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…

John Tarode from masterchef. He annoys me the way he eats with his non existent top lip. Also Dermot O'Dreary. Cannot. Stand. Him

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

Show quote history

Trust me, it's no-one's cup of tea. Everlong at the Taylor Hawkin tribute was perfect.

Jack Black, needs to stop being Jack Black so much.

Martin Lewis. I don't understand why he's treated like an alchemist.

If people read the terms and conditions and actually had a bit of a think for themselves they wouldn't need him. He could then finally retire and enjoy that £123 million he's rumoured to be worth.

He's not "one of us".

I agree. When he sits there on This Morning with HW and PS that's three millionaires telling viewers how to save 20p on their weekly shop

Right, as op didn’t say they couldn’t be fictional, here’s mine: DEL BOY!!

I absolutely love OFAH and think that David Jason is a National treasure (yes, I am aware of the rumours and will happily eat my words if they turn out to be true), but Del Boy as an actual person is quite awful.

He is Narcissistic, misogynistic, Manipulative and selfish. I understand it must have been difficult to have to raise his young brother, practically alone, from a young age and I can understand why he likely is resentful of it. But some of the things Del does to Rodney are so horrible they cannot be considered anything other than Emotional abuse!

The amount of real people who admire him and claim they want to be like him makes me cringe.

What rumours about David Jason?

Holly Willouby
Philip Schofield
Lorraine Kelly
Gloria Hunniford
Fern Brittan
Amanda Holden (both her and Fern Brittan seem very artificial to me)
Russel Brand
Jonathan Ross
Alexa Chung (only half her fault. The papers would be in raptures at how 'clever' she was wearing umm......clothes! And she always had a 'Ta Da'! look on her face as if she did indeed agree with how clever she was to be wearing clothes. Shall I congratulate myself for getting dressed this morning??

That Alison character on in the morning.
Ant and Dec
John Lennon. The smugness. yes indeed
Gemma Collins as with Alison whatever her name is - both like to think they have personality
Danny Dyer
Any Towie/Chelsea types

oh and Katie Price.

That's a few to be getting on with!!!

"Famous people you dislike but other people love" is the thread.

WHO in your world loves any of these people?!

@dollybird That he is a complete miserable git to people in his everyday life

Ah yes Katie Hopkins, so well loved, an actual national treasure. Deserves her place on a thread called Famous People You Dislike but Everyone Loves.

People aren’t really understanding the concept are they? We’ll be getting Andrew Tate on here next.

Show quote history

Actually, there are a LOT of people that enjoy watching her and openly support her views.

Perhaps you'd like everyone to check with you before they're allowed to post?

I never got the arse licking either- she never dressed in a novel or particularly stylish way to me. An oversized T shirt, skinny jeans and boots are hardly groundbreaking or iconic yet people went on about her as if she was some kind of fashion svengali. Half the time I thought what she was wearing didnt even fit her properly.

Bob Mortimer.

I can’t imagine anyone not liking him.

Oh oh oh I got one. Adam Driver. Everyone seems to think he’s so great but I just find him irritating.

I can't stand looking at most mentioned on this thread
especially:

Alexander Armstrong
Richard Osman
Miriam Margolyes
Peter Kay
Michael McIntyre
Lenny Henry
Cliff Richard [Gloria Hunniford's best friend. She doesn't know what I know]
Sick of seeing Ant and Dec
I really can't stand Kaye Adams [Loose Women]
Charlene White
Mary Berry [was extremely rude to a friend of mine at a book signing]
Noel Fielding
Keith Lemon
Eddie Izzard
Harry and Meghan

.....I don't watch TV much now because of all the 'celebrity' stuff on there.

Ooh. What do you know about Cliff Richard?

I think Dench is very overrated as an actress. She's often mentioned in the same breath as other great theatre dames such as Maggie Smith, Diana Rigg and Julie Andrews.“

Someone criticised La Dench because she likes to call people cunts.
I imagine each of those esteemed actors swore/swear like troopers too, it’s a stage thing (then and still is now) And I also imagine they enunciate every single swear word beautifully.

Yes! Insufferably smug.

Pamela Stephenson, is she well liked? I've never trusted her. And never found her funny when she was in that news programme.

I liked NTNOCN, although she didn't get given many of the funny parts.

However, she sexually assaulted Nick Owen on live TV and he was expected to laugh it off good-naturedly and not defend himself. He and Anne Diamond later reported that he'd suffered a lot of pain over quite a period following the incident.

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 08/01/2023 23:09

I think David Jason has been rumoured to have done somewhat worse things than just be a bit grumpy, though....

Johnny Depp.

Absolutely. The worship around him is mind-boggling, disturbing and sad.
