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.

My fantasy dinner party is all women of a certain age. Alison, Jennifer Saunders, Dolly Parton and Miriam Margolyes.

Raymond Blanc for me. He does cute little giggles when he is cooking and he is always so happy!! And the way he says "et voila" just makes me melt a little.

I cannot fail to smile and be happy when he is on TV.

Brenda Blethyn, love her in everything she does but especially Vera and a very old film called Saving Grace. In real life she just seems lovely too😍

Yep. Didn’t forget him. Just thought he was a foregone conclusion, obviously.

I also love Stacey Solomon, and can imagine her when she's older being a really warm and kind host on a chat show or something.

Gillian Anderson. Always thought she was amazing. Tommy Flanagan. Just makes me smile seeing him in a film.

beachygirl · 17/12/2021 21:43

Dolly Parton. She's the real deal. Rags to riches, amazing talent and just genuinely kind, humble and generous.

I forgot Morgan Freeman.

Ever since he played God in Bruce Almighty, I’ve sort of hoped that’s what God would be like.

Plus his voice is SO sexy!

OnwardsAndSideways1 · 17/12/2021 21:46

I love Dolly.

And Richard Madeley (someone else said him). He's so typical of a man of my generation, I know lots of Richards. A bit naff, but sincere. I don't even fancy him!
