Celebs you like just because they seem nice!

[Puffypuffin]

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.

Disclaimer: this is a completely vacuous, unimportant, lighthearted thread.

David Lammy, MP and broadcaster. He always sounds like such a nice man.

Louis Theroux
Ricky Gervais
Fiona Bruce
Susie Dench
Cat Deely
Emma Willis

I also came on again to say Olivia Colman but see someone else has …I love her as an actress and she made a speech at an awards ceremony once where she just seemed so lovely and down to earth…doesn’t seem to crave the limelight as much as some other big stars as well. Some people have mentioned Ricky Gervais…I love his comedy, especially the office and have seen a stand up show of his, however I am not sure how ‘nice ‘ he is…he seems a bit arrogant and fame has gone to his head, in the kind of ‘I’m right your wrong’ kind of way some famous men are…iyswim. All hidden behind self deprecation and ‘comedy’

This is just the sort of thing I can imagine Claudia winkleman saying abiut herself. Ha ha!

@Lolalovesroses Emma Willis does seem lovely!

Why did you do that? He probably didn't want special treatment.

Bradley Walsh, Rylan & Davina McCall. All seem great.

Also Britney Spears. Although she was probably too nice for the industry. Hence how things ended up they way that they have. Lots of old clips of her online lately. She came across as so sweet and polite to everyone. Even when interviewers were being blatant ass holes toward her. No airs or graces about her despite being the biggest pop star at the time.

I agree, love them.

Currently reading Sir Patrick Stewart's autobiography and it confirms that he really is such a warm and modest person as he seems to become over elsewhere

Tony Blackburn
Dermot O'Leary
(and love the genuine friendship / affection between them when Tony hands over to Dermot on a Saturday morning).

Alison Steadman
Sally Dynevor
Sue Johnston
Chris Packham

What extreme views does she have? I was unfamiliar with her and haven't seen anything come up when I google her and now I need to know!

I'm sure I've read somewhere that Rylan credits his career to the fact he was always nice to the runners when he first got famous - and as those runners have gone on to become producers etc, they're paying him back with lots of work. (Not that I think that was his plan, I think he's just genuinely nice)

What are Annabel Crofts extreme views 😬

Rylan, Stacey Solomon, Emily Maitlis, Keanu Reeves, Andi Oliver and Neneh Cherry, Stormzy and Maya Jama

I'll add Simon Reeve. My mum likes him because he swears 🤣
Also Jeremy Deller, Turner Prize winning artist who did the most brilliant artwork commemorating the battle of the Somme.

I came to say Lucy Worsley!

Dave Grohl.
Billie Joe Armstrong.
George Ezra.
Lewis Capaldi.

YES!! I 2nd Dave Grohl... sound bloke.

Sara Cox

Angela Scanlon
Sophie Rayworth
Monty Don
Jo Brand

A pp has mentioned Roman Kemp - I agree. He strikes me as very down to earth and empathetic. He's a talented presenter. All round good guy I think. Definitely well brought up

Brenda Blethyn
Jo Brand
Marcus Rashford
Tony Blackburn
Bobby Brazier
Chris Whitty

Kate Humble
Lucy Worsley
Maggie Smith

Also thought of another one, Monica Galetti from Masterchef. In early series she was quite fierce with the contestants and had that reputation, but I’ve watched that hotels programme with her on, and she comes across as a really strong woman, says it like it is, but also with a really kind side. I can imagine her being lovely in real life…prepared for someone who’s met her to come along and tell me I’m wrong though!
