He may dress like a maths teacher, but we love the rapier wit and self-deprecating charm of this man who, let’s face it, is no Anderson Cooper in the looks department. When we watch him hilariously dissect the week’s news in monologues that never fail to make us laugh and learn something (YouTube him, people), Crush turns into the heart-eyed emoji. Unfortunately for us, Oliver is married to a US Iraq war veteran, so rest assured that we are keeping a respectful distance (even though he recently appeared on The Simpsons, which is like catnip to Crush). Oliver is no stranger to a spot of bother and his latest political swipe, this time at the Thai military’s ‘happiness campaign’ (basically a national programme of enforced fun), has apparently been brought to the attention of the Thai army chief. Oops, there goes that holiday in Koh Samui! But no matter — if Crush has anything to do with it, the only place Oliver will be going soon is home to Blighty where we long to see more of him. Why should America get to keep all the really cool guys?
