I’ll start

Georgia Tennant. I don’t know why. Is it jealousy? I dunno 🤷‍♀️

And yes I know I’m being mean.

Lots!
Miriam Margolyes, agree with PP, tries to hard to be ‘shocking’
Terry Wogan, not so much an issue now obviously but I always found him creepy in a Saville esq. way.
Taylor Swift - mediocre singer, don’t get the hype.
Jamie Oliver, self righteous twat
Miranda Hart, not funny. Ditto Brendan thingy from Mrs Brown’s Boys

Put my tv on tonight and behold! Noel Edmonds. Lucky New Zealand has got him and his business enterprise. He's obviously heard of the success of Clarkson's Farm - another charmer but a decent production - and is having a go himself. Approximate quote "they said I sacked 17 people. Absolutely untrue. It was winter so I had to let them go". He's gone totally crystals and nature and the great cosmos yet still has the self awareness off a midge. Fortunately I could only take 15 minutes of it so can't report further on progress. NZ, apologies, but please keep him.

I remember Noel Edmonds on radio 1 boasting about his helicopter. Another odd bod , but immensely successful.

Jonathan Ross. He sets my teeth on edge.

Years ago, I'd have said Russell Brand as well, but I think everyone hates him now.

Katherine Jenkins, the opera singer.

I have absolutely no idea why - I'm sure she's a perfectly lovely person who rescues old ladies and helps stray kittens cross the road etc - but something about her makes me grind my teeth.

Pleasant voice but not all that great at the more operatic stuff. I don't mind her as a person, but I don't consider her a serious opera singer . To be fair though she doesn't claim to be I don't think! Now, Jamie Barton, that is a major operatic voice. But of course she doesn't look quite as good in a slinky little dress. Being slim and attractive sells when it comes to "popera."

Lulu was on the radio this morning and she is so smug it made me want to punch the radio set. I wasn’t able to turn it off either as was in the back of a cab! (She winds me up so much and I’ve never even met her and never will )

The professional Glaswegian in the same vein as Cilla Black the professional Scouser.

Tanni Grey-Thompson. Gives me the irrits.

I avoided R2 yesterday knowing she on. The spectacle she made of herself on the BBC during the Platinum Jubilee was shocking.

Frank Skinner can’t stand her. He calls her Lucifer’s Representative on Earth.

Like you, he doesn’t buy the sugary facade.

ClawdeenWolf · 21/06/2025 10:21

Yes to Hannah Waddingham! Can’t stand her, looks like the sort of girl who’d spread lies about her ex BBF giving her boyfriend a blowjob in Yr10.

newnamethanks · 21/06/2025 13:08

Frank Skinner? Yuk, no.

There's something about her I don't like but I don't know what it is. She reminds me of Zoe Lucker.

she said she was bullied at school but it turns out that SHE was the bully🙄

Bunniesnotbullies · 21/06/2025 14:55

I went right off Frank Skinner when he took the piss out of a long handled comb, the sort someone who is unable to use a non-funny Hmm one might need, on Room 101. Prick.

Maya Jama. I think it's her voice.

@TheAverageJoanne Yes! Completely agree. The smile that doesn’t reach the eyes.

ClawdeenWolf · 22/06/2025 15:38

@megatwat That doesn’t surprise me in the slightest. I feel vindicated!
