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.

Sorry but I find Barrowman really annoying

The hairy bikers.

I met Rik Mayall years ago in a curry house in Cardiff. He was an absolutely lovely man. No airs and graces, just properly down to earth and lovely. And the charisma just shone out of him like a beacon. He was a truly lovely human being.

I hate Graham Norton not keen on Cumberbatch either so they don't qualify. The former likes the sound of his own voice too much. Cumberbatch is yet another over entitled public school rich kid as far as I am aware

Whitney168 · 21/10/2019 20:51

Oh yes to Colin Firth.

How did I forget Stephen Mangan? Nobody tell me he’s anything but lovely please.

GingerFoxInAT0phat · 21/10/2019 20:52

I love Rik Mayall, he reminded me of my dad which is a little odd, but he just seemed lovely.

Ditchedtheuselesswanker · 21/10/2019 20:55

Agree. Never liked him again after learning that

FadingStar · 21/10/2019 20:56

Can't stand Graham Norton since I saw him on morning TV with Eamonn Holmes laughing at David Cassidy who was deteriorating with alcoholism. Norton said something along the lines of David's hair looking like a dog that had rolled in tar. David died very soon afterwards with multiple organ failure. I just thought it was so hateful, sniggering about someone who was suffering so much and fighting so many demons.

Met Dwayne Johnson years ago when he was still wrestling - proper, proper nice bloke. Amazing considering than probably 80% of wrestlers are arseholes.

She'd probably cringe at being called a celebrity but Jacqui Abbott is bloody lovely, never heard a bad word said about her.

Barack Obama

Crisps69 · 21/10/2019 21:05

Christopher Walken.

lljkk · 21/10/2019 21:06

John Snow seems like a very kind nice man.

FadingStar · 21/10/2019 21:06

Johnson always comes across as a great friend to women.

Mrsjayy · 21/10/2019 21:16

Dwayne johnsone seems a decent bloke I like him. Has anybody mentioned Terry Crewes yet loves him too

Disfordarkchocolate · 21/10/2019 21:17

@TheLastQueenOfPop - have you preordered so you can get early tickets?

Fluffy40 · 21/10/2019 21:17

Simon Reeves

Saiorse Ronan.

Mrsjayy · 21/10/2019 21:19

Chrissie tiegan and John legend are a golden couple she is lovely I would be gutted if she was a diva.

Celestine70 · 21/10/2019 21:19

Professor Brian Cox.

lissie123 · 21/10/2019 21:21

Julie Walters was vile on a flight to a friend who is cabin crew.
Madonna was very difficult and demanding of cabin crew on a flight- but no real surprises there.
Dolly Parton works very closely with a friend. She is lovely.

TheLastQueenOfPop · 21/10/2019 21:23

@Disfordarkchocolate yes, proper cheered me up when the tour dates were released.

LokiDoki75 · 21/10/2019 21:26

Anyone who doesn't like Bernard Cribbins is not to be trusted.

SandwhichGenerationGal · 21/10/2019 21:28

Thank goodness Lorraine Kelly doesn’t seem to have made the ‘like’ list. Was there ever a more fake person? Can’t stand her

Disfordarkchocolate · 21/10/2019 21:28

Me too @TheLastQueenOfPop, we haven't had a night out without our boy since we last saw then in Leeds (3 years?). Proper chirpy I am now.
