Gethin Jones reveals his crush on older woman Anthea Turner

TV presenter Gethin Jones, 36, has confessed he has a crush on fellow former Blue Peter presenter Anthea Turner, 54.

“I saw Anthea Turner at a golf tournament and she’s so pretty, so hot, I couldn’t really talk,” said Gethin.

“She’s fit, anyway, but the fact she used to be a Blue Peter presenter her even fitter. Imagine if we got married,” he added. “Can we start this campaign? Imagine the animals!”

The TV presenter’s latest project is a new quiz show for ITV Daytime called 21st Question, in which 11 contestants compete to get on the ‘power spot’. Whoever’s standing on the power spot when the 21st and final question is asked gets the chance to win £40,000.

Gethin revealed how he gets the contestants relaxed and at ease before recording begins.

“The people [who come on] love a quiz and are quite determined, but put them in front of a camera and it can change things, so we do all [sorts of] things beforehand; dancing and having a laugh together. I don’t sit in a room and just say hello, I engross myself in the whole process.”

21st Question begins on ITV on Monday, August 4, 5.00pm.
