Option 1 Podcast - S04E11 - Sex Symbols

In this episode of the Option One Podcast, Rhian Sugden and Oliver Tompkins get into celebrity crushes, modern sex symbols and the often surprising rules of attraction. From Marilyn Monroe and Pamela Anderson to OnlyFans creators and social media stars, has the internet changed who we idolise forever? The conversation takes some hilarious turns as Rhian reveals her unexpected attraction to Louis Theroux, while Oli makes the case for Prue Leith and Burt Reynolds. Along the way, they debate what really makes someone attractive, from confidence and a sense of humour to qualities you just can’t explain. They also explore changing dating standards, online creator culture and the meaning of fame today. Have internet personalities taken the place of familiar favourites like Lucy Pinder, or is there still something special about a traditional pop culture icon? Plus, Rhian reflects on her career as a glamour model, sharing what it’s like to live in the public eye, handle online attention and hold on to your confidence in the media industry.
