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.

instaglum · 22/10/2019 23:47

Another fan of The Rock here!

cms1972 · 22/10/2019 23:51

@BritishHorrorStory it's no good, I still can't find the lovely Moira! Or Richard E., come to that. You're going to have to give me a grid reference or something Grin

@cms1972

And yet still, no-one else has mentioned Richard E Grant! Or Moira Stuart! What is wrong with you people?

BritishHorrorStory
Both of those have been mentioned! Smile

"@cms1972
Maybe I'm sticking my neck out but why has no-one mentioned Richard E Grant? He seems pretty nice.
And Moira Stuart? No-one's ever said anything bad about Moira"

But just noticed the above comment was posted by...you lol.

But I found another one :)

LynetteScavo
Trevor McDonald and Moira Stewart surely can't offend anybody.

George Clark
Sir David Attenborough
Phil Spencer
Kirsty Alsop

EleanorReally · 23/10/2019 08:23

I do not like George Clark at all.
its his voice
and his face
and everything about him

no one has disliked Rag N bone man that I suggested upthread

I don't know a thing about him so I couldn't say if I do or don't like him.

JeannieW · 23/10/2019 09:19

Paul Merton he's lovely
And another vote for Dave Grohl

midsomermurderess · 23/10/2019 09:34

I think Kirsty Allsopp is pretty polarising.

PralineCookies · 23/10/2019 09:37

Phil Spencer
Kirsty Alsop

I can't bear either of them.

Littledidsheknow · 23/10/2019 10:02

Has there been unanimity on anyone suggested here so far? I don't think so...

(I must confess a lifelong irritation towards Victoria Wood. Sorry)

LovelyIssues · 23/10/2019 10:08

Will Smith, Will Ferrell, Robin Williams...

Lweji · 23/10/2019 10:09

Nobody disputed Stephen Colbert. Just saying...

Littledidsheknow · 23/10/2019 10:16

Probably because no one’s heard of him, Lweji! 😀

Lweji · 23/10/2019 10:40

If you're living under a rock. Wink

Littledidsheknow · 23/10/2019 10:44

You’re on to me, Lweji. I am a troglodyte. 😒

Mrsjayy · 23/10/2019 10:50

I just googled him and I have no idea who Stephen Colbert is might be a niche following Lweji Grin

Deathraystare · 23/10/2019 10:58

(I must confess a lifelong irritation towards Victoria Wood. Sorry)

Leave the country. Immediately!!

Can't stand Ant and Dec or is it Dec and Ant.

PralineCookies · 23/10/2019 10:59

Stephen Colbert is a big celebrity to be fair. Much more so in the US than here but I wouldn't say that he's niche.

RedRec · 23/10/2019 11:03

I had to google Stephen Colbert too. Never heard of him before.

GabsAlot · 23/10/2019 11:12

Elton john is known for not being nice

shame as hes a great musician

Coniferhedge · 23/10/2019 11:14

Sorry if he's been mentioned as only about half way through the thread, but I've never heard a bad word about Bill Nighy.

SapphireSeptember · 23/10/2019 11:27

I love Stephen Colbert! And John Oliver and John Stewart. Smile I thank YouTube for introducing me to them!
