Celebrities you can’t warm to

Does anyone have any celebrities they can’t really ‘warm to’ or don’t get great vibes about for no reason at all, even though they are generally very well-liked?

Mine is Justin/Mr Tumbke, I know everyone loves him but I just get these vibes that he’s actually a total diva and the tv/stage persona is just that. But then I’m probably totally wrong.

Anyone else?

Robbie Williams after the handshake face on the nye fireworks programme a few years ago. And Amanda Holden.

Goodnightjude1 · 18/12/2019 19:12

Lorraine Kelly - urgh.

Maydayredalert · 18/12/2019 19:14

@Kazzyhoward I cannot tell you how pleased I am to read that about Jim Bowen. I love him so much on bullseye.

GuyFawkesDay · 18/12/2019 19:18

Katherine Jenkins

Just cannot warm to her. So fairly saccharine and nicey nicey.

I don't believe it.

Olivia Colman is genuinely that lovely. Insider knowledge.

Twigletgirl27 · 18/12/2019 19:18

Denise van Outen. Can't give you a reason why but she just comes across as fake and trying too hard. Hated her on Strictly a few years back.

chillykiwi · 18/12/2019 19:25

Stephen Fry is lovely IRL.

RedRec · 18/12/2019 19:27

Olivia Colman, with all that golly gosh silly old me faux modesty shtick.
Patrick Kielty
Liza "I'm mad, me" Tarbuck.

simplekindoflife · 18/12/2019 19:28

Tess Daly
Paddy McGuiness
Shia LaBeouf
Lorraine Kelly
Caroline Flack (even before the assault charge)

Theroigne · 18/12/2019 19:32

Keira Knightly
Kate Winslet
Holden
Willoughby
Winkleman
Daly
Flack

How they all keep getting work when they’re all so fake, cold and patronising I don’t know. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Theroigne · 18/12/2019 19:33

Oh and Anna Friel.

KidneyStones · 18/12/2019 19:33

A trio of mid life pudgy men with those massive but fragile egos:
Paul Hollywood
Jeremy Clarkson
Piers Morgan

Benedict Cumberbatch ugh

Martin Freeman (DD's Sherlock phase was not a good time for me)

I imagine Amanda Holden is not very nice but I like her goading of Phillip Schofield

Keira Knightley irritates me for no good reason

David Tennant's voiceovers make me want to throw the tv out the window

Theroigne · 18/12/2019 19:34

I’ve heard good insider knowledge about Olivia Colman too.

Theroigne · 18/12/2019 19:34

Agree with you kidney about Hollywood, Clarkson and Morgan.

Foxyloxy1plus1 · 18/12/2019 19:40

Gemma Collins and James Argent. Poor deluded fools
Piers Morgan. Arrogant deluded fool
Kerry Katona, Katie Price and any of her hangers on
Keith Lemon
Gino d’Campo. Even before I heard about the stealing.
Naga Munchetty because she’s rude.
Danny Dyer. Over the top Cockney geezer.
Ant and Dec
Alfie Boe
Michael McIntyre
Paul Hollywood

That’ll do to be going on with

VanyaHargreeves · 18/12/2019 19:42

Not yet said :

Romesh Ranganathan

Liked him to begin with but in recent years, I feel he's been overtaken by a narcissistic desperation for fame at any cost.

SoniasTrumpet · 18/12/2019 19:45

Defo Amanda Holden.
Cannot stand Claudia Winkleman or Tess D. Pair of tits.

spacepoppers · 18/12/2019 19:52

Urgh John Barroman. He sets my teeth on edge for some reason. Naga Munchetty irritates me.
Rylan Clarke...just no. Stephen Dixon sky news presenter is a condescending twat.

ChloeDecker · 18/12/2019 19:52

I am so pleased Mumsnetters have got the measure of Amanda Holden! We were on holiday in Cyprus in October half term and was there when she had her ‘accident’ and witnessed it. I won’t say too much for fear of having the post deleted but needless to say, she didn’t tell the whole truth in her many interviews and really played it up for all it was worth. Was shocked she travelled back to England to work the ‘circuit’, leaving behind her daughters too.

Noel Fielding was on our flight back home, however, and he was just lovely.

MamaWeasel · 18/12/2019 19:53

Mel B
Paul McCartney

Redshoeblueshoe · 18/12/2019 20:06

Chloe the thread will probably get deleted anyway soon.
Holly and Phil are dreadful

boble1 · 18/12/2019 20:10

David Beckham, Paul Hollywood, Angelina Jolie, Beyonce and her husband, Gigi Hadid

boble1 · 18/12/2019 20:12

Not forgetting - Peter Andre...

awaynboilyurheid · 18/12/2019 20:15

I have an extremely long list and it grows more every year ! Whoever said Alison Hammond I totally agree with, and no idea why the presenters find her so funny when it’s really stupid and forced silliness There must be better people to interview the stars, also Holly Willouby and Phillip Schofield there so smug and annoying. Also most of loose woman, especially when they have Rod Stewart’s wife she can only talk about Rod and her boys, zero personality and really, she’s a millionaires wife, she lives in a different world ditto Robbie Williams wife , I do like Kaye Adams though,she’s one of the few 😂

HowManyWondersCanOneTavernHold · 18/12/2019 20:17

James Cordon
Mel B
Geri Halliwell
Keith Lemon
Robbie Williams
Louis Walsh
Jeremy Clarkson

Papergirl1968 · 18/12/2019 20:21

Yes to Paul McCartney - shifty eyes.
Surprised to see Michael McIntyre on here - I’ve only recently started watching him. I suppose he’s a bit up himself but he makes me laugh - and has lovely hair!
