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?

All I know about Michael Ball (apart from Phantom) is that he was once described as a 'friend of Prince Edward'.

Nothing to do with James Corden size 🙄 what a strange thing to say! Pains me to say it but I actually think he's quite attractive, just a dick!

Kate Garaway
Lorraine Kelly

I think Lorraine Kelly is probably a very nice person. But I have no idea how or why she got her own TV show, because it is awful. It has been going for literally years, and it's exactly the same every time.

All the way to the end and no mention of Rylan fucking Clark fucking Neal fucking teeth.

HectorPlasm · 12/06/2021 22:09

Also - I'm sure Danny Dyer wipes bums at a care home and funds arts workshops for one legged chimps but why the fuck is his grating voice and wanabee hooligan face on my TV?

@HectorPlasm

All the way to the end and no mention of Rylan fucking Clark fucking Neal fucking teeth.
I hadn't seen Rylan on tv at all until he started on Strictly ITT. I expected not to like him at all, but I can't help myself, I enjoy watching him.
MrsWarleggan · 12/06/2021 22:12

Willoughby
Holden
Whitmore
Daly
Schofield

MrsWarleggan · 12/06/2021 22:13

Looove Rylan though. He is hilarious with his mum on gogglebox!

AnneShirleysNewDress · 12/06/2021 22:23

Philip and Holly
Amanda Holden
Iain Stirling
Lorraine Kelly
Alex Jones
David Walliams

HectorPlasm · 12/06/2021 22:26

Also Sarah Millican. You're divorced. We get it.

HeronLanyon · 12/06/2021 22:27

I am surprised to say so but I like Dylan a lot. He’s very comfortable in his skin and sharp and witty. Only seen him on gogglebox since his infamous early tv appearance - completely forgot name of that show.

HeronLanyon · 12/06/2021 22:27

Rylan not Dylan. Never really been a Dylan fan.

coffeerose · 12/06/2021 22:28

Honey Ross
Jonathan Ross
Sheridan Smith
Kay Burley
Lorraine Kelly
Vorderman
Andi Peters

Hen2018 · 13/06/2021 00:12

Danny Dyer, but only because he doesn’t use any consonants.

OhWhyNot · 13/06/2021 00:36

George Clooney

I find him disingenuous

Yet read nothing horrible about him quite the opposite

Hairbrush123 · 13/06/2021 07:22

Kylie Minogue has always annoyed me, not sure why and Ellie Goulding

Member869894 · 13/06/2021 08:13

Lorraine Kelly is unbearable to watch. So twee. Helen Mirren is bloody annoying too.

ISpeakJive · 13/06/2021 08:50

@RevolvingPivot once upon a time I would’ve completely agreed with you about Nicole S. but my sister met her on the street one day when Nicole was visibly upset about something and she was nothing but gracious, patient and very friendly.
Since that day I’ve changed my opinion of her. If she can be lovely at her worst then she must be an angel at her best.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 13/06/2021 10:02

Has anyone mentioned Kirstie Allsopp?

I can’t stand her. Probably dates from LLL days, when to me she came across as so smug and bossy.

lynsey91 · 13/06/2021 10:10

Alison Hammond - so full of herself and extremely annoying
Amanda Holden - same reasons
Holly Willoughby - just comes across as thick with all that giggling and simpering although I am sure she is not
Danny Dire - just his voice drives me mad
Phillip Schofield - looks so smug all the time
Giovanna Fletcher - that soppy grin of hers drives me mad

Cravey · 13/06/2021 10:22

Another for Peter Andre. He's not as innocent as he likes to portray. John barrowman, the whole persona is just too much.

RedRec · 13/06/2021 10:25

Agree re Michael Ball. Warbling tit who finds himself very funny and sounds like a pub singer straight out of Phoenix Nights.

Pinuporc · 13/06/2021 10:28

Jason Donovan - I used to love him in neighbours Blush(I was about 12!) although I saw him in concert once and he was very wooden and the entertainment factor was pretty low.
But anything I've seen him on recently he seems to take himself unbelievably seriously

PlantingGreen · 13/06/2021 10:46

Most of the celebs i can stand have already been mentioned. Also can't stand Katherine Ryan or Rylan.
