Who do you just adore for no reason?

As an opposite thread, which celebs do you just love, and they can do no wrong ever, and you just love their face even when they do absolutely nothing?

Watching Strictly ITT (which I do not like) and I was reminded how much I love Mel Giedroyc. There's something just so funny and likeable about her even when she isn't saying anything.

She unexpectedly popped up in a musical I saw in London pre covid and she brought me so much joy it was ridiculous.

Jo Brand just so down to earth and you feel like you could have a lovely chat with her.

I can't stand Stacey Solomon- everything about her annoys me, and the same for Joe Swash.

Alan Bennett, Sam Fender, Tim Spall

Winkleman - she is a genuine kook, not some fake kook like many others.

Two past managers I had, amazing women who lifted other women up and were amazingly supportive.

Actually I have very different but all good reasons for my adorations of these people!
