First Celebrity Crush

My first celebrity crush is the theme of today’s blog challenge blog.  If I’m totally honest, I don’t know if I can remember who my first celebrity crush was.  I’ve never really been one for lusting after celebrities.

First Celebrity Crush

I don’t know if a character in a children’s television programme really counts as a celebrity, or if you could call it anything like a crush, but I used to like the character Ziggy Greaves in Grangehill.  I would have been somewhere between the ages of eight and ten when he was in the programme, and a bit young for crushes as such.

Later Crushes

When I was a teenager, I had my only real celebrity crush, on Robbie Williams from Take That.  Like a lot of girls my age, I liked Take That, and it was Robbie who appealed to me.  It helped that he was a ‘local’ celebrity, coming from Stoke, which wasn’t a million miles away from my home.  I think I used to imagine that I might run into him one day, conveniently forgetting that being famous he was hardly likely to be wandering down the street in Hanley.

My kid’s crushes

All of my children are a bit young for crushes as yet, but no doubt in years to come they’ll have their walls adorned with posters of various celebrities.  I wonder who will be popular when they are teenagers and who will be their first celebrity crush?
