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.

Speaking of Myleen Klass, does anyone remember her comedy appearance on 'Celebrity' Mastermind?

Her specialist subject was something very difficult like season 3 of Sex and the City. She got lots right, impressive for such a broad and intellectually-challenging subject Hmm, and was ahead after the first round.

Then came the general knowledge round. She got one right. And came last.

Janet Street Porter

But I really do like Stephen Mangan. Anything he does is just funny! Love Episodes.

Many hours later, when I said "the weedy guy from creepiest" I meant "from cbeebies".

Also Sue Barker.

The80sweregreat · 20/06/2015 12:59

Reading this thread its obvious that all the major TV companies need a bit of a clearout as we're all fed up with the same old faces! Also, any comedian that has done well in the last 5 to 8 years the BBC seem to think can suddenly become DJs, on radio 2 mostly. There is either a lack of new talent around or they are all scared of trying out new presenters for shows.

27inmyhead · 20/06/2015 13:06

Felicity Kendall - she's awful, pre- and post-face lift.

FarFromAnyRoad · 20/06/2015 13:16

I won't start because I don't have enough life left to compile my list of loathing. I do find it interesting that the same names crop up over and over - do you think that's a MN thing or more general because if so why the holy hell are they still blighting our televisual delight?
Love the Kay Burley/two bullets joke at the top of the thread - that's a no-brainer if ever there was one!
I realise now that I've more or less given up on any TV with a 'personality' or regular presenter. I just can't quite quit my Judge Judy habit!

BabyMurloc · 20/06/2015 13:19

Katie Hopkins x 10000000000000000. I can live with everyone else (even kay burley although its close) if we can get rid of this vile "professional" bridge dweller

FarFromAnyRoad · 20/06/2015 13:21

The thing is with KH - you're reacting exactly as she wants you to react. In that way she's doing a superb job. If you had any other opinion of her people might look at you Hmm Hmm

It's the rest of them who really believe they're utterly marvellous and several cuts above the rest of humanity that need our attention. La Hopkins does not.

inatinyhouse · 20/06/2015 13:30

Alison Hammond. ITV's token 'large lady'. (and I say that as a large lady myself)

Annoying and irritating to listen to.

AbsolutelyKnackered · 20/06/2015 13:33

Sarah Harding on Masterchef. So irritating and OTT and can't believe she's only 33.

Housewife2010 · 20/06/2015 15:04

Kym Marsh, Jamelia, Emma Willis's voice, Claudia Winkleman for her dreadful hair, makeup and faux gaucheness. When I see her and Amanda Holden I just imagine the mountain of stained cotton wool in their bathrooms each night after chipping away at all their orange slap!

CheekyNandos · 20/06/2015 16:11

Sherree Hewson

SisterNancySinatra · 20/06/2015 16:19

Fiona Forsyth on a panel game yesterday evening, she's beginning to look like an eccentric old lady , she was so thin and far down in her seat with a massive leather jacket on over a white blouse and appearing on a comedy panel game but laughing like she's in pain . I thought " bore off ".

WhatALoadOfOldBollocks · 20/06/2015 17:21

Lowrie Turner. She has some diploma in Nutrition therapy and calls herself a nutritionist. No love, get yourself a BSc in Human Nutrition then call yourself a nutritionist. I'm not saying she knows nothing on the subject, but it is a hugely scientific one that requires more than a diploma.

Bruce Forsythe. The way he says something "funny" and waits for the positive reaction really irritates me. Similarly Cilla Black.

"Also was quite keen on Idris Elba until I saw him in interview and realised he's a twat."
Me too. I still think he's bloody gorgeous but I also think he's a bit of an arrogant twat so no longer fancy him if that makes sense. In an interview he said how he doesn't understand why he's considered attractive, yet saw an interview where he was flirting outrageously with the women in the audience. It was cringeworthy. You know you're really handsome mate and it shows.

Daisychain5 · 20/06/2015 17:36

Mylene Klass.....awful, remember on Loose Women, when she 'accidentally' let slip Simon Cowell had once asked her out.....faut embarrassment and kept trying to get back to the subject.

The woman who does the lottery at the moment, can't remember her name but she has long blonde rats tails....

Andrea McLean , the way she always says 'hellloooo, hello hello hellllooooo' , makes me want to resort to violence.

The two people who do This Morning in the summer, Rochelle someone and her husband...awful awful awful

MagicalMrsMistoffelees · 20/06/2015 20:28

Oh and Frank Sknner!! I can't explain why, it's irrational perhaps. But he annoys me sooo much!

And agree about Lowri Turner too.

CremeBrulee · 20/06/2015 20:33

Nick Knowles - odious man, why is on so many BBC prime time shows these days???
