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?

Mel and Sue. I found them really irritating when they were doing Bakeoff, even though they were lovely to the contestants.

Susan Calman - I'm fully aware she's a big mumsnet fave, but I just don't see the appeal & her voice annoys me.
Alison Hammond -just too try hard with the larger than
life personality.

Ainsley Harriet.

@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.
I didn't ever taken to Alan Davies - now I know a little more about his life, it's understandable that he is as he is - it will never mean that we'd like each other.

@notacooldad

Laura Kinsberg or whatever her name is. DH actually calls her a ct and turns over. Something about her mouth, wtf?! It's 'Kuenssberg' Thats actually gone from 'lighthearted ' as you mentioned in your OP to quite nasty to be honest from both you and your husband.
Who died and made you thread police Let the OP have her say without your moderation

Susan Calman 100%. And her dancing with Kevin Whatshisname. More hatred than I could cope with on a Saturday night.

@Bloodypunkrockers thank you darling! Doom-mongering thread police 🤣

David Walliams

runoutofgoodusernames · 11/06/2021 23:47

Ah David Walliams.

A thoroughly annoying man, but he writes books that my kids love. For that reason, he is not allowed on the list.

Helen Mirren, don't know why, just can't stand her.

couchparsnip · 11/06/2021 23:49

One of my friends was on Mary Berry's program when she went about the country finding interesting food. He said she wouldn't even give him the time of day between takes and just spoke to the production team.
So Mary Berry - for being fake.

Coconuttts · 11/06/2021 23:49

The geordie guy on countryfile, he used to be on the One Show. I feel rage whenever I hear his voice. Also, Dermot O'Leary for no reason at all, just that he annoys me.

David Attenborough ~ overrated
Stephen Fry ~ arrogant and sly
David Walliams ~ smug and a bit creepy
Alexander Armstrong ~ I don't know why I don't like him, he seems perfectly nice. He's just too smooth. I bet he fiddles his taxes

Mel Giedroyc

She currently hosts a game show and is far too patronising to the contestants. Her gimicky/quirky way of talking just annoys me.

KezzabellaB · 11/06/2021 23:55

God, too many to mention!
I cannot STAND James Cordon (though I love Gavin and Stacey) Smug git!
Lorraine Kelly (twee and untalented)
Miranda Hart (unfunny)
Amanda Holden (fancies herself)
Davina McCall (patronising)
Gordon Ramsey (just shut up)
Lisa what's her face who's married to John Torode (another smug faced arse)
I could go on and on and on... 🙄😁

Amdone123 · 11/06/2021 23:56

I agree with pps re.Peter Andre. I don't know what it is, maybe too nice, and we can't cope ( I've seen him in an interview regarding cancer, and he was totally overwhelmed - so, a nice guy), but I still don't like him. Probably says more about me than him.
Ruth Holmes. I have no experience of second families, but my sister says she saw her once in an interview and she was all for her own kids, totally disregarding Eamon's. This pissed her off, so since then, I feel she's false !
Phil and Holly- fake.

Oh yeah. And Mylene Klass... (another one who fancies herself! 🙄)

Absolutely no one made me the thread police but when you hear of someone being refered to as a cunt and 'Wtf is going on with her mouth' it' beyond light-hearted as the Op said it was going to be and has become quite nasty.

WeAllHaveWings · 11/06/2021 23:58

Stephen Mulhern - need to switch the channel over

Danny Dyer - ok in Eastenders as a character, but again need to turn over

Yes every one of those too! Grin

@notacooldad as I said earlier 'lighthearted' I'm sorry if you took offence, and I'm sure she's a lovely lady. I think that you are missing the point. 'Lovely people that you don't like' I'm sure Laura will not read this and take offence
I'm not offended. I don't know yhe woman but for your husband to refer to her as a cunt and you mocking her face is unpleasant.
