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.

Agree with Jimmy Carr, but then I think Katherine Ryan is friends with him, and surely she wouldn’t be if he was really a sleaze.

ETA just seen she has been mentioned a few times here. I used to dislike her but listen to her podcast and find myself agreeing with her a lot of things. Lots of comedians have a persona.
Same with Claudia Winkleman - I love her now.

Patrick Kielty just turns my stomach. Seems weasely and sly.

herewegoagainy · 10/02/2024 14:40

Judi Dench. I can't stand her.

He is now - he didn't used to be.

Not sure what's changed (or maybe my tastes have matured.)

David Walliams
James Cordon

Think they both seem like they’d be bad people in real life.

Emotionalsupportviper · 10/02/2024 14:51

I find David Jason a really slimy little bugger.

Timothee Chalamet- I have a visceral aversion to him, he just makes my flesh crawl, my stomach turn and an almost violent revulsion! I am not at all sure why I have such an intensely negative reaction to him!

It’s not his fault, but his face looks too feminine, pointy-chinned and triangular. Probably gives off similar vibes to someone who is clearly trans, despite being definitely male AFAWK.

We joke in our house that every time the tv is on Timothee Chalamet is featured. He’s forever popping up in a film trailer, advert, or mentioned. He is the most ubiquitous person around. We were watching something completely unrelated to him recently and joked that he’d get a mention - and he bloody did! Now even if it’s a toilet cleaner commercial we say is Timothee Chalamet in it? Aargh

MuchuseasaChocolateTeapot · 10/02/2024 14:51

love David Tennant!

Rochelle Holmes has got annoying nostrils
Ryan Gosling looks and sounds like he has nasal polyps
Benedict Cumberbatch looks like he’d have bad eye bogies

Martin Freeman and Ben Affleck give me red flag vibes

Ainslie Harriott
holly willougby
james cordon - definitely agree with this!

I meant legend obviously 🙄

Ledge end is better.

Unless you mean leg end, of course. Grin

Emotionalsupportviper · 10/02/2024 14:56

MrsFinkelstein · 09/02/2024 21:12

Ledge end

Or Leg end are still highly appropriate descriptors of her.

Oh bugger - I've just said this, and seen you've beaten me too it and it was to late to edit . . .

actually yes she is a leg end 😄

catin8oots · 10/02/2024 05:39

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.

I've been the same - except for Siobhan from the pottery thing. I like her.

Nanny0gg · 10/02/2024 15:05

salamithumbs · 09/02/2024 20:30

Yes! Watching James Acaster telling her to go and fuck herself on the last leg was immensely satisfying

Ooh. What did he say?/Why?

piefacedClique · 10/02/2024 15:08

I can’t stick her @SammyScrounge . We bought tickets to Elton John years ago and specifically picked a show it said she wouldn’t be at then lo and behold….. wahey ey ey ey…… raging! Can’t abide Jane McDonald either. Someone recommended her canary island series because she was in Lanzarote and we have spent a lot of time there and she ruined it! I switched off about about 5 minutes of her nonsense

piefacedClique · 10/02/2024 15:09

Sara cox is morphing in to Liza tarbuck too! I used to like her but she just talks utter tripe half the time

PrincessHoneysuckle · 10/02/2024 15:10

SkySecret · 10/02/2024 05:42

Agree with many already mentioned:

James Corden
Jamie Oliver
Russell Brand
Russell Howard
Entire last leg panel
Catherine Ryan

and would like to add:

Karl Pilkington. Talentless, unfunny clingon.

I’ve no doubt there’s more that aren’t currently springing to mind 😂

Karl Pilkington is definitely not a cling on wash your mouth out! 🤣
Hes never been bothered about being famous

I have no idea who he is. I must go and look him up.

MokaEfti · 10/02/2024 15:18

James Nesbitt
David Tennant
Anne Hathaway
Julia Roberts
Bono
James Corden
Anne Marie Duff

Iwasafool · 10/02/2024 15:18

I've looked him up and still have no idea who he is. Annoying way to spell Timothee though.

I suffer from poor facial recognition, not full on face blindness but not far off. I have to know someone well or with celebrities have seen them lots before I recognise them. I have been known to not recognise one of my kids as mine coming out of school. It makes watching films/tv challenging at times as I struggle to work out who people are. Much easier for me to watch things where I "know" people.

Mrsjayy · 10/02/2024 15:23

apparently that's the French spelling Timothee has a French parent.maybe his mum? I find him inoffensive although his showmance with the Jenner girl is annoying.

Februaryfeels · 10/02/2024 15:24

BakewellFart · 10/02/2024 15:13

Oh and Sara Cox and Zoe Ball

Oh yes. Both of them

But I do know why. They both sound like toddlers who can't speak properly
