I have a secret crush that I have never ever admitted online. It’s someone who I ‘stalked’ some 13 years ago, after G and I went to a specific destination to look for him. I never found him (I think he was hiding). As a student, I wore both a ring and a badge with his image on it. I loved him, truly.
Over time, the ring and the badge have been locked into my most precious memory box. A postcard, with his smiling face on it, decorates the wall next to my desk. He made a film, or two, but they never satisfied my needs. All of these things simply reminded my heart of unrequited love and failed ‘stalking’.
But, (and this is the bit that has made me squeal and unable to get to sleep last night) next week I am off in search of him again and this time I have my 3 fabulous kiddies to help me. We are determined.
So, oh go on, guess my celebrity crush?
(if you are one of the few who do know this inner most secret or know where I am going, ssssssh)

Jimmy Savile? Daniel O’ Donnell? (Please not Daniel O’ Donnell.)
For a moment I thought you were going to say something lurid about Frans from Guess Who – when Bill was clearly a lot more handsome. I’ve drawn the line at googling ‘80s heart throbs’ though.
Does he have foppish hair?
Fran is my favourite from Guess Who. I love my gingers.
And, in answer to your question, sometimes he has foppish hair but is not known for it. I think his son has it (but that’s a little known fact).

Gingers. What’s good about gingers? In France they have a saying that gingers smell when it rains. My favourite Guess Who man was Charles. He had a big ‘tache and looked like an ex-army officer. He was inspirational.
Please, god, not Chris Evans.
Ok, just so we’re straight – my crush is in no way ginger.
Matt – I think I liked Bill too. I love Guess Who.
Captain Black – noooooooo, not even close.

OMG I have no idea and given your love of Simon Cowell I’m a bit scared to guess!! Could you give us another teeny weeny clue?
C x
Andrew Biswell?
John Updike?
Neil Gaiman?
Jon Ronson?
Carol – a wee clue. I’m flying in to Paris.
Mark – sssssh, don’t be telling everyone I love Andrew Biswell! You’re very far off the mark… (hee hee)

I know, I know….and you are a big spoil sport not letting me say who
dj – sssssssssssssssssssssssh! x
Gerard Depardieu? Jean Reno?
Oh, I don’t know!!
C x
Noooooo, miles and miles and miles apart…
Clues – in France and worrying about wearing my Oscar the Grouch t-shirt to see him, in case he’s jealous x
Mickey Mouse?
Nope…
I have NO idea… but would just like to say that it was my cousins who created the game Guess Who! Exciting, eh?! Yes, they are rather wealthy, no they didn’t pass the wealth on to me.
I am so impressed! Wow and wow! Are any of the faces based on them? x
I think so! Can’t quite remember, they designed it in the 1970s… They’re amazingly creative people, in their late 70s now and still designing games.
Wow! I am so impressed! They made my childhood happier.
That is so lovely, I will definitely tell them!
Ok, well I haven’t a clue but I’m go to throw Johnny Depp out there, cos he’s just lovely
oh, if and only! You can throw Johnny in and on and wherever you wish… but, alas, nope.
It’s not poor old Kermit is it???!
A mighty fine guess! I used to have a Kermie when I was younger and then I bit a chunk out of his nose and couldn’t look at him again. So not Kermie, because I’d not expect to find Kermie in France… x
Is it a real person (ie not animated?) cos Goofy’s son’s hair’s a bit fopptastic…
ooooh, you’re good!
I thought it was going to be Chris Evans when I saw the picture. Which would have been spooky because I love him only slightly less than I love Simon x
Nooooo, not Chris Evans!
I know…I know…
It’s Uncle Travelling Mac from the Fraggles!!!
C x
Ha! you’re in the right kind of world, but still so far away. “Dance your cares away.. doom doom…” x
Lassie?
Oooooh, kind of near…
Brad Pitt?
Antonio Banderas?
nope! far too sophisticated for my tastes
I was going to guess Kermit too because I went to see him at Albert Dock years ago and got very over-excited!
nope and I even think you know where I’m going
Haha! Yes! I’d completely forgotten (not just that you were going, but is existence). I need more sleep.
First of all what’s wrong with red heads!!! I’m married to one and Edward is one (ohh Edward!!). If it’s Edward Cullen then hands off, he’s taken, I saw him first, and I’ll fight you for him
Seriously I have no idea. Back in the 80′s it was Morten Harket for me, not him is it?
Red heads are my favourite! And no, so far away from my crush. Guess I’d better tell people…
Cute!
thank you!
