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 Smile

Oh and btw

I'm a closet Taylor swift fan!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 02/10/2015 18:36

Not a celebrity (except in his own little fan club) and many of you won't recognise him but..

Steve Allen on LBC (he does the early morning shift finishes at 6.30am)
Our alarm goes off at 6am, I have to endure him prattling on while I wake up.
Either slagging off celebrities on TV that he has an irrational dislike for, or repeating the same thing over and over.

He once repeated Micheal MacIntyre's "Cars.Juice" sketch word for word but it wasn't funny and he completely ballsed it up.

Most irritating is how he whits on about his diabetes then in the next breath about how much food he's shoved down "I ate a whole pack of M&S Pigs in Blankets" he trilled.
Good for You, you greedy twat.
Make sure you don't fall in front of the number 47 bus when you go hyper eh?

I would go to his One Man Show and heckle him but I wouldn't spend the money/

Chippednailvarnish · 02/10/2015 18:37

I hate Gemma Collins.

I don't actually know who she is, but I really can't stand her Grin

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 02/10/2015 18:39

I live near enough to Brentwood to make it my mission to avoid it.
I used to go there Pre - TOWIE

hollyisalovelyname · 02/10/2015 18:50

Compost I can't stand Sean Connery either.
It's the way he speaks.

LizzieVereker · 02/10/2015 18:58

Helen Skelton. Too bloody chirpy. Chirp off, Skelton.

Caroline Flack. Looks mucky. Stop touching people, Flack.

Allofaflumble · 02/10/2015 19:52

The twat Gallagher brothers. Chimpy Liam and tosser Noel. Can't bear 'em.

ginmakesitallok · 02/10/2015 19:55

Barbara fucking Windsor. But it's not irrational, it's personal. When I was about 8 we saw her in Jersey, and she refused to give us her autograph. I hate the woman.

The80sweregreat · 02/10/2015 20:01

70s switch to five live. They are pleasant and, unlike Chris Evans, actually soothing even when the news is really bad! Nicky campbell is my fav, he is so calm on the phone in. Am not a sport fan , but i prefer to any other radio show on the morning.
Gin, BW being horrible, thats a shame as I see her as one of the good ones. Celebs eh?

JoffreyBaratheon · 02/10/2015 20:42

Oh talking of local Alan Partridge types; Harry Gration. Local eldery newshound, very Kent Brockman. Professional Yorkshireman.

EvansOvalPiesYumYum · 02/10/2015 20:46

Carol Klein. I know she appears to be some sort of national gardening treasure, but I cannot watch the television when she's on. Gardener's World at the moment - I have to go and do something else. She is another who looks as though she needs a bloody good bath.

Irrational dislike - I don't know why, but she just annoys me.

EvansOvalPiesYumYum · 02/10/2015 20:48

Ooh yes, Gin - I've never understood the love for Barbara Windsor. She makes my hackles rise. That ridiculous cackly laugh. Grrr!

HypodeemicNerdle · 02/10/2015 23:26

Dappy
His stupid fucking name, stupid clothes and vile attitude to other people.

ComposHatComesBack · 02/10/2015 23:58

Jenni Murray ... always sounds extremely pleased with herself.

ComposHatComesBack · 03/10/2015 00:16

Oh and that wiggy twat Wogan for the same reason. Apparently it the 80s a memo was sent to BBC drivers not to open the sunroof when transporting Wogan lest the breeze dislodged his syrup.

Cliffdiver · 03/10/2015 05:31

I have a super super irrational one I am almost too scared to post, haven't RTFT but I doubt anyone else has said this one...

Katie Piper

She seems like a lovely girl, I think how she has stuck two fingers up to her attackers and all the work she has done for charity is beyond amazing, and she truly deserves happiness.

I have read her autobiographies, follow her on Twitter and watched some of her TV shows and she seems bwautiful inside and out, but there's something I just can't warm to Blush

Cliffdiver · 03/10/2015 05:31

*beautiful

PrincessMarcheline · 03/10/2015 06:17

Lorraine Kelly. Absolutely cannot stand her. Don't live in the UK so don't see her much, but she was on tele the other day. I honestly thought if she said "own it" one more time, I was going to kick the TV screen in.

Oh, and Davina McColl.

Chottie · 03/10/2015 06:24

Please, please keep posting everyone - this is my favourite thread on MN at the moment Flowers

BingoBonkers · 03/10/2015 06:33

Tess Daly!

Can't stand her. She's awful on Strictly. Plus her one dodgy eye is Creepsville.

Inlovewithflo · 03/10/2015 07:35

Lauren laverne. She just irritates the fuck out of me

Ratbagcatbag · 03/10/2015 08:01

I luffs Channing Tatum, however I hate hate hate Hugh Grant, can't watch anything with him in it. No idea why, he seems a perfectly nice chap, but just something makes my teeth itch.
Barry from the CillitBang adverts, feck off shouting.
Doc Mcstuffins - smug smug little brat, that everyone loves.

Dollymixtureyumyum · 03/10/2015 08:13

Barbara Winsor- that bingo advert and her laugh grates
Cat deely- seems like a right smug bitch
Carol Smiley- same reason
Katie Hopkins- just a complete bitch
Danny Dyer
Ainsley Harriot
The Harry Bikers
Anyone from Towie and anyone else who is famous for no reason including Paris Hilton
The whole cast of In the Night Garden and Dora the Explorer
And finish Grin

IndigoApple · 03/10/2015 08:57

Paddy Considine. Saw him this week in Miss You Already. Such a bad actor IMO, also disliked him in that In America film years ago, not sure why he's so highly regarded?
