Maybe they aren’t great at acting, maybe you love them for nostalgic reasons or because they seem like a great person IRL!

Nicky has been through so much in his life but comes across so sweet and kind. I've always liked Davina ever since her 1st fitness dvd. She got me into fitness & out of my pnd

He really does. He's so always been so lovely and non judgemental when he's written about his birth mother.

The moment he was revealed as being one of the masked singers and Davina ran on stage to hug him had me 😥 (it's on YT if you've not seen it).

The one that surprises me the most is Jane McDonald 🫣. She just seems to embrace the naffness that surrounds her and I respect that.

I love Jane McDonald! Her song covers at the end of some of her cruise shows remind me of the music video send ups that they used to do on Smack the Pony and I am totally here for that 😂

Oh also Michael Spicer (room next door) I’m not a laugh out loud, spit my tea out type person but I have properly laughed at his videos.

Rosie Marcel (Jag Naylor in Holby city) I loved her character, I think she’s beautiful and now she’s “retired” from acting she spends her life rescuing dogs…what’s not to like?

Nicky was adopted himself so he truly understands what some of them are going through.

I really like the toned down, less crayzee version of Davina too. Wish she could be like that on all her shows.

Domhnall Gleeson - such a lovely actor and seems like a great bloke
Rachel McAdams - again a wonderful actress and so sweet
Dakota Johnson - funny and seems lovely
Tim Minchin - talented and funny

It's context-specific but really love Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell in Long Lost Family- they are each so sensitive, kind and quiet at the important moments. They never make the show about themselves. I had no particular view about them before LLF, but I watch it now for their masterclass in empathy.

Jason Manford.. we go to see him every year... brilliant comedian.. but also down to earth.. does loads of things for people for free.. setting up padel and sports clubs... just meeting joe public for a game of padel if he's in their area.. going to the local pub where he's doing shows and joining in with the karaoke..
In lock down he picked up old people for free and took them to their appointments or took shopping to them
Plus l think he's bloody handsome! Going to see him again this Autumn.

Candida from Pulp. Adore her

ConnieHeart · 08/07/2025 20:18

Kenneth Brannagh comes across quite down to earth I think

Also Olly Alexander seems like a real.sweetie

beguilingeyes · 08/07/2025 20:14

Haven't quite got over her miming at Glastonbury though (Dolly).

I’ve spent the past year trying to convince my DH that whilst flying anywhere domestically in the US is extortionately expensive……DC3 getting into Dollywood for free kinda cancels out the cost of her flight from where we live to Tennessee so really it’s the best value holiday we are going to get 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😂😂
He just says he’d rather wait until we are back in the UK, and have a week all inclusive somewhere for half the price…..and I guess he’s right. But I also don’t think you can put a price on Dollywood 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😂

Go! I've been to Dollywood and the best bit is the cabins you stay in. Ours had three floors with a hot tub on the balcony of the top floor. Heaven

I also developed a crush on Steve Pemberton when he was on Taskmaster (and Nick Mohammed who was on the same series as him). I think Reece Shearsmith is on the next series so I might end up with a crush on him too.

Reece Shearsmith was so funny in Car Share and the outtakes are bloody hilarious. He comes across like a right laugh!

Oh and Henning Wehn. I'm sure it's all an act but he comes across as incredibly earnest and likeable, even when joking about awful things.

We love Henning in our house.
Anytime he's on the WILTY panel you know it's going to be a great show.

Emma Willis. She seems so real and down to earth, caring and lovely.

concreteschoolyard · 08/07/2025 19:26

I have a real soft spot for Donny Osmond. I can't even explain why.

Tom Cruise, for sure.

I changed my opinion of Tom Cruuse a bit after listening to this…
