Who do you dislike intensely? (Celebrities)

Does anyone else have a intense dislike of a celebrity or other individual for no real (valid) reason? I am sure these are lovely people but I can't stand them to the point that I actually feel disgusted and repelled by them!

Amanda Holden - I have NO idea why! Maybe her lack of emotion on her face!
James Corden - Someone who thinks he is funnier than he is, but hardly disgust worthy!
David Walliams - In fairness I'm bisexual and his faux gay/bisexual hammy behaviour makes me furious though its hardly a good reason.
Stacy Dooley - Its the accent. I don't know why as I am sure she is a really caring, kind-hearted soul.
Bing - Okay so not a real person but still I detest him. Moany, self-centred cry-baby!

So! Anyone want to confess your dislike for people for no particular (valid) reason?

I know we’ve been doing telly ones but let’s not forget

Elaine Paige
Steve Wright (especially when he says ‘shout out’ in that ridiculous voice and those made up food combinations on his Sunday show)
and of course
Jeremy Vile, sorry Vine.

Me too!! I thought I was the only one (well, my dad shares my opinion)

The numbers are growing!
Can I also add Gordon Ramsay?

I'm almost wetting myself laughing at that. He couldn't have got that more accurate if he tried!

ChrisReasBathEggs · 13/06/2022 20:42

Politicians that deliver bad news with a smug look on their face - Rishi Sunak, BJ, Gove, Patel are a few that spring to mind. Oh and Nigel Farage! Can't forget him.

Any large vampire organisation which doesn't pay tax and hoards wealth, or large companies pretending to be wealthy when they are infact broke. Not really people, but I don't like them very much.

I love Stacey Dooley though. And all those love Island people are OK - I find vacuous reality stars amusing and funny.

ChrisReasBathEggs · 13/06/2022 20:44

GinJeanie so true!

I agree with David Walliams. He is gropey and odd.

@Smileyaxolotl1
I've no Idea who Andy Cole is.

Ashley Cole may not have hit her( I thought he had) but he's still a nasty piece of work. Cheating constantly.

So many nasty football men.

Smileyaxolotl1 · 13/06/2022 21:57

sickofthisnonsense

since you clearly know nothing about football or footballers it might be an idea to refrain from commenting on them. cheating on someone is not in anyway comparable to beating them up and I suggest you ask for your slanderous and unfounded comment to be deleted.

HRTQueen · 13/06/2022 22:34

Piers Morgan he is such a spiteful person

SunflowerSmith · 13/06/2022 23:46

Brian Blessed
Danny Dyer
Andrea McLean
Victoria Derbyshire
Sherrie Hewson
Emily Thornberry
John Barrowman

Stacey Dooley - vapid
Sleazy Phil and blonde bimbo Holly

Bassetlover · 14/06/2022 01:21

Rosie Jones, not remotely funny.

HopeForTheBest · 12/06/2022 18:22

David Walliams
Olivia Coleman
Russell Brand
Philip Schofield
John Barrowman
Lin-Manuel Miranda

There's bound to be more, but those off the top of my head. Each one of them makes me want to throw things at the tv.

Lin-Manuel Miranda?? Wash your mouth out!

Kerrrmieee · 14/06/2022 03:48

Omg Stephen Mulhern absolutely! I'd go as far as to say I hate him! Just aaargh!!!

Hmmm well that's wound me up at 10 to 4 in the morning 🤣

ZekeZeke · 14/06/2022 07:21

Fiona Bruce.
She ruined Antiques Rosd Show for me.

HTH1 · 14/06/2022 07:36

Paris Hilton. There is just something so annoying about her.

HopeForTheBest · 14/06/2022 09:17

@Hadjab Yeah, Lin-Manuel Miranda. Everything he does is exactly the same and absolutely awful imo and that stupid slightly smug expression he always has makes me want to slap him round the face with a wet fish.
Realise that is not a popular opinion though - much like Olivia Coleman who almost everyone else seems to absolutely adore.

ahunf · 14/06/2022 09:31

I know there is a lot of hate on here for David Williams. I was watching how Amanda and Alicia are around him
and they seem comfortable. Especially Alicia as she sits he thinks to him. Sge didn't look uncomfortable and often while they chatted she would touch his arm etc. is he really that awful?

Glitterblue · 14/06/2022 09:35

notsureofname · 12/06/2022 18:13

Carrie Johnson. Don't know why - just dislike her face !

Yes!! I get annoyed just looking at her!

Hadjab · 14/06/2022 09:39

riesenrad · 13/06/2022 18:44

Claire Foy - overrated actress in my view but everyone else seems to love her.

Interesting that someone said Gaby Logan. I find Denise Lewis really irritating on the BBC's athletic coverage but they won't get rid of her as she's female and black so ticks two diversity boxes.

Ellie on Countryfile.

“She’s female and black”

So we’ll just ignore the fact that she’s a very successful Olympian and athlete?

ODFOD!

MsTSwift · 14/06/2022 09:40

It’s not that I dislike her but was cringing watching Cheryl Cole on who do you think you are. There was just nothing there. I can imagine the heart sink of being put next to her at a wedding - all the conversation would be on you. She’s super pretty though.

Squiff70 · 14/06/2022 11:13

I want to stick Gyles Brandreth on this list. He always pretends to know what he is talking about even though at times he doesn't have a clue.

Also, Georgia Toffolo (Toff). Her and her annoying little girls voice just winds me up. She's also a die-hard Tory supporter and can see little wrong with anything BJ and his shitshow of a government have done wrong over the last 10+ years. She looks, speaks and acts like a 6 year old.

Dreikanter · 14/06/2022 11:41

I like Gyles - his waffling and general making shit up is part of his charm.

Stacey Dooley - vapid

are you confusing her with Stacey Solomon? Stacey Dooley is the opposite of vapid. She has made some very hard-hitting documentaries.
