Camelot.
One word, and yet so many mental images. Horses and castles, fair maidens in silly sleeves and sillier pointy hats. And knights.
Ah me, the knights.
Strong, Brave, Kind and Bold.
Sparkling in eye, firm in chin (*cough*), witty in speech.
At least until they climb out of the metal suits, and you see them in their tights and pointy shoes. And they look so much shorter when not on horseback, don’t you think?
Anyway. Knights.
Fancy taking the family to see some real live genuine (Ish) ones?
Well, here’s your chance.
One lucky winner will receive a 1 night break at Park Hall Hotel, in one of their superb themed bedrooms, including a full English breakfast plus entrance to Camelot Theme Park for up to a family four, worth over £200! Surrounded by over 100 acres of beautiful wooded countryside, Camelot and Park Hall are an idyllic country retreat and provide an excellent location for fun-packed short breaks for families.
Visitors can lose themselves amid the thrill of jousting knights, fabulous falconry displays, a spell-binding magic show – plus rides galore for children young and old!
So. How to win this treat for the family?
Tis easy. You just need to ‘fess up.
If you were to pick one person to gallop up on a horse, hidden by armour (or a floaty veil, of course. We’re not in the Middle Ages now y’know) and carry you off – who would you choose? Yes, we want to know… nay, we DEMAND to know…
Who is your Guilty Crush? And not content with such a paltry question, we do ask thee to expand – why? What does make them so desirable to your eyes when all else are blind to their charms?

Going to be boring and say hubby. He works away all week so would be rather fab to have him ride up on a stallion up
Ok..honestly? It’d have to be Colin Farrell! There is something about his rugged good looks and of course the Irish accent which sends me into a school girl spin even today – I have had a thing about him for erm..12years?!! I love his confidence or should that be arrogance? i think he’d look spectacular dressed in a knights armour and galloping to my rescue a top a white stallion..Ok ok I have thought about this too much..!
It would have to be David Tenannt – just adore him and if he could come dressed as Doctor Who then even better!!
Where to start. Idris Elba and verily escort me wherever he likes! Big … biceps, dark twinkly eyes, rugged charm. He can just turn up in white vest and jeans and whisk me off in his sportscar – preferably with the top off. A cabriolet would be nice too!
My shameful crush is Spartan from Gladiators…not exactly the thinking girl’s love interest. More brawn than brain! But the thought of him coming to my rescue simply gives me the jitters! Especially if he’s wearing his Spartan outfit underneath his armour…that leather skirt gets me everytime! x
Johnny Depp. Maybe a pirate’s life is the life for me!
Oh heck. Go on then I confess – Matt Cardle. With the beard, and he can bring One Direction along with him if he wants.
It would have to be Robbie Williams
gush…..ok I’m very happy to imagine him naked under the amour too 
please??
You want a shameful crush?
Michael Praed. As he was in the CLASSIC 80′s TV show “Robin of Sherwood”. Long dark hair, gorgeous hazel eyes. And he looks GREAT in a suit of armour on a horse!
OOOH he was Gorgeous !
I wish I could say Robbie Williams, at least that’s credible! Mine was Nick Haywood from Haircut 100. It was the nice clean Aran sweaters that did it. I slept under a wall-mounted cupboard so I stuck a poster of him up there so I could see him from my pillow. The shame…..
Not everyone gets it but for me it would have to be Daniel Craig, he is just amazingly gorgeous (I don’t even mean in those shorts, I think he looks hotter in a suit!)
I read this and it took me about 10 seconds and then I remembered, oh how could I have forgotten you, I have not seen you around so for so long but I remember you very well. I spent my teenager years lusting over you and watching a very bad tv show just so I can see you. Yes Dean Kane I am talking about you. Oh man I still think your hot.
For those of you who dont know who he is here is a link to my blog where I posted up a great pic

Now this is a confession but I have, since a teenager, had a strange crush on the late Sid James (of Carry On film fame!) I think it must be the older man thing and that laugh he had was so dirty.
Told you it was strange!
@Bobbity666
Sorry. That’s just weird.
*shuffles* I will shamefully raise my hand and confess to that one too, Lou.
OH Dear I am showing my age here, but I can’t see me refusing to ride off into the sunset with Colin Firth
My Crush (apart from hubby) is Jared Leto. He is soooo fit and he cant arf sing too! Love to get on the back of a horse with him!
I’m fairly sure I’m going to be completely on my own with this one but my guilty crush is Peter Crouch. I mean I can’t be completely off my rocker as Abi Clancy didn’t think he was bad looking either! It’s just something about his lanky gawkiness that melts my heart. And his robot dance? Totally makes my toes curl ;op
I’ve been watching and enjoying everyone’s guilty crush’s with blatant enthusiasm (though some have been a bit rubbish – what’s so guilty about Robbie Williams, huh?).
But now I’m forced to comment.
Peter Crouch?
SERIOUSLY??
So imaging it can’t be my beloved husband who of course would be my first choice (…just in case he reads this!) I have to admit **while blushing** it would be… Taylor Lautner . Why? The Arms! I’m not usually into muscley blokes but I have a bit of a thing for arms! And his are yum!
Now you may think he’s a popular crush, maybe not so embarassing, maybe not if I was 16, but I am a grown woman with children! And I have a crush on a warewolf!
Tom Cruise – weird scientology stuff aside, he’s been my guilty pleasure since Top Gun.
When I was about 12 I went to Camelot. Obviously I had a massive crush on Sir Lancelot so when I spotted him sitting on a wall with one of the other knights I asked my dad to take a photo. Cue embarrassing parents and their overly loud “ooh, do you fancy him?” Not helped at all by Sir L. calling me his Maid Marion and kissing my hand. I was reminded of this repeatedly over the next few years and it became a bit of a family joke. As my son is now into Mike the Knight I mentioned a trip to Camelot to my mum recently, seems it has not been forgotten. “We all know why you want to go there…” Hopefully that load of waffle will distract you from the fact that I love Chris Jarvis. *runs and hides*
For me it would have to be Ryan Gosling, strong arms, stunning to look at and a real gentleman. Dark and brooding too! Yep, he could scoop me up anyday!
I would have to say Shemar Moore. He plays an FBI agent in Criminal Minds. He is rather delicious. and is definitely on the top of my “list”
Weeeell without a doubt it would have to be the very lovely James Hetfield from Metallica. And I don’t think hubby would mind either as he’s a big Metallica fan too!

