people you fancy but shouldn't (part 99).

Was (re)watching the Old Grey Whistle Test documentary last night and remembered how much of a huge crush I had on latter day presenter (and former Radio 1 DeeJay) Ro Newton.

Bizarrely she left presenting to become a writer/director and was responsible for Take That's Do What You Like promo as well as editing Just Seventeen magazine.

Nice.
