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.

I do love Simon Reeve! He seems so genuine and unscripted and human when he's talking to people and gets all 'bloody hell!' at things that are unbelievably crap or unbelievably beautiful.

Not as good as Liza Tarbuck stamping on the little penny farthing man, or the time she worked out the hopping clue and just ignored the stupid men who weren't listening to her and just sighed, then held on to her boobs and hopped about.

Andrew Marr - never miss his show

GingerbreadandJellytots · 17/12/2021 20:27

Stacey Dooley and Jamali Maddix. Watching them both present This is my house I just really really would love to be in their gang. They seem nice, cool and chilled all at once.

MadMadMadamMim · 17/12/2021 20:28
