Ferne cotton - I'm sorry but she's awful.

Anyone else you can't stand ?

Chris Packham by miles.

He’s grown on me lately! But I remember him
from kids TV.

Lorraine Kelly with her "really really" and her embarrassing flirting.
Alison "I love her/him/that" Hammond.

Amol Rajan ...just doesn't sound as if he's prepared the interview and his diction is sloppy, I tolerate him but wish he was somewhere else .

Twyford · 05/08/2023 07:28

Nick Ferrari. He's so bigoted and smug, and I hate the way he talks over people he disagrees with.

Kernackered · 05/08/2023 07:30

Anyone with a gravelly voice. Nick Robinson, Holly Willoughby, the lady on Loose Women, Vassos on Chris Evans' show. I spend the whole time they're talking consciously trying to suppress a cough because it's not my throat that needs to be cleared. It's like nails on a chalkboard for me

Amol Rajan - he doesn’t just speak badly, he swallows words and is very hard to understand (especially if you are only half awake!)

Nonsense, he's perfectly easy to understand.

Dombasle · 05/08/2023 07:33

Gormless Mark Wright, dim witted Sara Cox, just plain nasty Zoe Ball and that horrible little man Roman Kemp who has the IQ of a dead fish.

Witchbitch20 · 05/08/2023 07:34

Zoe Ball is not for me (but I assume I wouldn’t be her cup of tea either).

I still miss Terry Wogan so perhaps I’m just stuck in different times.

Heywhatawobderfulkindofday · 05/08/2023 07:35

Mark Wright
Radio- all the young people on bbc1 who make me feel old

Willmafrockfit · 05/08/2023 07:36

Faisal Islam, i cant understand what he is saying.
Zoe Ball, i just dont listen to her.
Scott Mills annoys me
Chris Mason is on the radio which is hard to get my ears round

Everyone currently on radio 2 😥. I still miss Simon mayo and Ken Bruce. Steve Wright was the worst though.
Amol R is great - his diction is a bit of a shock compared to the rest of the today presenters but I’ve got used to it and like him now.

Get yourself over to Greatest Hits radio where they are both on. Simeon’s Drivetime show is just as brilliant as it always was.

Willmafrockfit · 05/08/2023 07:37

Cannot watch George Clarke

Brunoandthebigfoot · 05/08/2023 07:37

*Simon’s!

Brunoandthebigfoot · 05/08/2023 07:38

I think Scott Mills is the worst ever. Boring voice and boring content. I can’t listen to Radio 2 any more (and I’m early 40s so not that old!).

Mojodojocasahaus · 05/08/2023 07:38

Holly Willoughby - personality of a sticklebrick

GonnaGetGoingReturns · 05/08/2023 07:39

I used to work with him years ago. Strange man. Lovely eyes though!

Willmafrockfit · 05/08/2023 07:41

Dermot O'Leary,
i used to like him in the early days of big brother

Bonjovispjs · 05/08/2023 07:44

Claudia Winkleman, everyone seems to love her, but I certainly don't, she's the sole reason I don't watch strictly. Also totally agree with those saying Holly Willoughby and Gary Lineker.

user1494050295 · 05/08/2023 07:46

one of the presenters for the women’s football World Cup. Glottal stops. I have to watch it on mute. Eva is pronounced either. Bring back RP

Jimmy Savile

AJ Odudu. Her MO is just to shout constantly. No idea how she made it on to TV.

MaidOfSteel · 05/08/2023 09:31

Ant & Dec. 2 grown men acting like schoolboys.

Totally agree with this.

Zoe Ball is terrible too, she's all about the name dropping and loving everyone/everything.

Willmafrockfit · 05/08/2023 09:56

Jo Wiley is the name dropper!
however i do like the music she plays
