I don't get to watch a lot of television, mostly because of work commitments, so I'm not hugely up to date on who's in the limelight but sometimes I just see someone who I think 'oh they seem so nice!'.

My fav right now is Annabel Croft. Just a lovely classy woman.

Graham Linehan

Yes, absolutely love him.

Spacemoon · 19/11/2023 15:26

Oti Mabuse, Sam Ryder, Harry Styles, Rylan Clarke, Graham Norton, Kate Winslet and Luke Evans all make me feel instantly happy when they pop up on something - they just have positive vibes and I love that.

Joey Essex.

Namenotavailableagain · 19/11/2023 15:28

Rylan. I just love everything about him.

LittleGreenDuck · 19/11/2023 15:29

@platinumplus I often do. It's hit or miss whether I make it to the end of the 10 o'clock news😴

Annabel Croft has had a very difficult time this year and does come across as a lovely person, but I think she has some extreme views, which don’t endear me to her.

100% Richard Ayoade

I’ve seen him in a restaurant local to me where you don’t have to book, with his wife. There was no space for him, he was so polite and nice about it though. We were frantically quietly trying to signal to the waitress/owner who he was and to try to make space for him somehow!

BigMadAndy · 19/11/2023 15:38

Ben shepherd seems very nice. No idea if that's all for show.

GonnaGetGoingReturns · 19/11/2023 15:38

Never met him, teenage crush and he’s sadly dead now but Nick Kamen in interviews came across as a lovely man, really nice and with good values.

Martin Kemp, not sure, saw him with Roman on Roman’s latest documentary and on a good day I’m sure he’s lovely but on a bad day not so much. Just based on his interaction with Roman.

PearlClutzsche · 19/11/2023 15:40

I also like Rylan, much to my surprise.

Also, Uncanny Danny!

Seeline · 19/11/2023 15:53

Michael Ball just seems really lovely.

TravellingT · 19/11/2023 16:06

Pam Ferris and Sarah Lancashire. No idea if they're nice (don't want to hear if they're not!) But they're so comforting to me, and I've seen them playing firm but fair and loving characters in so many things.

I like Rylan too, I could imagine having a chinwag with him

Ha, I just finished his book. He’s a very clever man and comes across as entirely self-deprecating.

doodlejump1980 · 19/11/2023 16:12

I would love to have a gin with Susan Calman. She’s the most positive cheery thing on tv at the mo. Think she’d be a brilliant laugh, and a jolly good pal to have.

Absolutely Graham Linehan, met in a pub, lovely man. I can recommend his current book Tough Crowd.

Love him. His sense humour amazing. Dark dry like mine. I think he would be a lovely guy too

Jenny Agutter. As a child I loved her in The Railway Children and still love her now in Call The Midwife.

Don't know if she counts as a celebrity in the UK (she certainly does in her native Canada) but Amber Marshall - actor in the series Heartland. She seems very grounded and genuine. Runs a ranch with her husband and is involved in several animal charities. Her instagram posts and YouTube videos are never focussed on herself, nor does she do product promotion. I would love to be her friend Smile

Oh she must be nice. And the actor who plays jack has to be

She's on now on some freeview channel, being sensible and kind with the nun who wants to read ladies' magazines Smile

I agree with all of these and I always think Kylie Minogue seems so lovely, so smiley and happy.

Chrysanthemum5 · 19/11/2023 16:24

Cat deeley and Patrick kielty I always think they seem lovely

He was lovely enough to help me out once with something I was writing. Efficient, kind, and hilarious.
