Celebrities that nobody seems to dislike

This will probably bring people out the woodwork to say they hate so and so celebrity but who are the ones that you never really hear a bad word said about them? My nomination is: Dolly Parton.

Agree with Elton John. Don’t like the cut of his jib.

Clawdy · 20/10/2019 18:52

ShirleyPhallus be careful about repeating it, it's been reported.

Confused this thread is full of names of celebrities i find insufferable (grumpy old woman)

4cupsofcoffee · 20/10/2019 18:53

I think we should also include celebrities that are never in tabloids in a bad way. Some of them literally get left alone while others get hounded.

Martin Clunes who pretends to shout at the dog in Doc Martin but voices it later so dog doesnt get upset and scared.

I have a close relative who knew Joanna lumley who says just a top class human being and I trust her judgement completely.

Craig Charles from Red dwarf, I don't think I've ever heard a bad word about him

Lionso · 20/10/2019 18:53

Matt Baker off the One Show? So likeable, and I have never heard a bad word said about him (hoping I now don't find out bad stuff).

Jins · 20/10/2019 18:53

I can’t stand David Attenborough and I knew he’d be one of the first mentioned

BilboBercow · 20/10/2019 18:54

Folks please don't repeat the paedo comment. It's obvious made up bollocks and will be deleted

WombleishofThigh · 20/10/2019 18:54

Bruce Forsyth gave me heebies, I'm afraid.

Beveren · 20/10/2019 18:55

Michael Caine definitely came off the list when he went all right wing and "I'll be OK under Brexit so I don't understand why people are moaning about losing their jobs".

AnyoldAnna · 20/10/2019 18:57

I don’t like Mary Berry either - sorry!

historysock · 20/10/2019 18:58

Can't stand holly Willoughby. Not keen on Fiona Bruce. And whilst I don't dislike David Attenborough, I don't actively like him either.

WombleishofThigh · 20/10/2019 18:58

Nope to Guy Martin too, he makes me irrationally stabby and I hate his sideburns, he looks such a twat.

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 20/10/2019 19:00

Not rttft, but I know loads of folk who can't stand Fiona Bruce or Matt Smith. (Dh is one)
Floella Benjamin.
Dh in his yoof, met Billy Idol when he was in Gen X, he said he was lovely, ignored loads of hangers on and groupies to sit and just tAlk to two sixteen year olds.

DollyParsnip · 20/10/2019 19:01

Caroline Quentin Sent my Dad a little bit starry eyed - a Programme she was in used part of his work place as a rehearsal room and he was absolutely besotted with her. He said she was absolutely lovely and she got to know everyone within days. They were all genuinely gutted when her rehearsals ended a few months later!

WombleishofThigh · 20/10/2019 19:01

Wasn't there, er, bad news about Craig Charles a few years ago?

Bloomburger · 20/10/2019 19:01

Wasn't Craig Charles dumped from Corrie after smoking crack and I'm sure he had been charged with sexual assault of some kind previously.

WombleishofThigh · 20/10/2019 19:02

Matt Baker? What's to like? Bland, bland, bland. Boring, too.

RedRec · 20/10/2019 19:03

Bradley Walsh.
Rylan Clark-Neal.

ShirleyPhallus · 20/10/2019 19:03

Thanks @Clawdy, I’m glad it has!
