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.

Wasn't she mean to Bill Oddie Muriel?

AliceHoney · 21/06/2015 09:25

Matt Baker. Squeaky clean, too good to be true. He's nauseating.
Alex Jones. Wooden, vacuous, not one iota of charisma or presenting ability.

Sparklingbrook · 21/06/2015 09:28

I think whoever presents it The One Show is unwatchable. Random skipping from one subject to another. Rubbish interviews with bewildered guests who haveto sit through the drivel. Cringe.

MurielWoods · 21/06/2015 09:28

Didn't see that sparkling

How can anyone be mean to Bill Odie? What did she do?

YouPooPooBumBum · 21/06/2015 09:29

So much hate for Amanda Holden on here and everywhere she will probably read this and have a whinge on her Twitter account or whatever about us Hmm

Holly willoughby
Caroline flack
Nicole shitsinger
Nick from DIY SOS
Ross from LA on lorraine
Gino d'campo

Muriel, I always felt on Countryfile that Bill really irritated her. He probably was annoying but sometimes she looked like she wanted to tell him to STFU.

pictish · 21/06/2015 09:38

I don't mind Amanda Holden. I can't see what it is about her that makes her so unpopular. She seems all right - I mean yeah, she cheated on Les Dennis all those years ago, but I'm over that now.

Sparklingbrook · 21/06/2015 09:40

She's so unlikable and fake. Twitter shots of her bare bum fgs. I did love the dressing her daughter as Pretty Woman debacle. Grin

AlbrechtDurer · 21/06/2015 09:41

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Julia Bradbury yet. Deeply irritating woman.

MESSING2 · 21/06/2015 09:47

Anna Friel - comes across as completely up herself in interviews.

Andrew Neil - face for radio, mistakenly thinks he's hilarious on that thing with Diane Abbott and Portillo.

Greg Wallace - really no explanation needed.

The one that plays Sonia in Eastenders - see Anna Friel.

I'm sure there are plenty more...

In my eagerness to name the people I loathe I forgot to say that I adore Hugh Dennis. Love him most in Outnumbered, he's wasted on Mock the Week.

PunkrockerGirl · 21/06/2015 09:54

Gosh yes, the one that plays Sonia in Eastenders. Just grim and couldn't act her way out of a paper bag

turningvioletviolet · 21/06/2015 10:00

Nicky Campbell, especially when he's being all Sad on that terrible voyeuristic Long Lost Families thing. Obvs DM on the same programme. And while I'm at it, of course they've found your relation, neither NC or DM would be on your doorstep if there was no trace.

Also DVO. She divorced the very sweet Joseph chappy. So that's reason enough even without her terrible grating me me me personality.

YY violet. Poor Lee Mead. But at least he can now meet someone else his own age.

ClaudiaNaughton · 21/06/2015 10:04

Practically all of the above.Grin

Special mention to Shami Chakrabarti and Kate Adie

Sansarya · 21/06/2015 10:05

Kirsty bloody Allsopp, for whom the term "check your privilege" might've been invented!

ssd · 21/06/2015 10:08

Lorraine bloody Kelly

yes, really really

bloody fake twee wee wimmin act, load of bollocks

turningvioletviolet · 21/06/2015 10:08

sparkling I know right? He was always too nice for her. of course I have in depth knowledge of the ins and outs of their relationship

MamaLazarou · 21/06/2015 10:08

Holly Willoughby. She just gives me the creeps. Ugh. Her horrible voice and simpering face. Can't stand the woman.

Dowser · 21/06/2015 10:39

Cor! I've arrived late to the party but in true MN spirit this is done with tongue firmly in cheek and wouldn't wish anything dreadful to happen to those I'm about to mention

So along with quite a few you've already mentioned , the ones I have to give a special mention to are

Babs Windsor...yes I know you look good for your age Babsie dear but you are no longer twenty and your voice grates ...so move along the bus.
Stephen Fry.....can't stand his smugness and he is not my national treasure...
Gino d'campo...I try and try to really like you....but something holds me back ...so when you are on I switch off.

Richard and judy....there's something morbidly fascinating about this pair. I want to switch off but I'm like a rabbit caught in the headlamps thinking ' did he really say that? Bet he's going to get it in the neck when he gets home.
Same with Eamon and Ruth...probably comes from my relate days....you have the whole marriage in front of you.

Ant and Dec ...get a special mention. I neither like or dislike although I do find them a bit more watchable on I'm a celebrity. My feeling is that they have come really far on very little talent .....and as I often say ...you can go into any bar in geordieland and find loads of lads with a bit of banter, just like them.

Sarah Millican, Cilla Black, Emma willis....the grating accents/ tv voices. We know for a fact none of you speak like that in RL luvs!

Keith Lemon....although oddly enough I find him quite funny on through the keyhole as he's taking the rise out of a celebrity's house and possessions as opposed to his own show where he just gets obnoxious.

Oh has chipped in with the fellow that does the voice over for big brother. Again he hates the put on/ over emphasised Geordie accent...ie fake

I could go on ...Miranda Hart...is she funny? Andrea McClean....Densie Welch...yes really ! Carol ( omg what have you done to your hair!) Vorderman...has she done her round the world solo flying trip yet?

Anyway...I'm going to go and do some much needed gardening while it's not raining!

"I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Julia Bradbury yet"
Oh, I'd forgotten about her! I was meh about her until she was on Come Dine With Me and showed a horrible attitude to people who didn't want to get drunk she was a right party animal. Called the non-drinker "boring" even though she was happily getting involved. I'm not tea total by any means, but I thought she was an arsehole for that.

"Bill Turnbull"
I just get irritated when news presenters do any sort of "showing a bit of personality" act as invariably they get a bit too big for their boots. Bill, I don't want to watch you having a laugh with your co-presenter, it's not about you, STFU and get on with it.