(the comment above is mine too but it defaulted to my wrong email address? I’ve been having issues with my account as you will know from my tweets!)
Oh God, I already confessed mine – which is truly shameful – on Him Me and Three’s Ten on Tuesday last week. Since it’s out there once, I may as well put it out there again.
Simon Cowell.
*runs and hides*
Oh dear God, so many to choose from. Does it have to be embarrassing? I really don’t want to admit to that. Ok, it has to be Dr. Carter from ER (otherwise known as Noah Wyle)
I have a bit of a thing for muscley men with shaved heads, you know like the total opposite of my husband! So mine would be Vin Diesel and he would have the strength to lift me up on his horse and take me away into the sunset! Mich x
If you could resurrect Bodie and Doyle and have them hand brake slide, through the obligatory dust onto my drive, in trousers so tight, you do know what religion they are……….no need for a steed just the Capri will do and in 70′s sultry ‘bird’ style………..I’ll be waiting!
Not at all shameful, but very true..I would love it to be my dad. He is battling the big C at the mo, with a 6 month prognosis, so if he was to whisk me off my feet I would be eternally grateful.
I have no idea why and I never admit this while watching Masterchef but it would have to be Michel Roux Junior. Maybe it’s a talent thing… and I do like my food!! Eek can’t believe you have this in writing!
Would have to be James Martin, I sadly saw him when I was visiting the Good Food Show, wandering around the stalls and stalked him, until hubby saw the drooling and I had to pretend it was the cake stand I was lusting after.
I would want him in armour and bearing nibbles!!
I know it is not a viable option, what with him liking the boys not the girls but I have always had a thing for Neil Patrick Harris. As a teenager I was mad about Doogie Howser and as an adult you just can’t beat the clean cut Barney in How I Met Your Mother.
Yep, think that it pretty embarrassing.
No questions asked – Jason Statham!
Many are tempting, many could be on that horse, but at the end of the day got to plump for ‘im indoors – he gets me, he adores me, we never run out of things to say, and shockngly we still fancy each other ;o)
It has to be Daniel Radcliffe. *PHWOAR!*
He’s not little Harry Potter any more he’s a properly swoonariffic man!
That’s easy, it would be Tom Hardy and he’d be riding bare back and I don’t mean without a saddle!!!
Hm…It has to be the one and only Bruce Willis! I know that he is kind of old now but he looks good!
It has to be Alan Titchmarsh phwoar
got to be David Walliams! Can’t beat someone who makes you laugh
I can only choose one? Damn! In that case I’ll have Jason Statham please!
Joshua Jackson (aka Pacey from Dawsons Creek) *swoon*
@littleboo_21
George Clooney, swwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwonnnnnnnnnnnnn
Um. Mister Maker. *dies*
OK, for a start you can stuff the being sensible bit and opting for the hubby. (Love ya really!) If it was down to a choice of the hubby galloping up on a horse, or Sean Bean, then I’d be elbowing the husband out of the way and jumping on Sean’s horse and charging off into the sunset.
Think it’s that rough and ready Yorkshire charm, myself…..
None of that “Got to be sensible and opt for the husband” from me.
)
Ooh, no.
If Sean Bean and the husband were to gallop up on a big horse side by side, I’d be elbowing the husband out of the way to get to Sean and we’d charge away across the countryside and into the sunset together.
(Love ya really! Although you’ve no chance against Sean Bean on his horse.
I blame the rough and ready Yorkshire charm, myself….
Oh no – do I really have to tell? Ok, but I’m doing it for the kids…
My EXTREMELY TOP SECRET crush and the man I would most like to be my knight in shining armour is….
Don Johnson
…but I feel I must caveat this with the fact that he MUST travel back in time from his Nash Bridges era on his trusty horse. I don’t want him rocking up on his mule as a 62 year old wrinkle bag!
Yes – he is 32 years older than me BUT I have been in love with him since I was 14 (I used to creep downstairs and watch from the hall through the glass doors) and if he travelled back from the past – i.e. 1996 then he would only be 46 and therefore that would be less Grandad-y.
Hmmmm…that’s my entry ‘don’ then.
*Heads off to dream about her knight on horseback… er…. I mean a family trip to Camelot*
