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

Anyone else you can't stand ?

The gormless Kemp lad on The One Show. Nepotism or what. Sick of all these shows which stars do with family. Stop it
Mustbe annoying for talented folk who cannot get a break

Can't believe nobody has said Chris Moyles yet!

I thought this even though l am fan of his and listen to Radio X every day, l know he is quite unpopular

BearSoFair · 05/08/2023 21:11

Leona Graham. I always think she sounds like she's trying so hard to have a 'radio voice' that she ends up over-enunciating in weird places. "HOW many WORDS can I stress in THIS sentence?"

Amol Rajan
Really didn't like him when he joined the Today programme - he does come across like he's just rolled out of bed and there's somewhere else he'd rather be - but I've watched a few of his BBC2 interviews and he's grown on me

methodbehindmymadness · 05/08/2023 21:32

Loraine Kelly or Alison Hammond

Jagley · 05/08/2023 21:38

Alison Hammond
Nick Ferrari
Claudia Winkleman

AlfietheSchnauzer · 05/08/2023 21:42

I love Nick Ferrari! He's like a voice of comfort to me, I think he's hilarious. James O'Brien is nice and extreeeeemely intelligent but I must admit to zoning out on his extra long speeches. He'd transform the House of Commons single-handedly though, without a doubt.

Cannot stand Lorraine Kelly! She talks over everyone she interviews which is a pet hate of mine

Jonathan Ross

Awful presence and voice. Don’t understand how he is where he is at all.

Ohmylovejune · 05/08/2023 22:06

Steve Wright

Coffeeandcake12 · 05/08/2023 22:08

Lorraine Kelly
Danny Dyer on that quiz show on bbc1

Savemesos · 05/08/2023 22:11

Ronan Keating on the One Show. I can’t bare his weasely face. He comes across completely fake.

Agree! She’s particularly wooden.

I also agree with pp about Richie Anderson.

Stormydanielss · 05/08/2023 22:20

Cannot stand Lorraine Kelly - so fake and talks or giggles over everyone
Noel something on gmb the America reporter cannot speak properly uses d's when it should be th and gets over excited
Tv always seems to use the same presenters for everything and they just become boring and overused
Eg. Ant and dec, dermot etc

FuckYouEzekiel · 05/08/2023 22:23

Scott Mills
Zoe Ball

The best is Chris Skinner (the countryside hour) evey sunday morning on Radio Norfolk. I look forward to it all week.

PlasticineKing · 05/08/2023 22:31

@Meadowfly get yourself across to Greatest hits radio. Some of the daytime shows are local and not great, but drive time is great and Ken is there too. I used to be a die hard R2 fan but it’s just a heap of shit these days IMO

Miquita Oliver. I can’t stand her. So screechy and loves herself. They had a replacement on Sunday Brunch last week as presumably Miquita was on holiday and she was so much better.

Holly Willoughby grinds my gears too.

Richard Osman, I should like him but whenever House of Games comes on I want to scratch my eyes out and so switch over.

Nepotism. Her mum is Andi Oliver!

FlamingYam · 05/08/2023 22:34

There are some LBC presenters tht talk over their guests to the point I wonder why they have guests/phone lines at all. I still feel bad naming who I think is the worst as I bet they are on here.

Also, would it kill the producers to mute the mic when the presenter isn't talking?! I'm fed up of listening to the breathing. Argh!!!!

Jk987 · 05/08/2023 22:35

Matt Baker - dull as dishwater.

Jk987 · 05/08/2023 22:40

Zoe Ball is brilliant! Like her humour and positivity- got me through lockdown!

Groutyonehereagain · 05/08/2023 22:41

James O’Brien. He’s so rude and so opinionated. He’s led a very privileged life and pretends he knows all about hardship. He’s a patronising git.

xyz111 · 05/08/2023 22:45

Ant and Dec. Can't stand them!!!!! Don't understand the UK obsession with them 🤦🏻‍♀️

TragicMuse · 05/08/2023 22:46

Oh my god, Shaun Keaveney.

Professional northerner, professional grumpy man. I loathed his 6 music breakfast show. He clearly hated doing it. If it's so fucking awful do something else you graceless whinging twat.
