I’ll start

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

And yes I know I’m being mean.

Oh dear. I've just read this thread and agreed with virtually everyone! Particularly Lorraine Kelly. She never let's anyone else get a word in edgeways, which is interesting given she is often supposed to be interviewing them.

He is dead now, but I never understood the adulation for Terry Wogan. Sorry.

Holly Willoughby
Hannah Waddingham
Gaby Roslin

All from the same mould aren’t they

Oh yes. Lorraine Kelly.. and more unreasonably of me, Olivia Colman.

Last week's Graham Norton was a cringe fest of Colman declaring undying love for Jodie Foster 😳
Lorraine Kelly is sooo fake nicey nicey, but Olivia seems genuinely nice.
But cringey.

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.

Oh God, yes. A completely irrational, long-standing dislike of her.

pictoosh · 19/02/2024 17:41

Ant and Dec

pictoosh · 19/02/2024 17:42

Harry Styles

FayCarew · 19/02/2024 17:42

@Nightblindness , apparently he was absolutely lovely in real life. He lived locally.
Michael Parkinson also lived locally and everyone describes him as being an arse.

pictoosh · 19/02/2024 17:43

Rylan

husbandcallsmepickle · 19/02/2024 17:43

Another vote for Kathryn Jenkins.
And I'll add Carol Kirkwood.

pinksunglasses · 19/02/2024 17:43

Another vote for Taylor Swift!

zigazigahhhh · 19/02/2024 17:43

I cannot stand Alison Hammond!!!

wizzywig · 19/02/2024 17:45

My inlaws. And Miriam margoyles (aren't you so clever and witty becuase you ask questions about sex?!). Stacy Dooley too

CharlieUniformNovemberTangoYankee · 19/02/2024 17:45

David Tennant. Arsehole.

And Sam Ryder. Don't ask me why, he just gets on my tit ends.

Poachedeggavocado · 19/02/2024 17:46

Completely agree on Miriam Margolis, was mildly okay with her til I read her autobiography. I'm no pearl clutcher but that was utterly vile.

Agree with Alison Hammond, too much, too loud, too everywhere.

mydogisthebest · 19/02/2024 17:46

I think quite a few of the people mentioned are not really liked by everyone.

Alison Hammond is disliked by many as is Davina McCall. I can't stand either of them but know many people agree with me

Dearg · 19/02/2024 17:46

Stephen Fry - a bit like Lulu ( also on my list) in thinking he’s a treasure
Prue Leith - can’t really articulate why

Yuckyyuckyuckity · 19/02/2024 17:47

Tom Allen. I've never heard the guy utter a single funny thing, yet he seems to be everywhere? He plays off being camp but isn't actually funny.

Hopefully won't get flamed for this but also Rosie Jones. CP or not she just isn't funny at all.

Cotswoldbee · 19/02/2024 17:48

Richie Anderson (R2).
Totally without talent or charisma but pops up everywhere and the BBC just love him. 🤢

Aww I'm sure he was lovely in person. There was just something about his flights of fancy that irritated me. And his faux modesty. I know. I'm horrible.

Iwantmyoldnameback · 19/02/2024 17:54

Linda Robson, Davina McColl, Ant and Dec and Harry bloody professional cockney Rednap

Hannah Gadsby. Unfunny, and fucking irritating.

WrinklesShminkles · 19/02/2024 17:59

Seconding Rosie Jones.

Putting forward Rick Stein (too often sneers at what other people choose to eat) and Gareth Malone (just ick).
