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?

Eddie Redmayne - in person or acting

Oh yes I love Noel fielding, he seems like a nice genuine one.

Someone on mumsnet shagged Mr tumble/Justin?? Shock

Not exactly 'celebs' but well known enough to piss me off everything I see them- bloody 'ladbaby' and his wife. Vile

Just realised I don’t like most of the people mentioned on here but I have a special place reserved for Gemma fucking Collins
I honestly cannot stand her

tiredsleepysleep · 18/12/2019 22:32

How has no one yet mentioned Cheryl Cole/Tweedy/whatever her name is?!! I can only assume because (thank god) she's buggered off from the tele recently.

I genuinely do not understand why people like her, she always comes across as being a massive bitch! I cannot stand her.

Benedict Cumberbatch!! His fave annoys me Sad

Itsnotalwaysme · 18/12/2019 22:33

Face*

Ooo. And the Speakmans. The ultimate celebrity hangers on. Enabling and encouraging all manner of fragile reality stars.

SimonJT · 18/12/2019 22:40

I can’t believe a few people have said Judi Dench, shes lovely, she gave me a pair of socks once as my partner (at the time) was wearing a mismatched pair.

OverByYer · 18/12/2019 22:43

Who are the Speakmans?

OverByYer · 18/12/2019 22:45

@tiredsleepysleep Cheryl ‘kerl’ hasn’t really done a lot recently ( thank god) but yes doesn’t come across as very pleasant

Tana433 · 18/12/2019 22:52

@Mrsjayy oooh, forgot about the absolutely odious Dan Wooton im adding him too. He was absolutely vile to Owen Jones (hero) on Jeremy Vine the other day. Horrible, smug plank.

HowManyWondersCanOneTavernHold · 18/12/2019 22:54

Who are the Speakmans?

Life coaches who go on This Morning to talk about anxiety/phobias etc. I still remember the time where they put someone into this sports car so the client can 'travel back to the future to face up to their demons from the past' or something.

There are some female celebs who are pushed on us as the sort of women other women love such as Olivia Colman, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Sara Cox, Zoe Ball, Lauren Laverne, Katherine Ryan, Holly Willoughby. Smug try-hards with fake lives all of them.

@QueenOfOversharing the Mr Tumble Justin.

OverByYer · 18/12/2019 23:07

@dayswithaY yes to Phoebe Waller wotsit. I found Flea bag v uncomfortable and not funny at all

Mychitchatdays · 18/12/2019 23:10

Daniel Craig, why they insist on him being James Bond, yuck.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 18/12/2019 23:12

@HowManyWondersCanOneTavernHold
I agree.Shes dead behind the eyes and very insincere

notcycling · 18/12/2019 23:19

What a horrible thread. Some of these people are on here. Imagine reading these horrid comments about yourselves.

Iamthewombat · 18/12/2019 23:20

The reverend Kate Botley. She was on Sara Cox’s radio show tonight and that reminded me.

She is monstrous. All ‘little old me! Yes, it’s me! The reverend Kate off the telly! I love cakes and cuddly toys! Like me! Like me!’.

I remember watching her on something, describing how she got together with her husband whom she’d known since childhood. I could clearly envisage her coldly hunting him down, like a shark.

Iamthewombat · 18/12/2019 23:20

Also, every spice girl. All of them. All awful in their own way.

Josette77 · 18/12/2019 23:21

Taylor Swift, Ellen. Miley Cyrus, Tom Cruise, Benedict Cumberbatch.

I love Russell Brand and Ricky Gervais though.

Brittany2019 · 18/12/2019 23:24

Maya Rudolphe's face annoys me intensely.

I also suspect Ellen Degeneres to be a bit of a self-satisfied bitch, although i have absolutely nothing to base this on.

Iamthewombat · 18/12/2019 23:25

Victoria Pendleton. She keeps trying to claw her way back to the C list. She tried to be a jockey and even went on radio 2 months ago claiming that jousting was coming back into fashion. What she didn’t say, but meant, was, “Who better to lead the charge for jousting than little old me? Yes, MEEEE, Victoria, your very own golden girl! Telly needs more Victoria!”

I never feel like this about other sportswomen. I bloody love Jessica Ennis-Hill, Dame Kel, Laura Trott, Steph Houghton, Katarina Johnson Thompson etc. That’s because they are dignified and are not always trying to shove their faces on telly at all costs.
