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.

Daisy mae cooper she's just so down to earth and hilarious

Joe Lycett.

There’s something deliciously naughty about him. I would have loved to sat next to him at school and we could have giggled and been silly together. We could have stood together outside the headteacher’s office too, still sniggering.

@AdultingAvoidance

I know this is going to be controversial but

Vogue Williams

@AdultingAvoidance me too!! She would generally be the profile of celeb that would annoy me but I really like her. Something about how she has a very equal dynamic with Spencer and doesn't take any shit from him and can laugh at herself.
