Who's the most overrated celebrity, to you?

[Peppermaynt]

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

Ant and Dec
Harry Hill
Frank Skinner
Alexander Armstrong
Richard Osman
Tom Allen
Phil and Holly (obviously)
Lorraine Kelly
Carol McGiffin
Coleen Nolan

Lorraine Kelly
Stephen Mulhern - can't stand him, especially on that In For a Penny when he thrusts his pelvis out and acts like a bloody teenager!
Gregggggg Wallace
Joe Swash

Joanna Lumley

One of those actresses who just plays...Joanna Lumley in everything she does. Ok then her Patsy was probably her best but but other than that I can't understand why she's almost seen as royalty.

Kanye West

He must have done something good to get as rich and famous as he is but I can't recognise that he can sing or rap any better than me or the bloke next door.

I have tried to "get it" but can't remember any of the stuff he's written so perhaps it's just not my thing and I am out of step with the majority.

He can cook. He is a fully-trained chef. Some people are fully-trained numpties. Who is winning at life, hen?

I'm a fully-trained chef and I can tell you life is pretty great really.
So you tell me. How's life treating you? 😊

Sure you are, doll. Every happy person with a fulfilled life loves to start 'who do you hate' threads. And you are a fully-trained chef? Again, who is winning at life?

Get back in the knife drawer @midsomermurderess This was a light-hearted thread until you came along!

Anyone who thinks Paul McCartney is an ‘overrated celebrity’ is thick, sorry.

McCartney is a genius. His music not be to everyone’s taste, but he is up there with Mozart and Beethoven. His music will still be played 200 years from now. Putting him on a list with Ant and Dec makes you look seriously stupid, @HowDoYouDoWhatYouDoToMeIWishIKnew .

All of them. I detest celebrity culture. It’s nauseating .

Helen Skelton. Can’t watch her, she’s awful
Clare Balding-she’s everywhere. She knows nothing about tennis & is replacing Sue Barker on Wimbledon now

Joe Lycett. I'd rather drive lit matches behind my nails than watch him. And what is he for anyway?

Claudia Winkleman and her bloody fringe. Is she the 'star' or is her fringe? Should it maybe have it's own show? Ugh.

Anyone 'famous' for doing fuck all. Gemma Collins, and kind of Kardashian, influencers, Love Island rejects, Apprentice rejects. They can all get to fuck.

🤣🤣 clearly touched a nerve there.

Not really, I’m just saying it as it is. There’s a difference between a celebrity and an artist. James Cordon is a celebrity; McCartney is an artist. If you don’t know that, you don’t know anything about art. It’s not exactly surprising - the dumbing down of the education system and the rise of social media and reality TV has produced a generation of morons, let’s be honest. But the good thing about the internet is that you can easily use it to educate yourself. I would if I were you.

Paul, is that you? 🤣🤣

Erm, no, it’s 99% of the world’s population over the age of 30 who aren’t on Mumsnet.

Anyone who thinks Paul McCartney is an ‘overrated celebrity’ is thick, sorry. McCartney is a genius.

You do realise you don't need to insult people if they hold a different opinion to you?

Not a genius for me. Decent songwriter but very average singer and performer (it's the bad dad dancing that makes me cringe).

He was a member of a boyband who got lucky, writes pretty mediocre music, and cannot sing for toffee anymore (and only just scraped by in the first place). He is the epitome of 'right place, right time'.

It's Friday night, shouldn't you be at a local park asking teens wearing band t-shirts to name 3 songs rather than fangirling over the insipid McCartney online, and calling strangers thick for having a valid opinion about him. I'm embarrassed for you.

I agree. He's probably a right wanker in real life but McCartney is a genius.

'I'm embarrassed for you'. This, from a woman who chooses mainly to express herself by way of the 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 emoji. It's Friday night. Maybe use it for some self reflection.

He was a member of a boyband who got lucky,

Are you referring to the Beatles?? A "member of a boyband who got lucky?"

Fucking hell🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bloody hell, who knew my opinion about McCartney would be so controversial

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nothing to do with him. I'm commenting on your chosen method of expressing yourself. Essentially passive aggressive idiocy. From an adult woman. It would be embarrassing from a teenager.

My eyes are dry and hurting as a side effect from having my chemo so I was trying not to be quite so wordy and make spelling mistakes, consider me chastised though. I promise I'll do better next time, then you can pick on my spelling instead of my emojis.

Fucking hell.
