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.

Davina McCall, I've met her and she's really nice, and very open and honest.

The footballer Jack Grealish is, by all accounts, a really nice man with a very down to earth attitude.

One person I recently changed my mind about is Abbey Clancy. I never used to like her but I recently watched the Peter Crouch documentary on Prime and she came across as a really nice, well grounded person.

Clive Myrie seems to be a lovely guy.
Monty Don, Keanu Reeves, Michael Palin.....all seem nice, kind men.

I'm not sure I'd want to hang out with someone who is "nice" - it's a bit bland and wishy-washy.
But I'd like to meet people who are interesting, good company and have a dry sense of humour. So I'd say:
Dame Judi Dench
Stanley Tucci
Barack Obama
Queen Camilla
Sir Kenneth Branagh
Hunter Davies

Claudia Winkleman
Matt Baker
Sara Cox

if I ever meet Claudia Winkleman the first thing I will do is knock her to the ground and cut her hair. Might slap her a few times too......yes definitely.

don't know Matt Baker but I do like Sara Cox, she sounds good fun even though I don't really like a lot of what she has on her R2 show.

@Ihateboris is that a person? Sorry to be confused but that sounds like a hybrid of Sarah Lancashire and Victoria Derbyshire! Apologies if I am wrong.

Was shocked how kind & humble Bono was on Graham Norton as always thought he would be a bit of a diva!

Could all be an act of course but I hope they are as nice as they seem!

Jack Black! Pure brilliance.

I met him - nicest, funniest most genuine person you could hope to meet.

I think Michael Ball seems lovely , loved him in Les Mis stage show, was most excited to be seeing Alfie Boe as JVJ, didn’t think much to seeing Michael Ball as Javert - but he outdid everyone on the stage, incl Alfie.
