The Squeee

It's a bit early in the year to decide on the weirdest celebrity crushes of 2013, isn't it? Every year, Heat magazine makes a list of unconventional-looking men and ask women to vote for who they think is the "weirdest crush". I came across the longlist earlier this year, and was absolutely puzzled as to why many of those men were on the list. I mean, Hugh Bonneville?! Lord Grantham is a dish! What's weird about him?! Anyway. I voted for a few, although I don't remember exactly who they were, but now, the top ten have been revealed. I snaffled the list from Virgin Media .

It's that time of year again. I had forgotten about this, but watching Russell Howard's Good News last night, he mentioned being on the list and being slightly miffed about it.

Can't really argue with the Stig being a stranger choice of a crush than the other Top Gear boys, all things considered... I couldn't find the list on the Heat website itself, but I did manage to track down the top 10 eventually somewhere else , so here goes: 10.

Michael McIntyre , also a stand-up comedian 6. James May , geeky TV-presenter and Top Gear 's "Captain Slow" 5. Simon Cowell , of music business fame and famous for being mean on shows like The X Factor , American Idol and ...
