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?

Thought of more;

Lorraine Kelly - patronising
Naga Munchetty - so much anger!
Kay Burley - deeply unpleasant individual

I can’t believe people are dissing David A and Mary B - they are national treasures I tell you.

Bloodypunkrockers · 15/06/2021 11:27

Some of these are a bit Shock

Kay burley has never been seen as someone well liked

Amanda Holden crops up on these threads all the time

the80sweregreat · 15/06/2021 13:43

I think that Amanda Holden is just incredibly confident and that why people are not keen her. She really doesn't care what people think of her and that's not the British way of doing things!
Just an observation of mine ( I've never met any celebrities so could be wrong)
A old colleague of mine knew someone who used to childmind Denise van outen and she said the same about her. They are just loud and proud , but society prefers more ' demure' women ( well, men do generally!)
They can't handle anyone with attitude.

@KingsPark

That Yorkshire woman with the farm full of kids, the two legged kind not goats.

She's a pain in real life tho. too.

I’ve found my people 😂👋

David McCall - can't take to her and I don't know why.
Holly Willoughby - I don't get it.

Rebornagain · 15/06/2021 18:06

@Peach01

David McCall - can't take to her and I don't know why. Holly Willoughby - I don't get it.
Has Davina transitioned?
Sparklingbrook · 15/06/2021 18:55

I really like David Davina McCall. She is doing great things raising awareness of the menopause, I love Long Lost Family and her podcast, she is very relatable.
She's no longer the shouty host of Big Brother people remember her for.

Peach01 · 15/06/2021 18:59

@Rebornagain 😂😂😂 I was so confused there. I've made some atrocious spelling mistakes today but this one tops it.

Alex Jones

shallIswim · 15/06/2021 20:45

Dermot O'Leary and Zoe Ball and their weird breathy deliveries.
Steve Wright obviously
Emily Blunt - witty on Graham Norton but curiously looks dead behind the eyes

the80sweregreat · 15/06/2021 21:46

Steve Wright should just retire gracefully.
Ken Bruce can stay though : love pop master!

BrownEyedGirl80 · 15/06/2021 21:56

Coleen Nolan.Faux nice imo.

the80sweregreat · 15/06/2021 22:01

Most of the 'loose women ' crowd are false
Another programme I turn over if I see it's on. Which is rare here.
ITV daytime shows are dire. An overhaul is needed!

Confiscatedfidgetspinner · 15/06/2021 22:47

Lesley Garrett
Tom Allen
Phillip Scofield/ Holly
Colleen Nolan
James Corden
Meghan Markle
Nicolas Cage
Richard E. Grant
Rochelle Hulmes

Mintsmints · 16/06/2021 00:31

Olivia Coleman find her very annoying
Holly Willaby
Keith Lemon
Davina McCall
Tess Daley
Claudia Winkleman
Lee Evens
Matthew McConaughey for some reason makes my skin crawl

Mintsmints · 16/06/2021 00:33

Oh and Amanda Holden and Alisa Dixson cackling laughter like a couple of witches on BGT really winds me up

I won't watch Long Lost Family purely because of her.

She really winds me up on Masked Singer and Masked Dancer. Always wants to make it about herself.

Sparklingbrook · 16/06/2021 08:25

Davina is great in LLF.
All of the panel on Masked Singer/Dancer have obviously been told to behave in a certain way. Oti is very OTT on it too, it’s panto.

But that’s just my opinion and nobody has to watch anyone they don’t want to I guess.

Pewpew · 16/06/2021 09:13

Watching some rubbish last night, Summer farm I think its called... the blonde presenter was really irritating and dressed like she was on the real housewives, full face of make up, big hair and wearing all white!Confused

LittleDidSheKnow · 16/06/2021 09:24

Don't watch much telly, so lots of the above are over my head, but...
Jonathan Ross - smirking, gurning idiot.
Helena "ooh, look at me, I'm so quirky!" Bonham Carter - exactly the same in everything she's in, i.e. annoying.
Tom Hardy - he's probably a nice man and I've nothing against him personally, but I'm just baffled as to why he's so vaunted as a heartthrob/sex symbol; he's the most ordinary looking bloke ever.

Prince Edward 🤮

shallIswim · 16/06/2021 09:26

Tell you what, Amanda Holden's agent must earn his/her money. No one likes her but she gets so many gigs!

Yes I agree they all go over the top on Masked Singer and Dancer but, for some reason, it's only Davina that irritates me.

We can't all like the same people. A lot of posters have said Jonathan Ross and yet I really like him. I like his sense of humour and, for some strange reason, feel we would get on well!

I also really like Michael Ball (in fact he is one of my secret crushes) and yet he has been mentioned quite a few times

elizaco · 16/06/2021 12:09

A few I can think of straightaway..
Kym Marsh
Martine McCutcheon
Catherine-Zeta Jones
Michael Ball
Liza Tarbuck (Don't mind her on telly, but on Radio 2 she's painful!)

Oooof yes. Does Liza Tarbuck still do the stupid animal squeaky things on air?
Lampzade · 16/06/2021 16:34

Mentioned him before, but will mention him again
James ‘smug’ Corden - I just know that I wouldn’t like him in real life . I really don’t understand how he managed to get that US gig. He is neither funny nor charming

Whereas I feel that I would get on with Davina and Jonathan Ross IRL- even though some posters find them irritating
