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 I'd forgotten Kirsten Stewart. I've never seen a film she's been in but I don't like her. She looks like a right misery guts.

the shouting potato Grin

BlueJug · 28/09/2015 21:06

Sandi Toksvig. That patronising sing-song voice!
YY to Nicole Shitsinger, Chris Evans, Russell Brand

Dan Stevens appeared on a TV programme discussing new novels,one of which was my sister's.He rubbished her book in such a nasty vindictive way that her confidence has never really recovered. Hate him.

ALassUnparalleled · 28/09/2015 21:08

Much cathartic venting of spleen here.

Alex Salmond hasn't been mentioned or is he a permanent shoo-in on these lists?

Chottie · 28/09/2015 21:12

Blue Jug I can't stand Sandi Toksvig either :) that braying, laugh and I don't want to know anything else about her private life.

Chottie · 28/09/2015 21:13

YY to Russell Brand - he looks like he's been living under a rock for a month.....

PseudoBadger · 28/09/2015 21:14

Mary Berry. Hate her, but maybe not irrationally?

LHS2 · 28/09/2015 21:18

I cannot bear Ricky Gervais. Who appointed him the guru of all things animal cruelty related??! Seriously, people, stop sharing his stupid face and stupid quotes to my timeline. He is an imbecile. I don't need his inane "sound bites" to comprehend the hideousness of animal cruelty. Ggrrrrr...

Russell Brand makes me feel irrationally violent just looking at him, let alone when he opens his mouth. He used to be my No 1 irrationally hated celebrity but has slipped into No 2 spot after Ricky "I think I am St Francis of Assisi" Gervais pipped him to the top spot Grin

Lady Mary in Downton Angry AngryAngry

ALassUnparalleled · 28/09/2015 21:18

Oh yes to Sandi Toksvig. She was awful on Question Time. I wasn't really paying attention to it and suddenly there was high pitched shrieking in an almost comedy RP accent. This was Toksvig. She was so awful she made Salmond sound bearable.

girlandboy · 28/09/2015 21:19

Davina McCall - smug, too enthusiastic and breathy

Alex Jones from The One Show - Just everything about her irritates me to death. But especially the way she says "fabulous" - fabbah-lus. Oh my god, that's annoying. I can feel myself gritting my teeth just thinking about her

Nicholas Cage - Just the look of him, and his voice

Steven Seagal - that fecking ponytail

Alisvolatpropiis · 28/09/2015 21:19

LH I don't think you're being irrational at all there!

londonrach · 28/09/2015 21:20

All those in ok, hello and other cheap magazines. A friend once went through one such mag with me and i knew no one in it. Im proud of that!!! (Sadly know peppa pig etc better than an celebs and ive not be lucky enough to have children)

AndDeepBreath · 28/09/2015 21:21

.... I love how some people are like "oh yes, Cheryl whatshername" - while others are still going strong after 25 names. "Come on keyboard! We've waited for this - this is our moment!" Grin

Leelu6 · 28/09/2015 21:22

Ant & Dec
Fearne Cotton

I don't even know why!

WILKO9 · 28/09/2015 21:23

Nicola Sturgeon has the same effect on me as Jimmy Kranki or whatever he/she was called !!!!

iklboo · 28/09/2015 21:23

I could peel Keith Allen & dip him in salt like a sherbet dib-dab. He gives me teeth-grindingly violent rage thoughts.

Wadingthroughsoup · 28/09/2015 21:25

I have a very strong dislike of Phil Collins, for no discernible reason.

QueenCardi · 28/09/2015 21:25

Love this thread. Mine are...
Victoria Beckham-cant stand her poses and unsmiling face and the fact that she has become a "designer"
Any celeb who "designs" clothes
Amanda Holden-has an overinflated opinion of herself
Gwyneth Paltrow-go need her blog Goop
Alexa Chung-why is she famous?
Cheryl Cole
Eamonn Holmes and his long suffering wife
Anthea Turner
Kym Marsh
Mel Sykes
Myleene Klass
That actress from Corrie who's always pouting. Just had a baby with a footballer.
Anyone who does a Hello/OK wedding shoot or introduces their pregnancy/baby

pingoose · 28/09/2015 21:26

Kirsty of Kirsty and Phil fame. I want to punch her smug face everytime she's on the telly.

Walkthroughthefire · 28/09/2015 21:28

I love Ian McKellan and quite like Jo Brand & Jensen Button.

I agree with hating everyone else on this thread.

I cannot stand Matt Damon or Tom Hanks (am I the only one?)

Mrsjayy · 28/09/2015 21:31

Ricky gervais just looks an even bigger knob when he is spouting about animal cruelty his gurning face makes me want to kick kittens Grin . Ah Keith Allen saw hi m on a benefits programme where he and mel b went into poor families keith went on to moan about the airmiles of bannanas and then said the estate was urban and gritty fucking idiot!

TillITookAnArrowToTheKnee · 28/09/2015 21:31

I've been miserable all day but I am CRYING with laughter at this thread, thanks OP and PPs Grin

DH informs me the Jessica Ennis/porridge is true, we snorted and then added it to our list of insults.

Bryan McWanker can fuck off to the far side of fuck, you stay in 'STRALIA with your new bit on the side whilst your poor kids go through hell with their drug addled mother and her fella... CUNT. Nothing but a mouthy bastard.

Benedict Cuntysnatch... Smuggest of smug fucks to ever exist. You're actually wank at playing Sherlock, Johnny Lee Miller is FAR SUPERIOR to you. Yeah, I SAID IT. I don't like him or his films/shows whatever. Vom. Boak. Gip. Etc.

TOWIE/Geordie Shore anyone like that - all that creosote fake tan go and have a fucking shower with some wire wool, give yasen a scrub, urgh.

Angry I have a very, very long list of 'slebs I can't stand.

Redcrayons · 28/09/2015 21:33

Mary Berry! She's a sweet old lady who makes cakes. How can you not like her?
Paul Hollywood needs a smack in his smug gob though. That's not irrational.

SeekEveryEveryKnownHidingPlace · 28/09/2015 21:34

Victoria Coren. insufferable, especially when any where near her husband. Today's Unbelievable Truth was excrucuating: smug, irritating, show offy, exclusive and smart arsed.
