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?

@SquirrelFan I don't like MM's voice either!

quizqueen · 11/06/2021 15:52

I don't like any of the left wing. woke lot so that doesn't leave that many left for me to like, as many of them probably are too scared to ruin their careers if they say in public what they really think. So they hide under the radar which makes not like them or respect them either!!!!

@MorriseysGladioli you don't like Mary Berry just because of how she looks?

Sudename · 11/06/2021 15:58

James Cordon
David Walliams

DK123 · 11/06/2021 15:59

I can't stand Laura whitmore

Greylamp100 · 11/06/2021 16:03

@MorriseysGladioli

Mary Berry is so lovely and always looks amazing! So sophisticated too.

FabulouslyFab · 11/06/2021 16:04

Another one for Philip Schofield.- specially after all the fuss about his personal life. What a performance.
Also Dermot O’Leary. His dancing on Instagram while he’s presenting his radio show - oh my gosh. ……. 🤦‍♀️

catwithflowers · 11/06/2021 16:07

More Mary Berry love here 😇. Always seems like such a nice lady and very hard working.

Sparklingbrook · 11/06/2021 16:09

@WithANameLikeDaniCalifornia

There’s no celebrities you should love.
This. I don't know which celebs I'm supposed to love?
Darklane · 11/06/2021 16:10

Claudia Winkleman
Zoe Ball
The woman on Countyfile with the long blonde hair, in fact all the presenters on Countryfile except the chap with the farm.
That Yorkshire woman with the farm full of kids, the two legged kind not goats.

Lauren Laverne. I really want to like her. She's my age, similar background, similar interests, we even have mutual friends/friends of friends. I admire her work and her career. But she just rubs me up the wrong way.

Same for Dermot O'Leary. I end up with a mysterious heavy cringe straight out of nowhere every time I watch him.

KindnessCrusader · 11/06/2021 16:13

Stacey Solomon. I would like her as a mate, I'm sure, but I'm puzzled as to why she's become 'famous'-she's just a bit meh.

MorriseysGladioli · 11/06/2021 16:18

[quote NerrSnerr]@MorriseysGladioli you don't like Mary Berry just because of how she looks? [/quote]
Yes.
That's right.
We were asked to give our reasons and that's mine. (I did know it would be unpopular)

Lesartisansetlessansculottes · 11/06/2021 16:25

Esther Ranzen, and I feel bad about it because she is a good person. I just don't like her voice.

Amanda Holden.
Simon Cowell.
No guilt, they are both annoying.

Can I just say I have disliked John Barrowman way before the "getting it out" incident .

He always has a very "Ohh you ladies lurve me but you can't" air about him.

And on This Morning (with Fern'n'Phil so years ago) they did a cocktail making contest . Everyone else did very thought out original drinks . He basically put Lilt on a frosted glass and won just because Oh, look at me I'm JB

My DH and DS love him in Torchwood but I'm immune .

Paddy McGuiness

Patrick Kielty

Chris Tarrant

StorminaBcup · 11/06/2021 16:33

I’ll give that a listen - not a fan of Joe Wicks at all but I listened to a podcast with Louis Theroux and Rylan and it completely changed my opinion of him but in a good way.

StorminaBcup · 11/06/2021 16:34

@InkKeepsRunning

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.
Meant to reply to this one!
Popchips · 11/06/2021 16:35

Beyoncé - I really don’t get it!

MissDollyMix · 11/06/2021 16:37

Keira Knightly. I have no rhyme or reason to it but if I saw her on tv I’d have to turn over.

LubaLuca · 11/06/2021 16:42

Victoria Coren-Mitchell. She's one of a rare breed of unaffected people on TV, but I don't think she's a good host and she's nowhere near as funny as she's been led to believe.

tickingthebox73 · 11/06/2021 16:44

Lenny Henry - really un-funny

mummumumumumumumumumum · 11/06/2021 16:52

@Boood i wouldnt worry about John Robins. He has a beautiful fashion designer fiance now, Coco Fennell
