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

Drew fucking Barrymore I literally can't stand her snivelling to all the guests on her show.
She comes across so simpering.

Ed Sheeran no woman would be able to turn up for a gig dressed like him.
They'd be crucified.

Taylor Swift she's so boring and bland.
She's just too nice.

Lady Gaga complete rip off merchant.

Adam Sandler. Just why.

Lewis Capaldi - sounds like a cat having its knackers done

Well, you have a higher opinion of the badly cooked dumpling than I have.

Yes, Ed Sheeran, when did croaky whining replace singing?

Jamie Oliver, smug twat who got the gig because he had some friends in the telly business.

Sam Smith - please! Just get a job in a bloody garden centre.

STACY SOLOMAN makes my teeth itch.

Kardashians by a country mile. Look at their insane influence/wealth - so overrated!

And they got that fame from Kim doing a sex tape and then flogging themselves and their dubious wares to the highest bidder. I'll give them kudos though - they've made billions from absolutely nothing. Look at Kylie Jenner - a teenager who got lip filler and then flogged fake 'lip kits' to supposedly make other people's lips look like hers - except the only way to do that was get filler like she did. And she was a billionaire by the time she was 21. The thought of it makes my head want to explode.

Awww I love Adam Sandler .
The Wedding Singer ( with Drew Barrymore Grin ) is one of my favourite films

Funnily enough I love that film
But I think it's because they don't play themselves.
Plus Billy Idol is in it ,so what's not too like.

I like Adam Sandler. He’s unapologetically himself. I saw Jennifer Anniston playfully mocking his outfits when promoting their film and he was just ‘well this is me’. He
looks like a dad at a barbecue! His basketball film is great too. Sorry I forgot the name!

SillyChumpster · 13/05/2023 13:16

If they count as celebrities, the Radfords. How people can think Noel and Sue are good parents is completely beyond me.

Agree with most on here. I am adding Dara O'Brien and Lauren Laverne...

Oh love Lauren!

And not only is he a genius songwriter, he is widely regarded (by nearly everyone in the world who is not on Mumsnet), as one of the best vocalists in rock music history:

This was mostly screeching

Holly and Phil
Keith Lemon
Amanda Holden
Alisha Dixon
Gino DeCampo
Simon Cowell
Gary Barlow
Dermot O Leary

greencardigangirl · 13/05/2023 18:13

And any of the Diversity lot

greencardigangirl · 13/05/2023 18:14

And yes David Attenborough for me too - I just don't get the love for him at all

greencardigangirl · 13/05/2023 18:18

And Paul McCartney and if that makes me thick then so be it

JMSA · 13/05/2023 20:51

Keira Knightley.

Liorae · 13/05/2023 22:00

I agree. Everything he did post Beatles was embarrassing.

Clawdy · 13/05/2023 22:39

I saw Paul McCartney in concert just a few years ago and he was amazing - as he was at Glastonbury recently.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 14/05/2023 00:03

Danny Dyer
Cockney Scrunched Up Face Geezer -every acting role he plays :Danny Dyer
Every other word Fuckin' this and Fuckin' that
His constipated looking little face on Eastenders must've been when they shouted "CUT - c'mon Danny this goes out at 7.3 so no swearing before the watershed" for the twentieth time
And he's thinking I need to get to the khazi for a Richard (the third=turd) I'm going to Tom Tit (shit) meeself

And if you want nepo-baby
Danny Dyer's Daughter Dani Dyer fits the bill

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.

I just had to look these two up, as I didn’t know who they are. They look interchangeable to me.

Who / what are they?

QueenCamilla · 14/05/2023 10:26

Ricky Gervais.
Not an ounce funny. Smug. But with a voice like his no one should be smug.

Sam Smith. Unbearable.

moonriverandme · 14/05/2023 11:05

I can't think of one that doesn't annoy me in one way or another. I hate the cult of celebrity.

Helendegenerate · 14/05/2023 12:23

He's so bad I'm saying it again 😏 James Corden 😬

mastertomsmum · 14/05/2023 15:35

For those who know this PM song:

Maybe I’m amazed
At the way you diss me all the time

Maybe I’m amazed
That you fell the need to

😂

@SinnerBoy The Radfords are the family from the Channel 5 programme 22 Kids and Counting. They are famous for having far too many children and going on far too many holidays!
