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

I have a very long list.

I can't watch strictly this year because of the orange one, the bloody cook and the Irish bloke.

Oh and of course eammon Holmes and Kay Burley. Pair of twats.

Gary Barlow makes my blood boil!

I immediately thought Keira as well. For no good reason. Brian McFadden was on the telly the other day and I actually thought he was quite funny.
Carol Vorderman and Lorraine Kelly are so nice and genuine not.

Claire Sweeney - Urgh
Terri Dwyer - Urgh, urgh

All the above.
Especially Lorraine Kelly. I don't know anyone who actually likes her, not even a 'take her or leave her', just an intense dislike.

Keira Knightley for me too. It's completely irrational, as she seems a decent enough, hard-working actor - but her face (particularly her chin) bugs the everliving shite out of me.

livinlavida that's the reason my hatred of him starred too I believe and its grown since then.
Dexter there's nothing irrational about hating Kay Burley disgusting woman things she's done in interviews makes me feel sick- April Jones coverage was just a complete low even by her standards :(

I love Gary Barlow- again for no good reason.

Gareth Malone, he makes my flesh creep.

Noel Edmonds.

Except it's not irrational. He's a creepy little man and he paints his beard on his face.

And Jenson Button just can't stand him.

Katherine Jenkins, although I'm not sure that's irrational.

I like Keira Knightley

Keira Shitely emotes through her teeth. I require more of an actor to be that famous. She totally ruined pirates of the Caribbean.
Matt Dawson is an arse btw: he dumped his fiancé by text (she was a friend of a friend and was totally devastated by it).

I think the reasons for my dislikes are they seem (in my mind) to take themselves too seriously and over impressed with their limited talents. So they are:
Kelly Brook
Amanda Holden
Leslie Ash

There are loads more and I'm sure my memory will be jogged.

Agree with Matt Dawson. He comes across as a total arse and the sort who would fly into a rage if you beat him at tiddlywinks.

Peter Andre! I will be flamed for this he just comes across as smug and sly. I saw 60 minute makeover I think that's what it's called. He put his signiture hidden in the room. Wanted to throw something at the telly. No idea why, i even disliked him as a kid. Pulled his poster of my cousins door when I stayed over because I didn't want to look at him all night I think I have issues...

I don't mind Keira Knightley even if I'm unconvinced of her acting skills. She does her own thing and flies under the radar and that's quite cool.

I'm trying to be better about this tbh. After I read about Amanda Palmer's kickstarter (she raised £1 million to make her new album) and the tabloid articles about how she wanted her band to work for free (not true), I disliked her. Then I got her autobiography in a book swap with friends, and completely changed my opinion of her (and the aforementioned events).

So I'm going to try not to dislike famous people for no good reason. We'll see how long that lasts...

TinklyLittleLaugh, why Wigan in particular?

Have to say I dislike him in a more laughable way. I agree he's lived, and still does, a privileged life, and thinks he's a tough guy, but I can't help laughing as he dramatically rolls down a steep embankment in the jungle small slope on a park it's just so silly.

I actually have a hatred for Tom "Poision Dwarf" Cruise for the same reason as your Bear hate. I just can't stand him, he plays all these heroic can do anything saviours characters and I know (cause he definitely does) he thinks that's him. But he's just a plonker in heels really.

P'ah!!!'

Moln No Wigan hate from me, (lived in Wigan for years). Wigan people are good at seeing through the bullshitters though.

I agree that Peter A & Brian F are a giant pair of knobs. I saw some you tube footage when PA was with KP, he was very abusive to her, nasty nasty little man.

Geri fucking Halliwell (although my phone tried to correct it to Geriatric Halloween )

I've hated her with a fiery passion for nearly 2 decades. Her existence offends me for no discernible reason

Geri Halliwell is OK with marrying a man who left his long standing girlfriend just after she gave birth. What a knob!

Ah I see. I was wondering if Bear baiting occurred there.

I'm going to have to agree with Brian (or is it still Bryan) McFadden, with all his castigating of Kerry about being an awful mother, accusations he made whilst living as far as humanly possibly from the children he fathered with her. It seemed in his head he thought getting his mum to look after them occasionally was good fathering. Also he used to have a stupid hair cut that didn't suit his head.
