Irrational hatred of certain TV presenters.

Mine is the chirpy Northern Irish sports presenter on BBC Breakfast. She spouts the England biased sports news with such glee. Another is the man who presents the Click section (tech) section of the same programme. Lastly Dr Sarah Jarvis - smug TV medic.
Can you tell I'm fed up of social distancing already.
Who irritates the Bejeezus out of you?

In not a fan of This Morning due to the smug factor / main presenters (love Alison and Ruth)

Loose Women is also annoying.. makes me want to go back to work Grin why do I care what their opinions are? They are ridiculous on that programme.

Claudia wrinkleman. I just want to scrub all that eye make up off and that shampoo advert she does is so annoying I have to mute the tv whenever it’s on!

Kimberly Leonard Sky news, recent hatred. Takes too many pauses and sighs so often it seems like she hasn't a clue how to finish her sentences. Her questioning isn't good enough. It often seems like she's suppressing a cry (probably for dramatic effect). Get off my screen and let someone else more professional do it.

David Attenborough. I can’t stand his voice. Subtitles are ok.

TheRealMrsGrissom · 29/03/2020 09:16

Fiona Bruce
Greg Wallace - and I love Masterchef
Monty Don - Mr Grissom loves Gardeners Doodah programme
Kay Burley sky news

One from the past and rarely seen these days (thank heaven!) but Angela Rippon. Don’t even know what it is but even the mention of her name is enough to turn my mood. She’s probably lovely, kind and delightful but she just bloody winds me up.

And Steven Mulhern, Philip Schofield, Richard Madeley. Fred Dineage who presents our local news.

renegadeoffunk · 29/03/2020 09:16

Plenty already mentioned (holly willoughby, Amanda Holden)

But Carol fucking Kirkwood. Her that does the weather on BBC breakfast. I just want to kick the TV out of the window with her sing song, shrill voice and her irritating personality.

And Myleene Klass can piss off as well.

WalledGarden · 29/03/2020 09:18

I am regularly afflicted with an urge to shear off Claudia Winkelman’s lengthy fringe.

RingaRosie · 29/03/2020 09:19

I don’t have telly or Instagram, or YouTube, but I keep up with celebs / TV stars online / in magazines, occasionally (more during lockdown).
Paddy McGuinness has been filming himself in the shower etc... I also don’t understand how anyone can watch Ant & Dec. It’s all so juvenile.
If this is the normal quality of content / broadcasting then I’m clearly not missing much!

WanderingTrolley1 · 29/03/2020 09:20

Piers Morgan
Alicia Dixon

Plops365 · 29/03/2020 09:21

Mike Bushell, little cunt just winds me up. Used to hate Dan Walker but he’s grown on me.

TheRealMrsGrissom · 29/03/2020 09:22

Forgot to add

Paul Hollywood - does he count as a presenter??

TitianaTitsling · 29/03/2020 09:24

Also bloody Ant'n'Dec. How the fuck are they meant to be the best the UK has to offer in terms of presenting for the last decade and a half apparently!!

derxa · 29/03/2020 09:25

Used to hate Dan Walker but he’s grown on me. He certainly hasn't grown on me. So dull and seems to be made of wood.

I love Dan Walker! And Louise Minchin. But have to turn off breakfast when smuggo Naga Munchetty is on. Also can't bear the obvious ones - Piers Morgan, Holden, etc. Rochelle Hulmes is a robot.

catzrulz · 29/03/2020 09:26

While we're on the subject of irritating presenters, can I add Steve Wright.
Seriously, how is that man allowed on the radio?

borntobequiet · 29/03/2020 09:30

Any presenter, male or female, who doesn’t tie their hair back when presenting outside when it’s windy. Really annoying and actually not irrational get a scrunchy.

weareallfucked · 29/03/2020 09:31

John Torode; he causes me physical revulsion on masterchef.
Amanda Holden defo on the list too.

Cheeryandmerry · 29/03/2020 09:31

Holly with the simpering and giggling. Absolutely can’t watch her.

Davina’s shoutiness annoys me but I like her. Claudia’s fringe likewise. Like her but difficult to watch.

Joans3rddaughter · 29/03/2020 09:31

Andrew Marr and his super injunction. Absolute hypocrite. And ugly.

Joans3rddaughter · 29/03/2020 09:34

Louise Minchin. Constantly fluffs her lines and cannot read from autocue. Check the body language when she is presenting with Charlie. Clearly they don't get on.
Anybody else noticed?

derxa · 29/03/2020 09:36

Watching Sunday Brunch best bits with Tim, Simon and Davina McCall.
Some pp's heads would explode Grin

Mike Bushell irritates the shit out of me, but even worse is the no-mark who does the Hollywood bit for Lorraine Kelly. The Smugness is more than I can bear.

Oh and Dan Wootton. Not just the Smugness, but the sheer unpleasantness and hypocrisy is revolting. Utter arsehole.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 29/03/2020 09:37

Mine is a voice-over artist , I don't know who she is .

It's the Vodaphone adverts , when they come on the car radio, I have to put the sound off , on the TV I mute .

It's a throaty , "I'm so chirpy" voice (I thought it was Liza Maxwell , similar voice) just bugs the tits off me .

Other adverts are Trust a Trader , might be same VOA ?

I'll look out for that now Grin
But on the same programme , Steph McGovern and Carol Kirwood .

They did a Tour of Britain with a Burger Van and I noticed Steph gave Carol a burger or bacon sarnie that she unceremoniously dumped without even biting it . You could see her thinking I'm not eating that
