To ask which celebrities would be really annoying to be married to?

Inspired by DS obsession with Steve Backshall.

He would be off round the world "too busy to do childcare darling", would come home reeking of bar poo, and would insist on taking the children to play with venomous snakes "it won't hurt them if they don't bother it".

I used to really fancy Keir Starmer, because of the donkeys. Not anymore though. I have also been known to fancy Boris, Johnson not Yeltsin.

Peter Andre, weird, thick, loves himself and only songs one song.

Not a 'celebrity' as such, but you'd have to have the patience of a saint to live with Jacob Rees-Mog. Just seeing him decked out in his little school boy tank top would have me twitching to flick the end of his nose.

Gary Linekar - anti semite/luxury belief peddler- also he’d be under my feet now he’s ’in between jobs’ I hear …

I once randomly shared an otherwise deserted train platform with Ben Fogle. He was on his phone to someone (I think his partner or wife or possibly his PA) and let's just say he did not come across as pleasant. I was quite surprised tbh

Show quote history

He was at the same hotel as me with his kids a few years ago and I have to say that he was very pleasant and affable.

I've tried very hard to think of one that wouldn't piss me off, the fact that most are a 'celebrity' on the basis of very little is enough to get my back up . Maybe Keanu Reeves, he seems lovely, and I think I could probably forgive Tom Hardy almost anything.

He's entitled to advocate for trans and hold those views, he doesn't have the right to tell women off for being a woman who doesn't share his views.

Show quote history

I agree.

Ive always quite liked David Tennant but after reading all the hate I feel like I’ve missed something!

I think Chris Martin seems like a nice guy but would make you hop on a spinning bike to power the kettle whenever you want a cuppa and I’m too lazy for that….

I agree with those that have said Ricky Gervais. He seems really grumpy and loves animals a bit too much. I quite like a bit of dark and dry humour, and some of his award show speeches crack me up, but he comes across like he tried too hard to be offensive sometimes, I can imagine he’d be quite nasty in an argument.

Also agree with:
Jeremy Clarkson
Gary Linekar

Also a bit baffled over the thought of people drooling over Ben Fogle…

Mylene Klass - she’s now doing an advert for Sketchers sandals and her voice is squeaking
also Kylie she’s nasally too

Mark from The Chase - his suits are awful an awful fit and the back of his hair is cut too short up his neck, very off putting . Maybe he’s nice irl

Prince William, He’s only every had the toothy smile and it annoys me

John Travolta or Tom Cruise, or any of them in the Scientology cult.
I just couldn't imagine living under all those batshit 'rules' like no medical interventions etc

Nooooo- is JT into Scientology?!

Nananananana80 · 19/05/2025 21:41

Greg Davies... I'd be walking like a cowboy (and begging for more)

BountifulPantry · 19/05/2025 21:35

Prince Harry… Christ he’d be annoying

Digbyscolleague · 19/05/2025 21:35

She’s not a big celebrity but Carrie Hope Fletcher comes across as so smug and shouty. Although her husband is quite similar so I think they are a good match.
She has also been on 2 really long tours and their child isn’t even 18month and I hate solo parenting!

Funny because every person I know that met him found him absolutely amazing. I can take a guess why someone on Mumsnet finds him insufferable though.

Show quote history

No. He is apparently just insufferable.

Re the Scientology rubbish, how can anyone follow a religion started by someone called Ron?

Thursa · 19/05/2025 21:19

Jim Carrey, seems like he’d always be “on”.

Tom Cruise, not sure he’s straight.

David Beckham, nothing I can put my finger on, just hate him.

Rhaenys · 19/05/2025 21:06

Any really because I’d have to make too many allowances for their career, and I wouldn’t be into that.

Likaom · 19/05/2025 21:06

Robbie Williams - wasn’t he being an annoying twat when his wife was trying to give birth?

CyanMaker · 19/05/2025 21:02

P. Diddy. Beyond annoying and downright dangerous.

Sallyssn · 19/05/2025 20:58

Joe Swash.

James Cordon and Danny Dyer popped in my head.

I've had a few drinks with Danny dyer, vulgar and really big headed

FrustratedC0ffeeDrinker · 19/05/2025 20:53

Wynne Evans of Go Compare “fame”.

SirStanley · 19/05/2025 20:48

Morrissey - love, love, love …. him but no thanks….. all the now very judgy guys we loved - Jarvis, Damon, Brett etc…nope

Wundy · 19/05/2025 20:43

Jeremy Corbyn might possibly make tea but it would be horrible weak milky tea 🤢

Jeremy Clarkson is a confusing one. Absolutely loathed him until I accidentally watched Clarkson's Farm, after which I liked him 🤷‍♀️. Also, his girlfriend seems very nice and grounded and down to earth so she must think he's ok.

David Icke. I would either never believe a word that came out of his mouth, or I'd be in a permanent state of confusion and suspicion.

Laurence Fox - hateful fascist twat

This is a popular view imo: in another corner of the internet is a board with a long-running thread titled "Lawrence Fox - the twat" @Dustmylemonlies .

He really is an odious piece of shit and I feel sorry for Billie Piper. She must have been having some sort of mental health episode when she married him, and is probably embarrassed about it even now.

But she's made a habit of it - she was married to Chris Evans when she was really young. I thought his interest in her was quite dodgy, given the age difference and her youth, and he is sooo annoying.

David Tennant (just annoying & overrated), Eric Clapton - the way he treated Patti Boyd was shocking. Anyone involved with scientology or who looks like they'd spend longer getting ready than me.

Eric Clapton used to go to the Indian restaurant we went to and we sat next to him pretty often. A really deeply unpleasanat oiky man.
