I will say it. Jamie Oliver can't cook.

Tom Cruise, not good looking or that good an actor. Too intense with bizarre, alien beliefs.

Those two braying ones who skipped the queue for the Queen’s funereal.

I don’t even watch television but those two somehow filter their way in.

Ant & Dec, I just don't get it!

Are we doing "proper" celebs or reality .because spencer Mathew's and his wife vogue are very irritating. Proper celeb channing Tatum I don't understand him at all.

Taylor Swift

Ant and Dec - I can’t bear them, they’re not funny and are intensely irritating.

florenceandthemutt · 11/05/2023 16:56

Cheryl Cole and Amanda Holden - both without talent.

FrownPrincess · 11/05/2023 16:56

Philip Schofield

All the UK's chat show "royalty"...antdec, hollyphil, winkleman, whoever else, just all of them... absolutely cringe 😬

Ed Sheeran. He's bloody everywhere and his music is so samey and boring. Don't get the hype at all.

tuvamoodyson · 11/05/2023 17:04

Helen Flannigan??? Her from Coronation Street…pointless.

RunningRunningRunningRunningRunning · 11/05/2023 17:06

Kate middleton.

Fluffymule · 11/05/2023 17:09

Harry Styles.

Mediocre music. Blatant plagiarism, framed as interpolation, from much better original works.

Also a shockingly bad actor.

Beyonce. So bland.

Was coming on to say this. Her PR seemed to go into overdrive a few years back and people were practically bowing and scraping about her and calling her “Queen Beyoncé” and shit. Personally I much prefer her sister Solange’s music.

Also Adele - her music is depressing and maudlin imo.

James corden - cannot stand the man - how he got that gig in America il never know. Not one bit funny and seems like a nasty little bellend to boot. I’m sure he must have some shit on someone high up!

Kate middleton.

She's not a celebrity....🤷‍♂️

IglesiasPiggl · 11/05/2023 17:11

Simon Cowell. He is essentially just another businessman. Yawn.

whirlyhead · 11/05/2023 17:12

Ed sheeran.

can someone please just make him go away…

sam smith is getting tedious as well.

Booklover40 · 11/05/2023 17:13

winkleman,

Oh god yes! Nepotism at its finest. I think with many of these irritating celebs it’s that they have someone high up in the media in their family.

PermanentTemporary · 11/05/2023 17:15

All my celeb knowledge is from years ago now but I suppose the good thing is that if celebs end up in the public eye for decades, you kind of develop a fondness for them, and you hear a bit more about their abilities.

Im afraid I'm going to say Stephen Fry, who is a great chap and talented but he's not the second bloody coming, nor is he a top theologian or philosopher or psychiatrist or historian.

I agree Tom Cruises Scientology and associated behaviours appear dubious at best. "Going Clear" is the best documentary made on the topic, and he doesnt look good. However, and I'm no fan, he's a tremendous actor, with a huge screen presence. Very few people have that.

I'm going for Ed Sheeran. He has Busker levels of talent. I feel so sorry for today's youth if that's the best that's on offer.

Alisha Dixon.

Started in a third-rate girl band, somehow got picked for Strictly, released a terrible single, clung on for dear life, and is now still on prime time TV.

Her agent deserves a medal.

Gemma Collins. I'm old enough to remember when to become famous you had to be exceptional at something, singing, playing, writing etc. Fucked if I can see any talent in her beyond self promotion.
