I just, this morning, noticed a presenter I had never seen before - [Geeta Guru-Murthy](https://www.google.com/search?q=Geeta+Guru-Murthy&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=rcs&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=J73gU5SxB4mPyATT6oLYDA&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ&biw=1600&bih=777#channel=rcs&q=Geeta+Guru-Murthy+BBC&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&tbm=isch).  
A drop-dead gorgeous woman with brains and a British accent? _(swoon)_

Who’s your new (or current) crush?
