James Blunt. I love his twitter feed and would be gutted to find out he’s not so quick witted and self deprecating irl.

I remember watching the animal programme (can't remember the name) which had Rolf Harris in - when the news broke about him, I was so shocked and disappointed to know that he wasn't the pleasant, kindly gentleman he had appeared to be

My bubble has already been burst - I was truly gutted about Rolf Harris.

I never learn, though - there are plenty of names above that I would also be very disappointed by, and (sadly) a fair few that regularly feature on 'rude celebs' threads.

Billie eilish would really disappointed me

Dwayne The Rock Johnson... Just always seems so genuinely nice

Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, as I love pretty much anything they're in. I did get a slightly unlikeable vibe off Amy in her book, though, can't remember why Hmm

My husband has always said he'd be absolutely devastated if anything bad came out about David Jason - I'm pretty sure it won't though 😊

Michael ball - I think I'd be gutted if he was!

Oh dear, loads of these I've heard aren't very pleasant.
A friend of a friend had a relationship with David Tennant and he didn't treat her very well.

Aubrey1981 · 20/10/2022 11:19

As with the above David Jason was quite unpleasant

Now THAT I would just not countenance.

Selena Gomez, she seems like a incredibly kind, generous and intelligent woman

@Rainbowcat99 I've met Anton a couple of times, he's lovely. Very showbizzy like he is on Strictly, but lovely with it!

HippyChickMama · 20/10/2022 11:21

Rainbowcat99 · 20/10/2022 11:12

Any of the Strictly professional dancers especially Anton du Beke (yes I know he's a judge now) Johannes and Giovanni.

Also Rosie Marcel (Jac Naylor from Holby city) who come across as lovely on her Instagram account.

And Jodie Comer.

My brother used to live near Rosie Marcel, they used to walk their dogs together, and he said she's really lovely and friendly in real life
