I don’t like David Tennant, can’t put my finger on why he just seems a bit creepy. I’m sure he’s not I just don’t like him.

Another nasty thread about people we don’t know, how original.

If you and all the other people whinging and moaning about how this thread is mean, horrible, nasty etc then don't read it. People are entitled are to their opinion and are entitled to voice it in any way they see fit. Do you not dislike anyone just because? Do you like everyone you see or meet?

I’m so shocked at all of you who get the ick from the lovely DT, he seems like the cutest guy ever. Big fan girl of his wife too.

Now someone who gives me the ick is Justin Timberlake

Iwant2beJessicaFletcher · 10/02/2024 12:17

Lorraine Kelly. I just dont find her sincere or likeable.

Lulu, Amanda Holden, Sara cox! Sorry

Lulu? I really like her.

Mosaic123 · 10/02/2024 12:22

Jimmy Carr is creepy to me. It's partly his laugh.

ComfortableAtLastTookLongEnough · 10/02/2024 12:23

Andi Oliver (so called chef) just didn’t like her, this dislike felt quite irrational, then I discovered she went bankrupt owing HMRC a ton of money.

And then someone told me the other day that she withheld tips during Covid to the value of circa £9,000 said they were holding on to it, until the Covid payments landed, not your staffs problem, they still have bills to pay.

Whenever she appears on screen DH has to remind me that we don’t need a new TV and to remain calm. 😂

You’re right! Everyone is being mean about my husband David tennant and I’ll find where you all live and make the nasty women apologise personally to our beautiful children.

Is that you Georgia? 😝
I'm a David fan. Don't get all the creepy comments personally 🤷🏻‍♀️

I don't get the animus against David Tennant either. He's a fine actor and a very nice man.

Whoeverwins · 10/02/2024 12:27

Catherine Zeta-Jones...again no reason why. Just can't watch a film she's in!!!

biggarbiggar · 10/02/2024 12:28

Plenty of people named on this thread are justifiably unlikeable due on their personal behaviour. I know why I don't like Mark Wahlberg and Russell Brand!

awaynboilyurheid · 10/02/2024 12:30
  • comfortable* Yes is Andi Oliver even a chef? Forgot to add her to my dislike list , now dislike her even more. Mary Berry reminds me of teachers at school, could turn scary with me because I’m useless at baking.

Every single person mentioned so far. Maybe I just dislike everyone. Smile

But let's have a massive shout out for how awful Dermot O'Leary is.

Absolutely - can not listen to him - soooo boring - I have to switch off.
Plus s newsreader on R2 whose voice goes up and down so much I can’t hear half of what he says -winds me up so much I have to turn radio off.
Kate Humble - too bloody goody 2 shoes

@awaynboilyurheid

Thank you, thank you, I used to think I was the only person in the world.

Will show your post to DH and despite being 60 the words nah nah,and nah nah may slip out.😂

I understand the tips thing but do you really dislike people because they've gone bankrupt? I don't think people do it for the fun of it. I know someone who went bankrupt and it was horrific, the damage to their children losing their home, moving schools and ultimately seeing their parents marriage breaking up under the pressure was not something I'd want. I honestly sympathise with people this happens to.

RestingMurderousFace · 10/02/2024 12:36

Sarah Paulson gives me the creeps. No idea why.

3peassuit · 10/02/2024 12:36

Claudia Winkleman, just one look at her gives me unjustifiable rage. Rick Stein irritates the hell out of me, no idea why.

diamondpony80 · 10/02/2024 12:39

Jim Carrey, all of those weird facial expressions. He’s really the only celebrity I actively make a point of not watching.

Iwasafool · 10/02/2024 12:39

I just googled Andi Oliver (because I didn't know who she was) and all the articles that came up said it was her daughter who went bankrupt owing over £174,000 to HMRC not Andi Oliver. Don't know if that is true. The story about the tips came up.

Don't forget these people or their families could be on Mumsnet and you could really damage their mental health.

I mean, really, if you are any of these celebs, you have had a lifetime of being in the public eye. If you click on a thread 'celebrities I don't like but don't know why' (or google yourself and it comes up) thinking 'This isnt going to be about me because Im so amazing, well really you need to start looking after your own mental health by staying off the internet or at the very least not reading threads about people giving their opinion on celebrities!

PennyPugwash · 10/02/2024 12:42

Kiara knightly
Anne Hathaway

Hate them. No idea why 🤣

Not bankrupt per se, but it was tax due, therefore in my opinion there should have been provision made for it, totally different again in my opinion to someone having debt that spirals out of control. Probably should have worded that better.

OhNoWhatIf · 10/02/2024 12:46

It used to be Nicole Kidman for me for ages then I warmed to her and look for things to watch her in.

This thread makes me laugh.

DB has worked with or knows of some of these here (SIL’s aunt, uncle and their DD, SIL’s cousin are all actors but DD doesn’t act anymore) as he’s worked in film/TV. I can tell you the ones he’s worked with as an Art Director and he thinks are lovely and the ones not so nice. But DB generally gets on with everyone.

Dominic West, had him come into a building where she works and says he’s a rude entitled arse. David Walliams said this before picked up her cousin I think when she was working or dining at The Ivy (the main one), she was probably early 20s and he was at least 13-16 years older than her. They started dating, he flew her out to his place in LA where after a day or so she came across evidence he was seeing someone else. So she flew straight back to London.

People I find creepy. Lorraine. Dominic West. Ant and Dec. Rest I can give or take I think.

I didn't really think anything of Dominic West until he was caught canoodling Lily James. The canoodling a much younger co-star I would have thought is par for the course, but it was the 1980's politician 'My marriage is rock solid' statement afterwards. Does he really think so much of himself that he thinks people care about his marriage? Poor Lily James must have cringed herself inside out that she left the lovely Matt Smith for some silly old married guy!

OhNoWhatIf · 10/02/2024 12:47

I don't mind Lorraine Kelly but my Dad really dislikes her.

I think the issue is the way tax is collected if you aren't on PAYE, It can be nearly two years before you pay tax on income and things can change so much, I bet lots of businesses got caught out in the pandemic as they tried to carry on dipping into money that had been put aside.

Apart from that did she go bankrupt or was it her daughter?

Robbie Williams
Holly Willoughby
Sharon Osbourne
Michael Mcintyre
Colleen Nolan

Michael McIntyre is a strange one, I like his brand of humour, but there is just something about him that grates on me.
