Not like sexually or anything, just happy when you're sad. In both my pregnancies I've had some mad secret obsession with George Michael. He's just so nice to look at and listen to. Yet as soon as I gave birth, the obsession ended.

Miriam Margoyles- she is so hilarious and unpredictable. Her little face always looks like shes up to something!
Susan Calman- just an utter delight
Sarah Millican- so funny and her accent is so comforting as its mine !
Gino de Campo- again , hilarious and upredictable
Romesh Raganathan- love that hes got such a dry sense of humour yet is still a warm person. His travel shows were great.
Billy Connelly- been watching him since I was a kid and he still makes me cry laughing.
Rik Mayall- hilarious, warm, funny and just unique. Was lucky enough to see him live a few times and he was exactly the same person in real life as he portrayed on TV.

David Mitchell in ‘Upstart Crow’ just sublime snd making Shakespeare accessible to aforesaid Y9s.

@bananamonkey

Stacey Solomon’s IG stories make me happy, I hate Loose Women and her style is certainly different to mine but there’s something so comforting and wholesome about them.
Oh yes, came on here to say just this. I watch her stories on mute as much as I love them her voice does annoy me a little bit. I love her new house. It will be interesting to see how they make it theirs.

Vicky McClure aka Kate Fleming from LOD, I follow her on IG and she genuinely looks like such a happy person and fun to be around. I think she’d make a great friend.

Also David Jason..so much a part of my childhood!

I’m adding Nile Rogers to my list! Such a cool, humble guy, yet so talented and with such a long, amazing career. Always love seeing him talking on TV. He has great anecdotes and stories.

Most "nice" or "lovely" celebrities are probably not quite like that in private so I have no great leanings towards any really. Two I would cross the road to avoid are Hillip and Folly.

although I would happily make breakfast for Harry Styles

NeedToKnow101 · 03/04/2021 20:10

David Mitchell and Lee Mack on Would I lie to you. And Rob Brydon. And many of the guests. They just make me laugh sooooo much.

Jo Brand on the Bake Off thing. Ditto, and I just generally love her.

Craig Charles and Cerys Matthews on 6 Music. Love both of their shows so so much. Some others on there too, but them the most.

The funny blonde weatherlady with glasses on ITV(?) She is so quirky and funny, she really tickles me.

Gosh that was long!!!

NeedToKnow101 · 03/04/2021 20:12

Oh and Romesh Ranganathan. He tickles me.

Charley50 · 03/04/2021 20:14

Oh and Oti from Strictly. Love her.

YellowPurple · 03/04/2021 20:16

I follow Dr Khan on Instagram (The dr on ‘GP’s behind closed doors)

His posts are positive, pictures and videos of wildlife and on Fridays him dancing.

His lovely

JamesMiddletonsMarshmallows · 03/04/2021 20:17

Robin Williams always made me feel happy now I just feel sad when I watch his films Sad

Haggisfish · 03/04/2021 20:20

musicinspring1 · 03/04/2021 20:20

Sophie Ellis Bexter
Daisy May Cooper
Jordan North
Live listening to Grimmy and Annie Mac talking doing their handover between radio shows as there is genuine warmth and friendship radiated out

Bananaman123 · 03/04/2021 20:24

Not celebrities but watching the welsh twins on youtube

LoveFall · 03/04/2021 20:28

I really like Martin Clunes. He is wonderfully eccentric as Doc Martin and I have enjoyed his series on dogs, and the Islands off Australia. Seems all around nice.

murasaki · 03/04/2021 20:28

Another vote for Rylan, and against my better judgement, Jedward always make me smile. Such nice lads.

murasaki · 03/04/2021 20:29

Oh yes, Oti is a smiley goddess.

Notoriouslynotnotious · 03/04/2021 20:30

I am actually the love hold of Graham Norton and Jo Brand. It is every bit as wonderful as you imagine ...

Notoriouslynotnotious · 03/04/2021 20:30

Love child even
