Mothers on an internet discussion board have this week been declaring their bodily yearning for Mr Bloom from the CBeebies gardening show Mr Bloom's Nursery. "He can bed me down for the night anytime," said one. "How many of you ladies would be willing to cuddle his courgette?" enthused another. This is a show aimed at toddlers and yet something about the wholesome, ecologically sound Mr Bloom (actor Ben Faulks) turns these women to yielding, fertile compost in his presence.
And he's not the only CBeebies performer with a fanclub of horny housewives. There's clearly something about the asexual, incessantly perky children's entertainer that pops the cork of a particularly niche viewer. CBeebies' omnipresent cash-cow Justin Fletcher (or Mr Tumble as he's sometimes known) is perhaps the most unlikely of these. An amiable collision of Keith Chegwin and Billy Bunter, he has attracted similarly ardent praise from internet posters. "I find Justin quite cute, I have a thing for chubby men!!" was posted on a thread entitled Pervy thoughts about Mr Tumble. A whole thread!
