The schoolgirl crushes we all had in the ‘90s
1. Backstreet Boys
The boyband pin-ups of every teenage girl's bedroom wall in the 90s. Nick was our fave!
2. Leonardo DiCaprio
Titanic. Romeo & Juliet. The 90s were a total Leo-fest.
3. Paul Nicholls
In the days before our home workout hero there was another Joe Wicks we lusted after.
Sigh, EastEnders hasn't been the same since ...
4. David Boreanaz
Oh Angel, you’re still our favourite vampire.
5. Jeremy Edwards
Pretty much the only reason we watched Hollyoaks ...
6. Gary Lucy
… apart from Gary – aka Luke Morgan – obvs.
7. Kavana
The ‘I Can Make You Feel Good’ pop star was one of our faves. Hands up if you had this Smash Hits poster on your wall!

We couldn’t wait to watch Neighbours after school … especially when Billy Kennedy was on TV.

Although we also fancied Robbie.
Oh who are we kidding, we loved them all!

Mostly to spot our favourite character, Shane Parrish.

Our undisputed favourite in Blue.
16. Craig David
Still love him now. Fact
17. Jason Priestley and Luke Perry
Our first TV glimpse of LA life, we were obsessed with Beverly Hills 90210 … mainly becuase of these two.

We couldn’t get enough of this Emmerdale star.

Those hips. So hot.
23. Ronan Keating
We loved all of Boyzone tbh, but Ronan was our fave.
24. Sean Maguire
Actor, singer … was there nothing he couldn’t do?
25. Will Smith
We had posters of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air plastered all over our walls. All together now ...
‘Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down … '
26. Keanu Reeves
How we wished we could swap places with Sandra Bullock in Speed … or his surfboard in Point Break!
27. Peter Andre
We sooooo wanted to be his ‘Mysterious Girl’ ...
28. Jamie Theakston
We were glued to ‘Live and Kicking’ on Saturday mornings when Jamie was on.
