I cannot bear Bruce Forsyth. I suspect I won't be alone in this on Mumsnet, but he seems to be viewed as some kind of wonderful old trouper by the general population and by the press. I suspect he is a nasty old git.

Oh and a very Scottish one but Johnnie Beattie.

Saw him once at the theatre and he definitely had a "don't you know who I am" look/air about him.

Michael Parkinson - I detest him with a passion, the sycophantic twit. It only ever seemed to be Billy bloody Connolly and Jamie bloody Cullum on his show too.

Bruce Forsyth

Lorraine Kelly

Barbara Windsor

Cant stand Sarah Lancashire either she makes me want to throw things at the tv. Said this to mil once who told me she knows her quite well

Noel Edmonds!! Yeeees, he's the pits!

Peggoty, that's him.

Brucie is extraordinarily creepy, isn't he - especially when he's paired up with a luscious young woman in a cleavagey dress - talk about Death and the Maiden.
Michael Parkinson is ghastly in a different way. I'll never forget, during his brief and disastrous stint on Desert Island Discs (actually, that's another National Treasure item I can't bear), hearing him ask Bruce Oldfield if he thought being a fashion designer was a proper job for a man.

Cheryl Cole
Jordan
I'm sure there is more

Megglevache · 25/01/2009 20:57

Did anyone ever see that awful car crash moment when he was mocking the picture of an infant and the baby in the picture was disabled. The look on Edmond's face!

peggotty · 25/01/2009 20:58

Billy Connolly was a complete arse to my sister who worked at a theatre company years ago, demanding a certain type of mineral water and refusing to speak to anyone backstage. He was funny then though, unlike now.

Elton John. Ok, he's not a 'national treasure' but he is pop royalty and everyone and their dog fawns over him endlessly.

He makes my skin crawl.
