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?

@Rebornagain

Why do people dislike James Corden so much?

I think the majority don't like him cos he's a big bloke

Seriously?! 🙄 I think the majority of people who dislike him do so because he comes across as a smug, 'up his own arse' git who would talk down to people and actually believes his own hype. As a fatty myself who can't stand JC, I can catagorically state it's nowt at all to do with his size.

Giovanna Fletcher - that soppy grin of hers drives me mad

The millionaire who allegedly claimed £30k furlough?

Yes, that has made me dislike her even more if it's true. They are worth around £8 million apparently so disgusting if she did claim it
MrsDoctorDear · 13/06/2021 11:53

@lynsey91 it's quite shocking when you think she is 'all about children' when there are children in absolute poverty relying on help.

Kate Middleton

Riz Ahmed

Holly willoughby (don't get her)

faithfulbird20 · 14/06/2021 12:38

MrsDoctorDear · 14/06/2021 12:53

Laura Whitmore is so up her own arse.

There's so much to be said for not owning a television and having no concept of celebrities outside of your own special interests.

I don't know who most of these people are, but I can imagine that you're all justified in your irritation with them. I loved reading the story about Ainsley Harriot with the MNer's DS who had ASD, though. That was lovely.

Not sure if she really counts as a celebrity but for me, it's Greta Thunberg. I really hate saying that. I actually agree with much of what she says. She is a fellow environmentalist and autist. On paper, I should adore her. However, the way she comes across turns me off - do you seriously think that the fact that you are refusing to go to school will make huge co-operations think twice about what they do to the planet? I won't criticise her beyond that, though. It wouldn't be fair.

As for David Attenborough, I personally don't mind him. I don't like the way the younger, privileged, "woke as a joke" crowd have jumped onto him and made him one of their own. However, I recognise that this isn't his fault. He's been around for years, after all.

It's interesting that Laura Whitmore comes up quite a bit. I had never seen her before she was on Strictly and I took an instant dislike to her because she reminded me so strongly of the cool girls at my all girls school. The type that weren't really bullies but just reminded you that you weren't a cool girl with little comments that were disguised as helpful advice and only have a proper conversation when they want something from you. I find with Strictly that I form opinions about people in the opening show but often gradually change my opinion over time so I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt, but still couldn't stand her when she left. She and her professional (Giovanni) couldn't stand each other and he is generally very sweet to his celebs.

MrsDoctorDear · 14/06/2021 18:05

I agree about Giovanni, he was wonderful with Debbie McGee.

Laura totally made a tit of herself over the 'baby name' palaver. She's an absolute tool.

faithfulbird20 · 14/06/2021 18:20

Lorraine off ITV I don't like her either

Alex Ferguson

faithfulbird20 · 14/06/2021 18:20

David and Victoria Beckham

lollipoprainbow · 14/06/2021 19:50

Mary Berry and her sweet little old lady act doesn't wash with me!!

Holly Willoughby can't stand her smugness, giggles, fakeness and her charmed life about time her bubble burst.

Lisa Faulkner smug and annoying her Instagram posts are always about her seemingly having a bad day, she hasn't really got much to moan about from what I can see!

Lorraine Kelly, again fake I imagine she's quite a nasty person

Joanna Lumley used to really like her now her poshness just grates!

Peanutbutterandbananatoastie · 14/06/2021 19:59

Brad Pitt don’t know why I just look at him and think ‘prick’

George clooney far too smooth and slick, seems like he’s hiding something.

Bassetlover · 14/06/2021 20:03

Rosie Jones the comedian, can't stand her!

Bassetlover · 14/06/2021 20:07

Dani Dyer, the daughter and all that Perf with Surf crap!

Faevern · 14/06/2021 20:12

Well there’s not many left I agree with so many so far.

@longtompot re Stacey Solomons voice, Joe Swash also has a weird voice and Ive often wondered what their children would talk like if voices were inherited 🤔

Peanutbutterandbananatoastie · 14/06/2021 20:23

@OhWhyNot

George Clooney

I find him disingenuous

Yet read nothing horrible about him quite the opposite

I’m not the only one clearly.
faithfulbird20 · 14/06/2021 23:43

I've never like Brad Pitt or George cliometrics either.

faithfulbird20 · 14/06/2021 23:43

Sorry typo I meant I've never liked Brad Pitt or George clooney either.

the80sweregreat · 15/06/2021 06:17

Zoe Ball winds me up so much. Her morning show is too bright and breezy and it feels as if she is reliving her youth with the music.
I've never liked Elaine Paige, no idea why but she seems false.
Probably both are lovely people and it's me with the problem! Never met either of them ( never will )

the80sweregreat · 15/06/2021 06:23

Lulu, whenever she is on I turn it over!

Some women you just know where the bullies or the Queen bees at school and much better looking than me too!!

garlictwist · 15/06/2021 06:36

I used to listen to a running podcast hosted by Jenni Falconer. I don't know which bit of Scotland she's from but I really can't bear her accent, it really grates on me so I had to stop listening.
