There are a few who just really grate, including two off Loose Women, Andrea McClean, the way she say,s okayyyy when responding to someone's opinion. Sherrie Hewson is another, one minute acting all daft and dizzy then when talking about something close to her heart talking eloquently and intelligently. Lots of people in soaps are annoying too.

Stacey Dooley is v annoying on The Wright Stuff.

portlyinpurple · 21/06/2015 22:48

Kirsty Young - intensely irritating on both TV and radio. Easy enough to choose not to watch Crimewatch on BBC1 but I have to lunge for the off switch every Friday morning at half eight when the trail for Desert Island Discs comes on on the Today programme. Loathe the artificially low tone she affects, sounds so insincere. Always makes me wonder just how many elocution lessons she had as an ambitious 20 something in Glasgow.

SunnyBaudelaire · 21/06/2015 22:51

oh I havent seen her in that sparking - just in her own shows

Sparklingbrook · 21/06/2015 22:53

TBF Sunny every panellist on TWS is vv annoying. They seem to have had a memo to talk as much and as fast as they can.

Phillip Schofield. He is human beige.

Dieu · 22/06/2015 00:51

James Corden. I have such a strong, irrational dislike for him.

JoffreyBaratheonFirstofHisName · 22/06/2015 14:59

"James Corden. I have such a strong, irrational dislike for him."

No, it's not irrational. It's very rational.

vienna1981 · 23/06/2015 02:36

Russell Howard. Facetious beyond belief.

vienna1981 · 26/06/2015 20:36

Showing my age but the simpering set of knobs that were on That's Life.
All of them. The programme wasn't the problem, just the presenters.

MyCarHasBrokenDownAgain · 26/06/2015 21:13

Dr Christian Jessen ... I'd love to give a definitive reason why, but I can't. I just want to punch him every time his smug face is on TV tho [embarrassed].

Janeymoo50 · 26/06/2015 21:26

Lorraine Kelly, Richard Madeley, Fiona Phillips and most of all.......even typing the name makes me annoyed, Gregg "never cooked in his life" Wallace. Oh, and I'll not start on radio presenters because Elaine Paige on R2 with that laugh makes me book. ** pours more Friday night vino to calm ones nerves.

RVPisnomore · 26/06/2015 21:30

Amanda Holden
Carol Vorderman
Nick Grimshaw

Repeat, repeat, repeat.......

mrstweefromtweesville · 26/06/2015 21:32

Fiona Bruce. I want to punch her smug face into the middle of next week. I wouldn't do anything like that, of course, because that would be violent. And illegal.

Bodicea · 26/06/2015 21:33

Rachel riley - have you seen what she is wearing on 8 out of 10 cats does countdown right now. Yes I get it she is both gorgeous and clever. Good for her - doesn't mean she has to dress like she is out for a night on the town when everyone else is in quite normal clothes. She has become a bit of a walking cliche, paroxysm of herself, and for what it is worth seems extremely dull.

Bodicea · 26/06/2015 21:34

Sorry parody not paroxysm

Bodicea · 26/06/2015 21:36

Vienna _ Russell Howard - yes - the smirky expression on his face after he has told a joke just makes me want to smack him x

hollyisalovelyname · 26/06/2015 21:43

Ant and Dec
That Lemon fellow. I forget his name.
Russell Brand

hollyisalovelyname · 26/06/2015 21:45

Portlyinpurple I just think it's sad Kirsty Young has messed with her face. I thought she wouldn't but she's no Kirsty Wark Smile

hollyisalovelyname · 26/06/2015 21:48

Cordelia - my thoughts exactly re Sheridan Smith.
She seems to be on everything.
Are there no other actresses in her age group in the U.K.?
She doesn't annoy me though.

mytitiferssungtheirsong · 26/06/2015 21:50

Joffrey 'human beige' Grin

Actually came back on here to ask what Amanda holden is actually famous for? Apart from bgt. Was she a game show host assistant?

But while I'm here. ...how could I forget Russell Brand? He makes my skin crawl.

Heyho111 · 26/06/2015 21:51

Nadia Salwaha (something like that) really really annoying !!!
Amanda Holden, and the woman on homes under the hammer. Shouts and talks like she's talking to 5yr olds.

NoArmaniNoPunani · 26/06/2015 22:11

Adrian Chiles. I can't believe no one has mentioned him yet. Irritating twat. There's no way a woman of equivalent looks would be a successful presenter.

zalana · 26/06/2015 22:25

Amanda Holden
Fiona Bruce
Lorraine Kelly
Tess Daly
Greg Wallace
Loose women

gerbiltamer · 27/06/2015 09:30

Nick Knowles closely resembles the Peter Gabriel plasticine model in the 'Sledgehammer' video.

His voice cadence also reminds me of a horrible boss I worked with last year Angry
