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.

WhatALoad - yes, yes to Julia Bradbury and as for James Corden - my older teens won't watch "Into the Woods" (and they like Sondheim musicals) because he is in it - glad he's gone off to the USA. They also detest Miranda Hart.

Kirsty Allsop - Fuddy duddy and old before her time. Her lumbering, bovine ways are annoying.

meyesmyeyes · 21/06/2015 18:03

Amanda Lamb and her whiny, high pitched voice. Sounds odd coming out of such a large lady.

JoffreyBaratheonFirstofHisName · 21/06/2015 18:36

Oh yes second Kirsty Allsop. That time she made a cushion that looked shit about 3 seconds before The Great Yorkshire Show, yet mysteriously won the class in the crafts competition...

And I just want to repeat... James Corden.

And the tie-dyed knickers. Grin One for every day of the week - all wrapped up and presented in a granny-flowery teacup and saucer, tied with cellophane and a bow.

who ffs tie-dyes their knickers

SunnyBaudelaire · 21/06/2015 18:57

" Her lumbering, bovine ways "

lol !! miaow!

JoffreyBaratheonFirstofHisName · 21/06/2015 19:04

My husband is allergic to Gail on Coronation St. To the point he bolts out of the room if her face appears onscreen. He loathes her but can't explain why. He just erupts in incoherent rage if he tries to explain.

SunnyBaudelaire · 21/06/2015 19:11

I see his point though joffrey there is something repulsive about her....

ChrisQuean · 21/06/2015 19:41

Holly Willoughby. Beyond me finding her tooth-grindingly annoying, I absolutely don't get why anyone would employ her to do anything. She's so bland and unoriginal.

I'm laughing that Amanda Holden keeps popping up on here I sat next other in a restaurant on Thursday night and I could feel my irritation factor hacked rose. She is all hair tossing (rather amazing hair, admittedly), smile flashing fridge door white teeth and must weigh about 6.5 stone soaking wet.

thisisnow · 21/06/2015 20:08

Alexa Chung? She isn't on tv anymore but I still dislike her all the same Grin Also can't stand Rita Ora from the voice.

How could I forget about Russell Brand?! I like Russell Howard though, I imagine him to be a real softy IRL nobody burst my bubble please .

I quite like Ruth and Eammon (sp?). Amanda Holden is quite annoying, but I'm surprised so many people dislike her! She's not THAT bad.

I used to like Jo Frost (supernanny) but she's not been on for ages. Hate Gok Wan, used to like him, but the 'hey sexy girlfriend/sister/hot mama crap got irritating.

GhettoFabulous · 21/06/2015 20:43

I'm glad to see others share my hatred of Lorraine Kelly. I would cross the road to punch her lights in.

CordeliaFrost · 21/06/2015 20:46

She's an actress, so not sure if it counts, and I don't dislike her or anything BUT... I'm getting really irritated about the fact that Sheridan Smith seems to be in everything these days... sometimes it seems like she must be the only TV actress in the UK. She's a good actress, but sometimes I sit there and think, 'but she has only just been in and now she's in , give someone else a bloody job!'

I'm convinced that one day, I'll turn on the news, and she'll be presenting it.

Sparklingbrook · 21/06/2015 20:52

I don't dislike Lorraine Kelly particularly but along with Eamonn Holmes she's on my 'Why the hell are they still on the TV?' pile.

RachelRagged · 21/06/2015 21:41

Colleen Nolan

Whatdoesaduckdo · 21/06/2015 21:47

Stuart Francis is the over obvious comedian he doesn't die though

AnnoyedParent22 · 21/06/2015 22:05

Stacey Dooley, Fearne Cotton and Holly Willobooby are all pointless and annoying.

AnnoyedParent22 · 21/06/2015 22:15

Oh, and how could I forget Alexa Chung and Tess Daly.

Equally vapid and pointless.

meyesmyeyes · 21/06/2015 22:17

I get the feeling that Gok Wan secretly dislikes women and gets a kick out of turning us into laughing stocks with his rubbish fashion advice.

But I'm more disappointed that women fall for it.

mistymeanour · 21/06/2015 22:28

myeyes I agree. Gok Wan does not like women - remember him blasting the naked "natural beauty" women in an empty swimming pool with a fireman's hose and laughing like a drain. He always does the same thing - neck scarf, control corsets, belts at the waist and ridiculous high heels like some hideous interpretation of a blow up doll. He's twisting our melons man.

SunnyBaudelaire · 21/06/2015 22:37

ooh I love Stacey Dooley, she is not pointless and annoying at all!!
If it was not for her, there is all kinds of shit I would know nothing of.
