I'm completely obsessed with Chris Packham and imagine he's my husband during sex

DEAR DEIDRE: I HAVE become completely obsessed with a well-known presenter on TV.

I am acting just like a teenager with their first crush.

I have always loved nature programmes and I particularly like Chris Packham.

I have created fantasies where we are married and he is madly in love with me.

In my dreams, we work on shows together, have a beautiful home and our evenings are spent together.

These fantasies are taking over my life. They are all I think about.

I have even bought a framed photo of Chris and hidden it from my partner. We’re both 51.

Now I’m struggling to enjoy sex with my partner unless I imagine he is Chris.

I can’t understand this. I am an intelligent woman and despite knowing nothing can come of it, I am acting like a lovesick teen.

My team and I are working safely from home but we are here to help you as always.

DEIDRE SAYS: This is less a simple crush and more an out-of-control obsession.

You stand to lose all the good things in your life, including your partner, if you let it go on.

There will have been a trigger for this obsession and identifying that will help you let these feelings go.
