I mean there is a few I don’t like but there’s this particular person who just really grates on me i’m going to wait to tell you all to see if anyone mentions their name first 😂

Go…

I don't like Ben Fogle at all.

Doris Day? How could you? 😭

I'm sorry!!!! There was a documentary on her back in the 80s where she was interviewed, and she did the whole 'I love you, I love you..' thing to the viewers and it was toe curling.

Having said that, she really did have it all, as Terry Wogan said, and I appreciate her amazing work for abused animals. (Ah who am I kidding! Was really trying to think of someone universally loved I could pick on🤭)

😁 you really can’t make a valid argument for not liking Doris Day (can anyone). She was fab.

BrokeAsABone · 08/01/2023 18:49

Yes but there’s a difference in saying Freddie Mercury or Doris Day, which would result in whaaat? Why? It would be like saying you hate cute cuddly baby animals. Saying you don’t like James Corden or Katie Hopkins doesn’t really illicit the same response.

Yeah, that's true. I think, because of the internet now though, very, very few people have managed to maintain a universal popularity. So many rumours and allegations fly about.

Haha yes, she was pretty great. An ex colleague used to write fan letters to her (called her Miss Day) and she would always reply. Right up until she passed away.

He was so relatable....I think most people watching him would have shared his feelings, that the deer was betrayed, and felt some relief that there he was, expressing it and giving dignity to the poor animal.

BradfordGirl · 08/01/2023 19:12

I do not think Ben Fogle is at all relatable. He is an arrogant posh man.

Thighlengthboots · 08/01/2023 19:13

Agree about Keira Knightly- she seems right up her own arse

saraguy · 08/01/2023 19:15

Davina McCall

saraguy · 08/01/2023 19:16

David Jason something is really off with him.

Davina McCall

I don't think 'everyone love' her but I think she's great.

SityingConar · 08/01/2023 19:18

Dodecaheidyin · 08/01/2023 16:38

Cerys Matthews, which is annoying because I quite like the Road Rage song but can't stand her voice, whether singing or speaking, it sounds very affected.

omg same. And always remember when she cheated on her partner on national tele with Gianni out of eastenders

He toured when I was very, very pregnant! Couldn't go, I might have popped.

Oh, and another time he ruined Everlong by doing an acoustic version.

Another thread has just reminded me of another reason. 'The Pick of Destiny', quite possibly the worst film I've ever seen and I've watched the original 'Dune'.

SityingConar · 08/01/2023 19:19

Love Davina McCall

I have just spent two hours watching her on Diary of a CEO podcast on YouTube. Absolutely fascinating interview, she reveals a lot about her childhood and losing her sister.

ssd · 08/01/2023 19:24

YES to every bugger mentioned here

That's not really his fault, that he didn't check with you. That Everlong acoustic version he did at the TH tribute was perfect though.

I'm glad to hear the dislike isn't based on anything serious, and you're not Courtney Love Grin

ssd · 08/01/2023 19:27

Except martin lewis

Hes a bloody hero

I think in Castaway he was. It was some years ago and I haven't seen him in anything since so he could be very arrogant nowadays.

Not seen that film, not really my cup of tea, and I find Jack Black annoying,
