Touchy-feely fan scores a ‘Derek’ hit
From Inquirer tabloid Bandera: TV5 hunk Derek Ramsay admitted that he often falls victim to zealous fans, both girls and gays, who occasionally get too close for comfort.
During a “Kidlat” road show in Davao City, Ramsay recalled, one gay fan attempted (and succeeded!) in sniffing at his armpits.
Another admirer, a schoolmarmish woman, lost her composure and hugged and kissed Ramsay—
all the while screeching like a banshee.

A female contestant actually took a hands-on approach and reached way too deep into his jeans. “She put her hands in there. That was weird,” Ramsay recalled.
She very likely did not regret it.
