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.

Lol no! I didn’t realise his history

piperatthegates · 20/10/2019 17:47

Henry Winkler aka The Fonz = always comes across as a lovely man and also has written books with a dyslexic hero to help children with dyslexia (which he suffers from himself).

MarshaBradyo · 20/10/2019 17:48

Ok I feel I should put up another one... female this time hang on

BritishHorrorStory · 20/10/2019 17:49

I read a blind item recently about Tom Hanks that suggested he is far from the lovely guy that he is made out to be. Henry Winkler AKA "The Fonz" from Happy Days spoke about him badly in an interview fairly recently Shock

I vote Julia Bradbury and Michaela Strachan. They seem very likeable

BritishHorrorStory · 20/10/2019 17:50

Andrea Mclean from Loose Women and Peter Andre always comes across as lovely too although i dont know how genuine he is!

Kanga83 · 20/10/2019 17:50

Louis Theroux- whoever mentioned him. He makes my skin crawl, I can't watch anything with him in it.

Mrsjayy · 20/10/2019 17:51

@HollowTalk I always thought he seemed very intelligent and astute until he failed to see that Jimmy Saville was very clearly a paedophile. I do like him though. I loved the episode where he went for lunch with the southern American trump supporting women.

AmethystWoodstar · 20/10/2019 17:53

I'd totally forgotten about the lovely Anthony Head until I saw him on Motherland the other day.

Leona Lewis is lovely and is very good about our local animal rescue.

Vicky Michelle (of Allo Allo when it was on) is an absolutely lovely lady. A friend of mine worked on the stage show and it was the worst experience of her life but Vicki Michelle was just lovely and genuine.

James Masters and Juliette Landau I met at a Buffy convention. Both absolutely lovely and a joy to talk to. Very patient withe everyone.

David Attenborough goes without saying

Daniel Radcliffe is lovely I am told.

Anthony Head is lovely too.

I chat occasionally with Daniel Hill (he was in OFAH as Cassandra’s boss Stephen among other things). Absolutely lovely man.

One of DH’s oldest friends is in Downton Abbey and is a great bloke although as hubby says “he definitely moves in higher circles these days Grin.

FoxSquadKitten · 20/10/2019 17:55

Hate:
Holly Willoughby
Phillip Schofield
Adele
and Patrick Stewart, Emma Willis annoy me, so they're of the list, sorry.

Agree with The Sidiquis, Dolly Parton, Floella Benjamin and Susan Calman 👍

Kallyderon · 20/10/2019 17:55

I never liked Tom hanks or Benedict cumberbatch but a friend worked with BC earlier this year and said he's a really nice bloke. Tom hanks still gives me massive bad vibes though.

JumpyLiz · 20/10/2019 17:55

Yy to-

Rylan
The Siddiquis
Anita Dobson & Bryan May (this one I can confirm, both v lovely)

I would add Bill Nighy and bake off Nadiya

DuesToTheDirt · 20/10/2019 17:56

Sorry people but my MIL doesn't like David Attenborough and won't watch anything with him in. I think it's his voice but not sure why.

Lessthanzero · 20/10/2019 17:57

Emma Willis! Surely you can’t dislike her

Can't stand her sumg twatt with zero personality reading banalitiies of an autocue.

BallacheForLife · 20/10/2019 17:57

I know I'm in the minority but I can't stand Kylie Minogue.
Terry Wogan used to freak me out too, no idea why.

Never met anyone who doesn't love David Attenborough though.

Lima45 · 20/10/2019 17:58

I may get chucked out but I don't like Anthony Head.
It's a dislike passed on from my dad who went to the same college as him and the stories he told put me right off.

Kallyderon · 20/10/2019 17:58

Elton John is a fucking weirdo. Something deeply suspect about that man. I've heard stories from friends that make me feel uncomfortable viewing him.
