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

Just to add my two penn'orth in... Paul McCartney is most definitely overrated. I will give him Hey Jude as it's a catchy song. Apart from that it's a bit meh.

You’re going to tip that poster over the edge with that comment...a catchy song....😂😂😂

Helendegenerate · 13/05/2023 00:29

Well you have to hand it to these individuals of questionable talent. Most of them are xxxxing millionaires. 😬

IfOnlyOurEyesSawSouls · 13/05/2023 00:33

Tom Cruise = knob

Phillip Schofield= knob

Jamie Oliver = knob

Holly Willoby = knob

Gethin Jones = knob

IfOnlyOurEyesSawSouls · 13/05/2023 00:33

Oh and James Cordon = knob

IfOnlyOurEyesSawSouls · 13/05/2023 00:34

Plus Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon are both knobs.

FangedFrisbee · 13/05/2023 00:36

Holly whilloughby and schofield. Also basically anyone on itv that Isn't David tenant and Olivia Colman in broadchurch.

Ridiculous all of them

BodyKeepingScore · 13/05/2023 00:39

Kim Kardashian. In fact, any Kardashian.

Justleaveitblankthen · 13/05/2023 00:55

James Corden.

Tried his American show (Saturday night live?) a few times to see what all the fuss was about.
Cringely bad. Delivered the moderately funny lines (written by a team) in such a wooden way it was painful..and he was an Actor?!
Just never got it. Seems like Schofie behind the scenes too..

Oh, and Adele.

CallieQ · 13/05/2023 01:19

Ant or Dec

Surely the number one spot has to go to Brooklyn Beckham?

MoggyMittens23 · 13/05/2023 05:47

I was coming on to say The Beatles then caught sight of all the drama!

It would if he was a celebrity … but he isn’t, he’s a clown

I’m halfway between deeply disliking him to actually feeling sorry for him, he’s completely oblivious to how ridiculous he comes across

Emma Watson - but I think she might only be overrated by herself. She is devoid of any genuine acting talent and seems to be trying to position herself as the queen of woke, but just comes out with such uneducated anti-woman rubbish that I can't imagine anyone doing anything other than laughing when she speaks.

See Jameela Jamil for virtually the same reasons.

Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and the similar who have no right to be sat in judgment on the talent of others since they are hugely lacking in it themselves.

Sam Smith, you'd be hard pushed to find a more irritating full of himself overrated/under-talented annoyance. Still expecting him to pop up and admit he's been trolling everyone for months/years because it's the only thing that makes sense since he can't possibly believe his own hype.

See Dylan Mulvaney for similar reasons to Sam smith. Hopelessly devoid of talent unless he is playing the long game. Not sure what the aim is there though so probably talentless anyway.

James Corden
Beyoncé

Megan trainor

full of her self and punts out what sounds like nursery rhymes with a donk on it

Ha! That's hilariously accurate and made me laugh out loud.

dayswithaY · 13/05/2023 07:37

Zoe Ball and Sara Cox. Cannot listen to either of them uttering just one syllable without cringing.

Zoe is all fake breathless, it’s all so amazing, I’m so excited, this is brilliant, fake and insincere. Like a character from Enid Blyton that she’s invented, because we want to listen to a chattering robot who constantly sucks air in through their teeth.

Sara Cox, like so many professional Northerners she’s lived in London longer than the North and probably practices her accent every morning. An overgrown teenager who likes to pretend she’s an accident prone, crazy gal when in reality she’s just a pampered middle class woman. Probably wears novelty socks and slogan T shirts just to reinforce the “I’m mad, me” image.

And her fringe is more annoying than Claudia’s.

Stacey Dooley

Sunseeker100 · 13/05/2023 08:13

I know she's probably only overrated by herself but Geri Halliwell/Horner whatever. I feel murderous when I see her on TV and amazed she's not been mentioned yet.

Sam Smith - attention seeking twat
Adele - as above
Amanda Holden - as above
And so many more!

As a pp said, would be easier to name those who aren't overrated!

The only thing Stephen Fry is good is going "Baaahhhhhh".

Totally overrated.

Katie Price. Famous for shagging men and having ludicrous tits.

Doesanyoneelsespendagespickingausername · 13/05/2023 09:07

Davina McCall.

Katie Price. Famous for shagging men and having ludicrous tits.

I dont think anyone has ever rated her? Maybe back in mid to late 2000s.

I'll add in Madonna. I'm afraid her voice is just nice, her hype was always about shocking people and being raunchy. Was never a fan.

Agreed. Can't stand her. She's a weak singer, and I've always got a narcissistic vibe from her, like she thinks she invented pop music.

custardbear · 13/05/2023 10:12

Agree with most on this thread, some of my top choices

Meghan Markle - dreadful
Amanda Holden - see above
Tess Daley - terrible presenter and wet lettuce
David Walliams - creepy and weird
KarKrashians - all
Of them and their family - what's the point?!
Beckham family - as above albeit DB was a good footballer
James Corden and Jonathan Ross - ug!
Anyone is TOWIE/Chelsea bollocks
Mylene klass - just no

I'm sure there are more
