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?

Kirsty Wark.

DH has taken a dislike to Alex Jones on The One Show for some reason.

Blueberrycreampie · 29/03/2020 11:23

Anthea Turner, Holly Willoughby, Rochelle Humes, Davina McCall, and the guy who presents Saturday Kitchen.

goose1964 · 29/03/2020 11:24

Adrian Childs (not even sure that's his correct name) that's how much he annoys me.

eddiemairswife · 29/03/2020 11:39

Steven Fry, Alexander Armstrong ...... both sound so smug and self-satisfied.

Fandoozle1 · 29/03/2020 11:40

Myleene Klass, I'm sure she must be perfectly lovely but for some reason I just can't deal with her.

happinessischocolate · 29/03/2020 11:41

Oh and Rachel Riley can't bear her simpering on 8 out of 10 cats

Philip Schofield 🤮

Rewy · 29/03/2020 11:59

Oh god yeah Paul Hollywood
I would like to give him a hand breaking handshake .
I refuse to even buy his bread rolls despite them appearing to look quite nice !

I’m throwing Greg Wallace in as well.
He always reminds me of the worm in Orm and Cheep.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 29/03/2020 12:06

Nick Abbot and James O'Brien (both lbc radio) are on my list

I listen to LBC (radio alarm and in the car - don't like music stations)

I cannot tell who I am listening to half the time Blush but I do have unreserved rage for Steve Allen.
He comes out with some really dickish tripe
Of the top of my head - it's ok to stop on the hardshoulder to rest Shock . Someone texted him to disagree and he was really sneery .

And all the rescue dogs just looking for a home , Rescues are so grateful and loyal ... Some are . Some have massive behaviour problems .
Seriously he should check himself befores he wrecks himself ( to misquote 'Benidorm' )

One breath he tells you all about his diabetes , next breath he's blethering on about all the food he's inhaling Hmm

And I notice when there's a Proper News Story on, his show is cut short . I think "Thank God Nick Ferrari is on now"

I know , I should switch him off , but then I'd miss my alarm wake up.

MrsCastiel · 29/03/2020 12:20

I don't hate any of these, I just have a dislike for their presenting and will switch off.

Rylan. I think it's his accent. I have friends in Essex and none of them speak like him, his voice grates me. It's similar to an over-exaggerated Scouse accent, urgh why just speak properly (of course none come to mind now, typical!) . Yes we know you're from Essex, well done, now tone that God-awful noise down. See also : Gemma Collins

I have no problem with accents, you speak how you speak... But Rylan seems turn his Essexness up by 100 for the cameras.

MrsCastiel · 29/03/2020 12:22

Oh and Rachel Riley. Yes you've a cracking figure and a brilliant mind and a handsome husband. You are so irritating though.

not jealous at all honest

Deathraystare · 29/03/2020 14:50

Ant and Dec - really cannot stand them
Philip Scofield - that wet voice.
Myleene Klass - she is everywhere! Why????!!

newnortherner1 · 29/03/2020 15:05

None of those mentioned are even 1% as bad as the man who plays Mrs Brown.

RishiSunakFanClub · 29/03/2020 15:37

Fiona Bruce - renders any programme she touches as unwatchable
Lorraine Kelly
Ant & Dec
Dim Tim on Sunday Brunch who always stuffs food in his mouth seconds before he is due to speak - disgusting.
Coleen Nolan
Fiona Bruce
I second Carol fucking Kirkwood - she's moronic
Alicia Dixon
Did I mention Fiona Bruce?

Wow I'm all for a bit of light hearted waffle but this thread is just plain nasty

And you read the thread knowing the subject because?

I know the thread is going to be reported and get deleted but thanks for the opportunity to share with the world my fully justified dislike of these useless creatures Grin

MitziK · 29/03/2020 15:39

It would be quicker for me to say who I do like.

Dan Snow.
Jon Snow.
Alexander Armstrong.
Sandy Toksvig.
David Attenborough.
Mary Beard.
Monty Don.

The rest can get to fuck.

Farheatarse · 29/03/2020 15:51

Not a presenter but I cannot watch Olivia Colman. I think she is a dreadful actor. Speaks too quickly, does that talking out of the side of mouth thing, enunciation terrible.
In interviews she does that annoying faux-self-depriciation. Oh silly old me...

PrincessHoneysuckle · 29/03/2020 15:54

Eamon Holmes( condescending)
Ruth Langsford (faux smiley)
Rochelle Holmes( smug)
Tess Daly (wooden,brittle)

AgeLikeWine · 29/03/2020 15:59

Neil Oliver, the Scottish guy who presents Coast the Beeb. I watch quite a lot of factual TV and Coast is the sort of thing I would normally enjoy, but I just find him unwatchable for some reason.

lboogy · 29/03/2020 16:15

Ant n Dec can't stand them.

JellyfishandShells · 29/03/2020 16:30

Alex Jones on the One Show - mute button immediately

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

I can understand how the very deliberate enunciation and showbiz smile would irritate. My late mother was friends with her mother and I met Angela several times socially a long time ago - really is lovely and kind in person !

JellyfishandShells · 29/03/2020 16:32

Neil Oliver, the Scottish guy who presents Coast the Beeb. I watch quite a lot of factual TV and Coast is the sort of thing I would normally enjoy, but I just find him unwatchable for some reason

I find myself yelling ‘tie your bloody hair back!’ at the screen . No objection to the style or length per se but he’s always in a high wind and is hair is always plastered over his face !

Exactly what I was going to say

123Dancewithme · 29/03/2020 17:53

Philip Schofield!

Innitogether · 29/03/2020 17:59

Holly Willoughby (I could barely shop in M&S when she was their poster girl)
Fiona Phillips
Carol vorderman - for promoting high interest loans aimed at the poorest in society, despite being a mathematician

IOnlyWannaBeWithYou · 29/03/2020 18:02

Not a presenter, but Rick Stein - he’s such a patronising bastard. Always quoting from some book and reminding us he went to prep school.

WalledGarden · 29/03/2020 18:17

Agreed, @IOnly, and he’s repellently patronising to various fishermen/growers/peasant foragers he visits on his travels — I remember once (might have been in Malaysia) him eating a fish cooked by the fisherman’s wife, clearly very poor people, and Rick being snotty to camera at the simplicity of the dish, and saying ‘I thought she’d do SOMETHING more than just grill it!’ DH, who is easygoing, threw a shoe at the tv. (I used to know his brother, who was lovely.)

There’s a wonderful clip that used to be on YouTube of him accidentally slicing himself on a mandolin.
