Lighthearted-Do you have an irrational hatred/dislike of a celebrity too?

[Wishful80smontage]

Its completely rational but I really dislike Brian McFadden a ridiculous amount- no apparent reason other than things I've read. To a lesser extent I also really dislike olly murs because if an article I read about him years ago...do you do the same- hold personal grudges against people you've never actually met

Monty Don and Andie McDowell.

Tom Cruise. I loathe his beetle brows and earnestness.

Miranda. Same reason.

Cliff Richard. Creeps the shit out of me.

Oh the worst for me at the moment is Anthea Turner. I loved her long period in TV wilderness - wtf is she now on that lottery ad?

My husband actually feels sick if Gail from Corrie is onscreen. To the point he's pretty well allergic to the sight of her. I feel the same way about Kylie with her hideous hair and chavvy face.

*Errata Kylie on Corrie not Real Kylie who I don't mind at all.

Oh heck yes. Someone else I loathe on TV but I know her IRL and knew her pre TV career and she's OK (if not exactly wonderful) IRL. But on TV - I switch it over if she comes on. And for a certain kind of show she seems the go-to person. Which is odd as she comes over as a bit of a dick. Can't say who she is or it could out me, and I do quite like her as herself just not on TV.

Joffrey are we married to the same man?! My DH is the same, he calls her ET in a poloneck

Abby Clancy gets on my nerves a bit, I'm sure she's sweet in RL, but on the telly she annoys me, I've no idea what she's done but marry a footballer.

Also Lorraine 'Luckybreak' Kelly. I couldn't believe it when she'd reached 30 or whatever years on breakfast telly, it was wall to wall items about her for over a week day in day out. A 10 minute segment about her on primetime morning TV every morning. She obviously has something on someone higher up because she is really not that talented. There was a hilarious sketch once of Ronnie Ancona doing her.

Whilst I'm on presenters ... that JLS singer and his wife, he comes across as thick as god knows what, she is inane. Why do they employ people with no personalities? You can't manufacture it. It's either there or it isn't, and they don't have it.

Lorraine 'Luckybreak' Kelly I'm just watching her show now
It features a lot of interesting people who have survived various terrible things. She talks over them, pretends she understands how they feel ugh!
She also had that awful Heaton woman on (again) beside someone who is recovering from breast cancer. No Michelle you are not a survivor.

Stephen Fry. So glad to see I ain't the only one who loathes this 'national treasure'. He's just an oer-privileged, posh bloke who ilked his advantages in life - that doesn't mean he's intelligent. He says obvious things I assumed my cat knew and people at like he's Einstein. He's not. He's just a luvvie who was lucky enough to do Cambridge Footlights or whatever.

I would add my biggest hate figure of all but there is nothing irrational about hating James Corden. I want him off telly. Now.

Oh and the Jack Whitehall - again, silver spoon, no real talent. That current ad where he's fangirling rugby buggers is just cringemaking.

*milked, not ilked. Bloody Stephen Fry probably doesn't do typos. He has a golden laptop built for him personally by Bill Gates, no doubt. Not an old shitty one with kids' toast crumbs under the keys that the dog's sat on.

Ed Sheeran
Jack Whitehall
Jimmy Carr
Claire Sweeney
Holly Willoughby
Cheryl Fernandez Versini
Nick Grimshaw (since way before X-Factor)
Judi Dench

Oh god and Stephen Fry.
David Walliams

I can no longer watch Simon Cowell. About ten years ago, X Factor etc was new and watchable, but now it's just a big I-Love-ME vehicle for "Si" so he can enjoy the "I can make you or break you" vibe. It's tired. He's too smug. He's got enough money. Time to go. I cannot watch for even a minute.

athleticangel- very poor form, not really the done thing.

Jimmy Carr and his fake laugh. I've long had a theory that if everyone who gives him a job writes it into his contract that he loses say 10% of his pay cheque every time he laughs - he'd soon stop that fake look-at-me-mummy braying.

I was once quite rude abo it Brian Cox on a similar thread, he creeps me out big time (I'm sure he's really lovely in real life) but that inane grin and the dead eyes

I was roundly flamed and it turned out his wife was on the thread. She remained dignified and completely ignored my existence

Brian, but how do you know? I could say I was Brian Cox's wife. I could say a dignified little piece about how it's not easy being married to Gareth Malone. I could say that I am Mrs Corden, and that James is terribly, terribly nice.

None of these would be true because I am in fact Stephen Fry.

I am Sparticus

Because she was well known from Twitter and has several MNer chums, so it was genuine. She also seemed thoroughly lovely too.

I won't "out" her as it was all pre-nobheadjeffrey.

I don't mind James Cordon, although I can see why others are not that keen. He was good in Gavin and Stacey and last years series where he became an amateur spy with the man out of Horrible Histories. I had a dream the other week that James and I were swimming in his pool together, he was really nice, but the pool became empty and vandalised and his wife gave me a cup of tea. weird ( never met him in RL and probably never will!)

I had a list up thread and was horrible about Carol Volderman - felt a bit guilty as , again, never met her! ( she had been on the TV and just comes across as so full of herself) it must be horrible being famous and having people just dislike you all the time. price of fame I guess.

Adele - I can't stand her or that " Someone Like You" song.

^I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over^

To which the only response is " hello I'm your ex's new wife- you heard right he has tsettled down , his dreams came true.
and I do give him things you didn't -(like being sane.) And the next time you turn up here out of the blue , univited, bellowing like a hormonal gnu we are calling the police"

Not many song lyrics stand up to rigorous investigation.

David Walliams. Pretend gay man. Whoever told the wooden twat he can act?

Oh and Gordon Ramsay. Nasty, bullying, arrogant, celebrity- arse- kissing wanker!

I'm sure there are more...

ALass I love Adele and have just had the album on whilst cleaning the kitchen...every time I hear that lyric I think "what a bloody stalker!"

Only thing I can say is we've all been young, dumped and slightly unhinged. Thankfully we've not all written an album about it
