Daily Mirror Blind Item

In today's Daily Mirror, we asked: Which ageing crooner is so infatuated with a younger woman who works for him - he's taken a vow of celibacy until he gets her? The fella in question has bombarded her with roses by the dozen and has even penned songs for her from across the Atlantic.

Your extra clue: It's quite touching when you think about it.

    I'm thinking the other way around - American crooner ! Tony Bennett ??

    Hmm. . . Tom Kelly? He's an American songwriter who co-wrote the Divinyls classy hit single: "I Touch Myself". It may be obscure, but that's where the clues led me.

    If its a British source would Bryan Ferry qualify as an "ageing crooner"?

    It's GOT to be David Cassidy. Wasn't he the answer to the revealed blind last year about the aging crooner who kept hitting on a much younger woman at a party? And he has a song called All I Want to Do Is Touch You and an album called Touch of Blue.

    Good Lord, I need to go to bed. I read that as, 'aging coroner' and got really creeped out. Would this be Robbie Williams?
