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

Tess Daly. Robot.

That round faced bald bloke who co presents master chef. He's On everything and he's an irritating wanker.

@M123gotns - I once read ( and I know Claudia Winkleman has been referenced ) - CW makes doing live TV look so easy & Tess Daly makes it look so hard.

@lightlypoached - if you are referring to Greg Wallace I am right with you there - never has any man I think gone so far with so little talent. Irritating beyond irritating.

George Ezra seems to have made a career out of recording nursery rhymes and irritating jingles, it’s not even music.

Adele was a really likeable and original artist a few years ago. Now she’s unrecognisable - like she’s been stretched and pressed through a shiny, glossy, machine and her face seems to have been pulled longways. Her voice still sounds like a honking goose unfortunately.

mdinbc · 11/05/2023 22:16

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.

Who the f**k is Tim Allen??

Show quote history

Probably the most internationally famous person in that list lol

Jennifer Aniston. Utterly, irrevocably average. Plays the same one dimensional role in every film. Looks like a plain Jane that happens to have a decent stylist/time to burn in the gym. Not talented or pretty enough to be famous for so long. Just deeply beige in every respect.

At yet, so much less annoying than Angelina Jolie

Megan trainor

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

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

Came to say this.

Omg, he really is.

The only things I know about Tim Allen are:

  1. The Santa Clause films
  2. He's apparently not a great person

Wouldn't say he's overrated because I almost never hear of him.

Agree with previous posters re: Harry Styles, Ed Sheeran, the Kardashians etc. All extremely dull. We are really lacking in 'star quality' nowadays.

Mistressofnone · 11/05/2023 22:53

Lorraine Kelly - how does she have her own show? The only time it's any good is when someone else guest presents it.

Clawdy · 11/05/2023 22:54

Adele. Can't stand her now.

Grin "with a donk on it". So true!

I think people think Ed Sheeran is unattractive purely because he looks like a normal bloke and then you see him standing beside a literal male model or movie star and he’s never going to come out on top there, is he?

WRT the OP, for me it’s Emma Watson. I could go on for days about films she has ruined with her Eyebrow Acting.

He is unattractive, so pasty!!

Bruno Tolioli. Just why?

Also agree Joel Domett is a comic who has never said anything funny in his life!

Prince William’s wife

Really? Im surprised, I respect your opinion obviously but just don't understand it.
I think she's so wonderful, dignified and a great role model.

Helendegenerate · 11/05/2023 23:33

I agree with around 99 % of all those named in this thread but James Corden for me is extremely high on the list of personalities I would love to punch in the cake hole. Gino deCampo can do one as well. Mustn't leave out those with wombs. Katie Price and Gemma Collins are equally horrendous imo.

StarbucksSmarterSister · 11/05/2023 23:54

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

I still don't know which one is which. 😂
