As we have had fictional characters

I would say
Piers Morgan.

Alan Carr - I like him but his voice just goes right through me!
Julian clary too!

The two "comedians" on Bake-off The Professionals

Lisamonwesaa · 08/07/2021 02:37

Nicola Sturgeon

Saoirse82 · 08/07/2021 03:23

Donald Trump
Boris Johnson
Vicky Pattinson
Eamonn Holmes
Piers Morgan
Chloe Ferry
Lauren Goodger
Probably in that order.

I hate that Tom Allen guy who used to host Great British Bake Off Extra Slice with Jo Brand. It was a shame because I love Jo Brand and GBBO, but he was so irritating I couldn't watch it.

But yes, Piers Morgan I hate. "Let's pick the most popular opinion and adopt it as my own and make everyone like me by ranting about it as though it's my own original thing"

P. Schofield. even worse now he does those crap adverts. and James Corden, who has no talent at all. Gino de crapio whatever his name is, he is very irritating.

Any holding-hands couple on a property show. Especially ones that want a big kitchen “because we love to cook and entertain” and then at the end of shows them 4 months later, in the house “entertaining” and “cooking” and she’s sawing away at a carrot like it’s a tree log. And especially if they stand in the kitchen and say “and I could be here and I could be watching the children play while I cook” because all children play on cue when mother goes into the kitchen to hack away at vegetables.

They always say "We believe the kitchen is the heart of the home" on those programmes.

Victoria Coren. So unbelievably smug.

I saw her on 8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown and she seemed thick as shit - so easy to seem intellectual when you're given the answers on your own quiz show.

Oh no - someone I know has been mentioned on this thread! She is lovely in real life and not annoying at all.

Let them know they need to work on their public image…

Also Jane Mcdonald, Miranda Hart, Penny Lancaster, Richard Madeley, Fiona Bruce, Peter Andre, Martin and son Roman Kemp (only because they are on so many things now). Gloria Hunniford and Carol Vordeman. These people might be very nice, but bored of them being on tv and adverts all the time. It would be so refreshing to see some new faces on tv for a change. Also make way for some new people to make a bit of money instead of throwing money at the already millionaires.

@MyfanwyMontez

Katherine Ryan is irritating beyond belief. Katherine(if I was chocolate, I’d eat myself) Jenkins. I absolutely loathe her I maybe being irrational but she seems like a very unpleasant person beneath the layers of sickly sweetness.
Frank Skinner dislikes Katherine Jenkins as well.

He calls her 'Lucifer's Representative on Earth'.
He doesn't buy the 'butter wouldn't melt' routine from her either.

@countingto10

Gregg Wallace - seriously how and why does that man have a tv career, I mean how does that happen????
My mum and I say that every time we see him on telly.

He was a bloody fruit and veg man, for crying out loud.
He's stolen a living, as have a lot of people mentioned in this thread.

Switch off itv, is my advice about most of them.

She's a clever woman, but man alive doesn't she know it.

This is going to go badly. It's not a nice concept is it?

It's been going for 16 pages, seems OK so far!

I have it on very good authority that Simon Pegg is a huge, SUPREME lord of C#nts

Say it ain't so? I love the Cornetto Trilogy.

Justin Fletcher but appreciate I'm not his target audience :)
