Chris Ramsey reveals his first celebrity crush and parks Twitter frenzy

Chris Ramsey has revealed his first ever celebrity crush and it's a person many other people also had a thing for growing up.

South Shields comedian and Strictly star Chris appeared on Alan Carr's Play Your Cards Right reboot with wife Rosie on Saturday night and before going on to lose against Eamonn Holmes and wife Ruth Langsford, the couple both revealed the first famous faces to be the object of their affections.

And Chris' is one many people will have had when watching a certain Saturday night TV show in the 90s. Chris admitted to Alan that his first crush was Jet from Gladiators, joking: "The first woman who stole my heart!"

A glance at Twitter revealed that plenty of viewers watching the show also had a thing for Jet. One guy tweeted: "I very much doubt I'm alone here. Jet from Gladiators," and a second reacted: "Jet is still mine."

Gladiators' own Twitter account picked up on Chris' admission, as well as Alan admitting he had a thing for Wolf, tweeting: "It’s Saturday night on @ITV and @IAmChrisRamsey just admitted his very first celebrity crush was our very own @jet_loves while #AlanCarr fancied Wolf! The 90s ruled."

Their tweet prompted a Gladiators Twitter love-in, with one fan responding: "Trojan ruled! He was (is) an utterly beautiful man with a killer smile and fabulous hair," and another posting: "It was Zodiac I had (have) the hots for!"

Rosie admitted that at the age of 14 she had a crush on not one, but all of boyband Five.
