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?

Paloma Faith has a really annoying speaking voice, don't know why. I like her music though- I think her singing voice does not match her speaking voice and for some reason it freaks me out.

Zoe Ball, Chris Evans, Rylan, all too cheerful all of the time.

Alison Hammond - I’m sure she’s a lovely person but I just want to slap her which is most unlike me! And I’m pretty sure she first appeared on This Morning as part of a weight loss feature, yet she’s got bigger & bigger.
Naga Munchetti - total opposite to the lovely Louise Minchin
Tess Daly although I love Vernon!
Giles Brandreth
Michael Ball just seems a bit false

I used to find Joe Wicks a bit annoying but I actually changed my mind when he took on the school pe work outs(and tweaked them for older people too) .I've seen him on talk shows and he actually seems quite shy.
I find Michael Ball quite annoying but I'm not really sure why. He seems incredibly cringey/cheesy but that's a pretty harmless crime...

Oh God Andi Peters!
Not sure about Anthea Turner either

DioneTheDiabolist · 11/06/2021 17:03

Ben Fogle because he's probably evil.
Leigh Francis, not as funny as he is well connected.
Philip Schofield.
Ben Shephard because he's dull, dull, dull.

I've never felt the need to 'love' any celebrity (apart from my deep and abiding love for Adam Faith when I was a teenager and he a pop singer) and haven't even heard of some those mentioned on here. Also, unless you know them, how can you possibly say they are lovely?

YouokHun · 11/06/2021 17:09

@StopPokingTheRoyalTitDear

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.

Someone I know did some ghost writing for KP and assumed Peter would be lovely and KP would be a nightmare. Turned out to be very much the other way around!

@SquirrelFan

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

Aww, no 😧

I love the way he talks.
I do enjoy listening to his drawl and that it's drawn out and it makes me smile when I hear him speak. He's a character and this just adds to it.
I suppose I like it because I have a slight Texan accent myself.

Holly Willoughby
Davina McCall
Tess Daly
Edith Bowman
And I feel really guilty about this one because I feel like I should like her but....Caitlin Moran

SquirrelFan · 11/06/2021 17:23

@elp30 He's also got a sort of air of menace, combined with a strangely 1970s vibe - maybe the aviator sunglasses and plaid blazers? What do you think of his odds for Governor of Texas?

GerryManderson · 11/06/2021 17:30

David Attenborough. He's so irritating. I mentioned on a Facebook page I thought he was overrated and had days of hate mail afterwards. So just accept it and don't @ me Wink

twilightermummy · 11/06/2021 17:31

Philip Schofield
Peter Andre
Ben Shepard
Dermot O’Leary
Holly Willoughby
The woman who played Hayley from Coro haha!
And finally, Piers Morgan but, we’re not supposed to like him anyway, are we?

longtompot · 11/06/2021 17:35

@KindnessCrusader

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.
I follow her on Instagram and love her stories but I have to watch them on silent as her voice annoys me

Chris Pratt
Mylene Klass

MorriseysGladioli · 11/06/2021 17:58

Beyoncé, I just don't know why!

DaveGrohlsTeeth · 11/06/2021 18:08

I feel like I should love Tom Hardy, but I don't. I look at him and wonder why everyone else seems to swoon over him.

BrilliantBetty · 11/06/2021 18:26

Alison Hammond was the first person to spring to mind

runoutofgoodusernames · 11/06/2021 18:26

How did I forget John Barrowman? 🤮 Oh and James Corden 🤮🤮

How very dare no one totally love David Attenborough though? Sacrilege!

Kay Burley

Why should anyone love her? Confused

Ifyoudontlaughyouwillcry · 11/06/2021 18:29

Dermot O’Leary is possibly the most dullest person ever! How he keeps getting jobs presenting is beyond me - must have some serious dirt on people.

CurryLover55 · 11/06/2021 18:33

Oh yes Mylene Klass - get the impression she’s just not a very nice person.
