Celebrities you like/love

As we had a thread about rage-inducing celebrities, I thought it might be nice to have a Christmas thread about celebrities we like.

Mine include:
Mary Beard - just herself, focuses on the subject and doesn't care what men say about her
Ian Hislop - been making me laugh at whoever the current Government is for many years.
JK Rowling - not a huge Harry Potter fan, but such a courageous lady.
Emma Raducanu - a recent addition to this list obviously, but so down to earth. Hope she stays this way for her sake.
Johnny Vegas - very grounded, a normal working class man who made it big.
Anita Rani - seems lovely and again down to earth.

Another JK fan even though I don't 100% agree with all of her current views, I 100% respect her. The treatment to her had been abhorrent and she had achieved a LOT of good. Remarkable woman.

Bloody love Dan Levy.

Michelle Obama, but that's a given.

Keanu Reeves. Very down to earth considering his level of fame, generous and loves animals

Amol Rajan. Not sure if he is a celebrity but I was really pleased when he started as a presenter on the Today programme. He seems very well informed and intelligent and can interview politicians beautifully, but I also remember him filling the drive time show on radio 2 and he was great with the public who called in.

Jon Snow. I've always liked Channel4 News, and I felt quite sad watching his last programme this evening.

JingleRattles · 23/12/2021 20:24

My favourite celebrity atm is Stacey Solomon. I've been watching Sort Your Life Out and she's just the loveliest person ever.

AuntMasha · 23/12/2021 20:32

@Turquoiseandgold Judge Rinder on Michael McIntyre's Midnight Gameshow was absolutely hilarious! He does seem lovely.

Also Richard Osman, Kate Garraway, and I know she's not everyones cup of tea but I like Zoe Ball, I find her very natural with people.

Jamie Oliver. I love his banter and his recipies as well.I know he has his older son helping him on his cooking videos but he does not appear to be exploiting him or any of his other children.His wife Jools seems very ordinary as well.

AlfonsoTheUnrepentant · 23/12/2021 21:03

Some great suggestions!

MargaretHooper · 23/12/2021 21:06
