Teenage Crushes - Part TwoFreddie Woo writes: I've still got weird feelings for a well-known female TV presenter from the 1980s. I'm now in my forties, work in the same building as her and she follows me on a number of social networking sites. And now, she knows about it.
Tell us about the teenage crushes that still make you go wobbly.

I can't be arsed to see if anyone's beaten me to itbut surely I can't be the only person who thought Jet from Gladiators was the finest example of womanhood even to be forced to wear a godawful lycra two-piece in the name of baiting dribbling teenage boys into watching an otherwise-shite discharge of testosterone masquarading as television? Which I accept is an unnecessarily over-long way of saying "phwoar, that bird's got nice tits", as was the parlance in the mid-90's.
Mind you, I went to an all-boys school. If she hadn't been brightening up our Saturday nights we'd have wanked over Lightning, or, god help us, Scorpio.
Having said that, Gladiators was on after Baywatch. Is there a sub-committee of the commissioning team at ITV entitled "Will boys wank over this", or, assuming they went to University, "Norks & Lycra Threshold Assurance"? This raises further questions, such as - am I being too kind assuming that ITV have commissioning teams, sub-committess, or indeed anything more complicated that tyre swings and bananas? And if this group does exist, what the fuck have they been doing for the last 15 years?!
Sorry, went off topic a bit there. Jet was fit. Yeah. After Gladiators she had a stint on some bobbins Sky One show called Games World where she pretended to be an expert on all things Mega Drive. I can't remember a single damn thing she said. I do remember the PVC dress she wore, though. And so do all of you.
