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 yes to Bruce Forsyth.

Go away from my screen, someone invent time travel go back to the 70s and make him go away then.

Hideous person, incredibly unfunny man

Did u guys hurt Bruce? He's in hospital!

LeftMyRidingCropInTheMortuary · 10/10/2015 14:01

I hate zooey dechanel. Mainly her voice. So fake and loves herself.

derxa · 10/10/2015 14:09

My DH loves Zooey. I on the other hand don't like her at all.

I cannot bear Jonathan Ross, everything about him sets my teeth on edge. His forced chumminess with the people he interviews, the quasi-harrassment of his female guests, the way in which he allowed everyone else to take the rap for Sachsgate. He's just grim.

lalalonglegs · 10/10/2015 14:11

Also the female celebrity who has popped up on Strictly and seems to think she is a Barbie doll - ittle bittle voice, fake waist-length peroxide hair, bats her eyelashes and simpers non-stop. She makes Tess Daly look like Kate Adie.

Frank Skinner, I have to switch the telly over, or the radio off. I don't know why I've just never been able to stand him. I just feel really strongly repelled.

I'm generally not to bad with randomly disliking people I don't know, but him, just, no.

hollyisalovelyname · 10/10/2015 18:17

LeftMyRidingCrop it's just an unfortunate coincidence Smile
I wish him a speedy recovery.

MissBattleaxe · 10/10/2015 21:38

YY re: Frank Skinner. I find him repellent. I cannot have on my TV for even a second. How on earth is he famous? He's just some annoying smart arse from down the pub.

Rod Stewart

Frizzcat · 11/10/2015 13:27

I forgot Emelia Fox too

MagentaHaze · 11/10/2015 13:49

If you slapped Amanda Holden around the face with a wet fish she wouldn't move, she's so frozen with fillers and botox - so fake and definitely no. 1 on my most annoying celebs list.

Kate Moss and Alexa Chung are just vile - but several of my female friends bizarrely have girl crushes on them??!

I know quite a few people who've worked as runners for the BBC and when I asked them who the most difficult celebrity was they've ever worked with, they unanimously said Bruce Forsyth. So full of his own importance and utterly different to his charming stage persona.

Frizzcat · 11/10/2015 14:02

charming stage persona. Are you sure? He always struck me as someone who was quite prickly.

thunderbird69 · 11/10/2015 15:23

Fiona Phillips - permanently looks hard done by
Eamonn Holmes - has a face I want to punch
Brian Cox - weak and pathetic and awful hair
Gary Linekar - just go away

derxa · 11/10/2015 15:52

Fiona Phillips - permanently looks hard done by Yes. Why is she always so weary? Random snippet. She was interviewing Brian Conley recently and he suggested that she could create a jacuzzi by farting in the bath or some such rubbish. Rather than laugh she huffily declared that she would never fart in the bath. Hmm

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 12/10/2015 08:49

Lily Allen

YESSSS, I know this horribly probably horribly sexist but I think she an absolutely vile mother. Don't have kids then fxxk off on coke and cane binges and twitter it around. just....actually quite sad and worrying

LarrytheCucumber · 12/10/2015 08:53

Brian Blessed.

Bruce Forsyth and charming stage persona are words I would never string together in a sentence Smile

Moln · 12/10/2015 12:07

He comes across as full of his own importance (and rudeness) on stage. If that can be described as charming in comparison to his actual personality he must be hideous.

regenerationfez · 12/10/2015 14:04

Brian Blessed is massively irritating! The booming voice is funny (only slightly) once, but it gets grating. And that ridiculous story about delivering a baby in the park and then biting through the umbilical cord and licking the babys face? what a weirdo!

Billie Fucking Piper. She is an absolutely shite actress and has no sex appeal whatsoever but inexplicably gets cast in sexpot roles constantly. She is without a doubt the worst thing in Penny Dreadful, which has a wonderful ensemble cast of proper actors, with her mangling both a Belfast and a posh English accent. It makes me incredulous that Reeve Carney - an American, ffs - can do a better upper class accent than she can. And we're supposed to believe that four male characters are in love with her? Fuck off. She looks like one of the Banana Splits.

La la la, lalala la, la la la, lalalaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa......

sorry if somone has already said this (I haven't read all 26 pages), but Katherine Jenkins. No rational basis for this whatsoever but she drives me mad. And it isn't a beauty thing; there are plenty of objectively more beautiful women who do not annoy me (Kate Moss, Angelina Jolie, Gisele).

fluffywol · 15/10/2015 22:41

Ghetto you've given me the best laugh I've had all day!
