Something about the accent…
January 4, 2011 at 2:54 am |
Matt Smith. I know he’s a bit weird looking, but there’s something about his hands…
January 4, 2011 at 12:14 am |
Monty Don, Nigel Slater and Clare Balding (I think). Shhh x

Jian Ghomeshi from CBC radio – though I am an expat Canadian living in Florida, and don’t get CBC radio here.
January 4, 2011 at 12:02 am |
Alan Davies – but mostly as super sleuth Jonathan Creek. His floppy hair has some sort of alluring charm.
January 3, 2011 at 10:44 pm |
Snoop Dogg. Yes he’d sell me up the river for drugs and he does resemble a rat but his arrogant swagger gets me everytime.
January 3, 2011 at 10:35 pm |
Paul Weller or Jarvis Cocker minus the beard haha
January 3, 2011 at 10:32 pm |
I’m 20 and in love with Rik Mayall…. it’s the voice *swooon*
January 3, 2011 at 10:29 pm |
Steve Jobs. Oh Lordy! And I’m 17, and not ashamed 🙂
January 3, 2011 at 10:25 pm |
Alexander Armstrong, even when he’s dressed as a veggie cafe lady or is just the disembodied voice of a computer on The Sarah Jane Mysteries
January 3, 2011 at 10:23 pm |
My wife used to have a crush on, consecutively, Tommy from Ground Force then Ronaldinho
January 3, 2011 at 10:22 pm |
NIGELLA LAWSON. Oh my word she is hot! Yes, I’m 15 and she is old enough to be my grandma but… OOFT. it’s not just her tits either, those EYES.

David Caruso, who plays Horatio in CSI: Miami.
Weird because he’s about 3 times older than I and ginger.
January 3, 2011 at 10:15 pm |
ermmmm ruby wax……i feel ashamed admitting it, she just seems dirty
January 3, 2011 at 10:15 pm |
Ben Goldacre, Robin Ince, Simon Singh, Chris Addison… I just love geeks
January 3, 2011 at 10:12 pm |
Two words: Jeremy Vine. Clever, witty *and* a hottie! I’m not at all ashamed…
January 4, 2011 at 10:24 am |
if you want him, please take him now so we don’t have to listen to one more second of his bollocks
January 3, 2011 at 10:12 pm |
Richard herring but not his face just when i listen his podcast however on mastermind he was pretty fit however he’s 42 and i’m 17 so a bit strange 🙂
January 6, 2011 at 5:17 pm |
Luckily you’re 1 year away from his target age range. Which should be just in time for his breakup and resulting breakdown. Good luck!
January 3, 2011 at 10:09 pm |
Jeremy Paxman. His sneering arrogance is both irritating and irresistible.
January 3, 2011 at 10:08 pm |
Oh dear – ever since I saw him speaking at the Frontline Club after the first lot of Iraq papers were leaked earlier this year, I have had a MASSIVE THUMPING CRUSH on Australian silver fox Julian Assange. But not as massive as the people who came up with http://julianassangeisgorgeous.tumblr.com. They really, really, really seriously love the man. Yes, he’s the foxiest librarian not to actually be a librarian, but still…
January 3, 2011 at 10:08 pm |
Condoleezza Rice

I’m not convinced that fancying a taut, young hot ex-model counts as a particularly strange crush.
