Celebrities you should love, but don't!

So. I was listening to Zoe Ball this morning and Joe Wicks came on which got me thinking...

He's a really nice bloke. But I really don't like him! So unmanly and squeaky of voice!

Same with Michael Ball. Annoying grin and smugness!

This is totally lighthearted by the way, but are there any celebs that are totally lovely, but you can't stand them? And why?

I didn’t like Joe Wicks but then I heard his episode of Desert Island Discs and heard him in a whole new way. It was totally heartbreaking - he grew up with a drug addict father and a mother with OCD. I don’t begrudge him his cheery adult persona any more.

Andi Peters. Can not stand him, even though he's cheery and happy. I can't watch him...dislike him immensely.

DontWannaBeObamasElf · 11/06/2021 14:34

Amanda Holden is too attention seeking IMO.

Waxonwaxoff0 · 11/06/2021 14:35

Holly Willoughby. I find her irritating, especially paired with Philip Schofield.

StopPokingTheRoyalTitDear · 11/06/2021 14:38

Peter Andre. I can’t stand him but I can’t quite put my finger on why? He’s apparently a really nice person and I’ve never heard of any diva behaviour.

Can’t stand Ed Sheeran either but I hate his music too so I feel vindicated with that one.

Sara Pascoe. I feel I should be supportive of any female comedian who says she’s a feminist, but actually I find her whiny and self-obsessed and I felt really sorry for the boyfriend she wheeled out and was all “look here’s my boyfriend, did I mention I’ve got a boyfriend” and whom she then promptly dumped.

There’s no celebrities you should love.

CornishGem1975 · 11/06/2021 14:42

Ant and Dec
Philip Schofield
Kate Garraway
Davina McCall

Basically, anyone hired by ITV by the looks of it.

Alex Jones, her Welsh accent grates on me (sorry any Welsh Mumsnetters! Blush)

Duckypoohs · 11/06/2021 14:48

My phone keeps telling me about Kate garraway, no idea what hellish algorithm I have bocome entangled with. At least it's stopped with the van Halen.

I used to quite like Matthew Wright, not so much now.

Everyday21 · 11/06/2021 14:48

Zoe Ball, Amanda Holden, the one from the one show, Alex?

runoutofgoodusernames · 11/06/2021 14:49

Ahhh I'll try to love Joe then ❤️

Yes to Andi Peters and Peter Andre. So bloody annoying. For some reason I find male celebrities more annoying than women. Amanda Holden is an exception however!

Cannot stand Lorraine Kelly, her twee Scottishness seems quite fake to me
Rita Ora too, doesn't come across well to me

eddiemairswife · 11/06/2021 14:56

Stephen Fry, Alexander Armstrong; both smug and irritating.

sophs29 · 11/06/2021 15:10

Ainsley Harriott for me!

SquirrelFan · 11/06/2021 15:10

Matthew McConaughey - sends shivers of horror up my spine. Think it's his voice.

bubblebath62636 · 11/06/2021 15:13

Stacey Solomon, I find her really cheesy and boring.

Myusernameisnotmyusernameno · 11/06/2021 15:44

Fearne Cotton. She has always annoyed the hell out of me and I'm not sure why. Also Tess Daly and Vernon Kay.

Pewpew · 11/06/2021 15:44

Philip Schofield ... awful
