How have I read 5 pages with no mention of Jamie Oliver?! I don’t know why I dislike him so much but I do!

Also Jeremy Clarkson is a vile human being. Racist, sexist, violent arsehole who bought a farm for tax purposes and is pretending to care about inheritance tax on farms?!

I’m glad to see someone else say David Tennant. He’s become more and more slimy as he’s gotten older.

And yes Richard Osman gives me the creeps.

I actually can't watch Bake Off since they tried to make it a Shooting Stars spin off with the presenters being creepy and kooky all over the contestants. They make Paul look like an angel.

Agree whole heartedly re Miriam Margolyes.

I didn't have much time for Nadiya Hussein but she's kinda stepped back from public life now.

Gary Linekar. I think he was possibly more of an NT when he was still remembered more for his football that shooting his mouth off but either way, I can't stand the man now.

Jonathan Ross always hated the slimey fucker.

He's not a national treasure. He is a national embarrassment.

Betterbeingdead · 29/08/2026 19:35

Oh and Alan Davies
And all of the old top gear team stupid men doing dangerous stuff and giggling like toddlers above the law

Shufflebumnessie · 29/08/2026 19:35

Stephen Fry - having had the displeasure of meeting him, he really is the obnoxious, pontificating individual that I though he was.
David Walliams (not sure he's a "treasure" anymore though!). He & Fry both make my skin crawl.
David Tennant - sanctimonious prick!

Celebrities/NTs - I tend to turn them off before they have a chance to speak as there are very few I can stand..too many egos who have too much to say for themselves when invited on to the chat show merryground etc.

Yup. Just because he's got older doesn't mean he has got anymore acceptable

WasShocked · 29/08/2026 19:37

Paul McCartney.🫣

Maybe not so much now,(I know, I know, very talented) but I hated the period of time when it seemed every major concert had to end with McCartney!

’No it really isn’t all about you, Paul!’ 😆 ( well maybe, it is….😂)

AustenitesUnite · 29/08/2026 19:37

Morecambe & Wise but please don't tell my DGF I said this as he thought they were wonderful!

That giant man with the tombstone teeth who everyone seems to adore. I think he's creepy.
I have an irrational dislike for Lulu.

There is nothing irrational about a dislike of Lula.

Arran2024 · 29/08/2026 19:38

How have I read this entire thread and not noticed any mention of Paddy McGuiness? If I missed it, apologies.

David Attenborough. I just find he comes across as sanctimonious.

Me too. Can't even stand his voice. That's a shame because I live wildlife.

Bogstandardname · 29/08/2026 19:39

Lulu (cringe with embarrassment watching her on interviews)
Nigella (simpering and pouting snob)
Ricky Tomlinson (he makes me shudder).

the80sweregreat · 29/08/2026 19:40

Paul McCartney does sing through his nose a bit , but no denying the talent. Mull of kintyre did put me off him for life though , I loath bagpipes.

BeardySchnauzer · 29/08/2026 19:40

it’s the self importance - so you’re an actor/retired footballer/comedian? So what? It’s a job and not that important a job either. You get to do your free little travel trips with your non famous family member in the hope of giving them a career. You get given free stuff to plug on your socials. That doesn’t mean your political opinion is of any interest and it doesn’t mean you can tell a good story

LoisGriffinskitchen · 29/08/2026 19:40

ive met David Jason several times through work, an absolute gentleman and lovely to boot,

Hang your heads in shame for David Attenborough Grin

Now…my special award goes to David Tennant for being an arse about women’s rights and voices. Sit down mate. I don’t care how good an actor you are.

Stephen Fry for all the reasons mentioned.

I can’t dislike Matt Lucas as he was great to my friends niece when she was in the same show as him, let her stay rent free with her partner in a flat he owned so they could save for their own place.

Jeremy Clarkson is a raciest sexist wanker….cant stand him.
