Karl the weird Brit crush?

[Paute]

Ladies, who is your ‘weird’ Brit crush?
Heat Magazine is doing a an online poll for their 2010 “Weird Crush.” The list includes such notable and varied names as Hugh Laurie, Matt Smith, Benedict Cumberbatch, David Mitchell, James Corden, Simon Cowell, Chris Moyles and Karl Pilkington.
What’s most notable about this poll is that, frankly, what is weird to them is the most attractive to me. I have not yet met a woman who does not think Laurie is hot. Cumberbatch is likewise attractive in a very curmudgeonly sense, although I tend more toward Dylan Moran, which possibly explains why I remain single. And don’t even get me started on Mitchell. The inclusion of him, Alexander Armstrong, Russell Howard, Corden, and Jason Manford, amongst other comics, shows that women really like guys who make them laugh.
In any case, this is definitely a list to indulge your guilty pleasures in. And if you lust after David Cameron or Nick Clegg (Ed Miliband didn’t make the list) you’re in luck. Or Derren Brown. Or the guy in the Go Compare ads, the inclusion of which didn’t get a wonderful response on my British TV Twitter list. But different strokes for different folks.
So for the women around here, who didn’t make the list that you could consider to be your “weird” British celebrity crush?

Something I forgot to add to my post:

How come Smerch isn't on here?! Don't get me wrong, he's lush, but wouldn't he be considered a weird crush?

Hey Robyn, I've been refreshing the front page of your blog ALL DAY for some more Smerch. No pressure darling. :)

OMG! I know I have...let's say some alternative taste...but Nick Griffin?? Never. Ever.

He's not 'weird' anymore. Not that he has ever been weird. And I've got a lot of smerch on my blog, if you need a fix :)

This. But I did update with a nice candid shot for ya ;).

[Stantza]

Lovely job, cheers Robyn. :)

Actually to tell the truth I've already been through all 52 pages of your blog....i admit it :)

And LoveSmerch yours is next.

Good to know :)

Btw, everybody should vote for Karl :) I was relieve to see that none of the Top Gear lads where on the list. But to be honest, Jeremy and James have won in the past - so it didn't put me in an awkward position :)

The dream is that they're gonna do a podcast to celebrate if he wins, innit?

[Rickydiculous]

I voted for Karl. He doesn't look half bad with a bit of scruff and that green hat on:



I think Ricky's right, when he's clean shaven his head looks so much rounder.

[beat oven]

I like how James Buckley is listed as 'Jay from The Inbetweeners'... but yeah the K man needs to win.

Russell Howard's not weird. Blondish, nerdy type from bristol....wait.

I see where you're going there.

[Robyn]

noms. I love me scruff.
