Secret valentines: celebrities reveal their hush-hush crushes

Selena Gomez

Secret crush: Shia LaBeouf

In June 2011 Selena Gomez was in make-up preparing for a TV interview when her crew told her she had some fans waiting in a nearby room, in fact it was Shia LaBeouf. When the Disney star realised she'd been set-up she tried to make a getaway, with Shia chasing after her. She gushed to the Transformers actor 'I'm so sorry to bother you. I admire you', to which Shia replied 'Thanks for being so sweet to me'. When the blushing actress/singer retuned to her dressing room she excitedly said 'Oh my gosh, he's so handsome!'

Watch out Bieber!

Russell Brand and Helen Mirren

Secret crushes: eachother

When Russell and Helen worked together on the 2011 remake of Arthur they had some well publicised off-screen chemistry, not surprising given that, back in 2008, Russell had declared his feelings for the actress, 30 years his senior: 'There’s something about her that drives me wild. She’s so sexy and enchanting, just look at her form... They’re going to have to hold me back when we start work. I’ll be all over her. I don’t know how I’ll get any work done'

Helen reciprocated, telling The Mirror 'I heard he fancies me. I fancy Russell too. I mean, who can resist a man that looks so good in tight trousers? He's absolutely lovely.'

Is Helen the reason Russell and Katy Perry split? Well, no. Don't be ridiculous.

Britney Spears

Secret crush: Prince William

Before she was a twice-divorced mum-of-two, and Kate Middleton had her foot jammed in the palace door, the then-wholesome singer fancied her chances with the future heir to the British throne.

Secret crush: Brad Pitt

The Superman Returns star's illicit lust for the one of the world's sexiest men needs little explanation. 'Brad was always the man for me,' gushed Kate in a 2007 interview. 'I just remember him in A River Runs Through It; he was so cute. I was about 12 then and I thought he was really, really, really, really sexy. So I thought Brad was pretty hot, and he still is. He's very handsome.' OK Kate, we get it!
