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?

No you're missing the point: this was a TV programme. A TV programme with Gordon Ramsay in it. Viewers want to see Gordon Ramsay (or the TV character he's created, at any rate) so he was being Gordon Ramsay.

This isn't a debate alot of people complained about him, he dosent need to act like that and the Savoy did themselves no favours by airing him.

I repeat money does not but class.
Neither him nor Adele do themselves any favours by using foul language all the time
Do they do that in front of their families and kids??

Georgia toffolo and her ridiculous affected speaking voice !

I’m glad it’s not just me that finds her completely unfunny.

She's as funny as a fire in an orphanage-if it were not for her ticking boxes she would be doing gigs in basements in Falkirk.

Katie Hopkins - Vile
Vicky Pattison - Bully
Lauren Goodger - Ugh

All of the Tory cabinet - Odious

Caplin · 19/06/2022 22:28

Tom Cruise, Vin Diesel and all of the Tory front bench. There are others, but those are the ones I cannot watch

leonardo dicaprio is also an arse (met him).

meanwhile the Clooney’s are delightful in real life so take that back!!

SurfBox · 20/06/2022 11:09

leonardo dicaprio is also an arse

can you explain why?

Also I don't get all the people here saying Katie Hopkins, she is supposed to be hated, that's her job. It's like asking people foods they love and people saying sugar-it's there to be liked genuinely so an obvious answer and I know nobody who hates chocolate.

MarieIVanArkleStinks · 20/06/2022 11:19

Agree that people like Katie Hopkins, Piers Morgan and Jeremy Clarkson exist to be hated. There would simply be no interest in them if they didn't keep involving themselves in controversies, or social media spats. Clarkson is a thug who only lost his standing with 'Top Gear' once a physical altercation left his position untenable, Morgan, well: Iraq soliders and Millie Dowler are all it's necessary to say without even referring to his more recent persecution of a particular woman, and as for Hopkins, her behaviour's pretty much on a par with both the above, but she's the only one of the three of them who's been 'cancelled' and has since disappeared into oblivion. Three guesses as to why.

MarieIVanArkleStinks · 20/06/2022 11:45

An 'annoying' accent or people's little foibles and quirks of personality - provided they don't manifest at other people's expense - rarely irritate me. I have the choice not to watch/listen and can easily tune out that kind of thing.

Actual nasty, unpleasant or diva'ish behaviour is another matter entirely and I came here purposely to see if anyone had mentioned Cilla Black. Was surprised to see her name only appear a couple of times, but her reputation really did precede her for her appalling treatment of others. Never did one person's name appear so frequently on the 'badly behaved celebrities' cabin crew forum, or between local work forces who did work on her home, and she's on record saying truly nasty, disparaging things about others, particularly women. Her alleged friends, Dale Winton and Paul O'Grady, had similar questionable reputations for 'do you know who I am?' attitudes.

Barbara Windsor is another who, when her mask slipped, came over as a nasty piece of work despite her loveable cockney image. You can tell something about a person by the company they keep, and outside the stage and screen 'gangster's moll' really isn't a good look.

prettyteapotsplease · 21/06/2022 09:12

I think you're being very unfair to Jeremy Clarkson - I quite like him and if he ever hands over the one million pounds which should rightfully be mine I'd like him even more.

I didn't know jeremy clarkson was in this list. obvs the other 2 yes.What frustrates me about Piers Morgan is he fails to develop questions in his interviews.So for example he had kym cattrall on and she started slagging off SJP, she said ''Sarah could have being nicer'' and the obvious bloody question is ''what do you mean-give an example'' and he doesn't ask it.

Annoying as she was willing to talk about it and addressing the huge elephant that has being in the room for years and he's sitting on the chance to finally get some information and he doesn't do it. Terrible journalism.

Carl Kirkwood, hopeless, vacant and very irritating

Phillip Schofield, so creepy and not brave coming out at all... the rumours about what he was doing with 18 year old runner Matthew McGreevy makes you think what was going to come out if he didn't?

pilates · 23/06/2022 20:18

Amanda Holden
Kerry Katona
Robbie Williams and his annoying wife
Geri Horner
Angela Rayner
Katie Price
Keith Lemon
Philip Schofield

And, the big one for me, Mike 'hold out your hand' Brewer 😡

Kay Burley. Revolting woman and thick as two short planks. God knows how she's in that job.

TarasHarp55 · 23/06/2022 21:27

Fizz out of Coronation St. Her acting is atrocious. Only has about 2 facial expressions. I have to switch over as soon as I see her. Irritating as hell.

Soaps generally are though, acting can be very dodgy. Not all;I see some brilliant acting in soaps bit when it's bad it's bad.

Mrschristmasqueen · 23/06/2022 22:09

Yes!!! She is horrendous. I cant bear to watch her.

fghj149 · 23/06/2022 22:30

Gino d’Acampo for the simple reason he literally used to rob people but he’s now a rich celebrity.

Yes Schofield very unlikeable. Stopped watching GMB as Susannah Reid pissing me off recently as well with the endless Boris hating tirade. So boring

SisterRuth · 23/06/2022 23:55

Giles Coren: talent-free bore.
Tess Daly: stick a wardrobe on the telly, it'd be less wooden.
Owen Jones: prissy, deeply stupid misogynist.
Stewart Grainger (one for the grandparents, this one): mahogany emetic in human form, cringe-factor off the scale.

Scrumbleton · 24/06/2022 00:19

Mark Rylance and his stupid hats - so depressing
brian Cox the actor not the prof - creeps me out
Phil Schofield - false

CounsellorTroi · 24/06/2022 08:59

Other way around for me. I like Brian the actor, Brian the prof gives me the ick.

APJ1 · 30/06/2022 19:44

Melanie Sykes. I really don't know why! Thankfully she's hardly on TV these days.

CounsellorTroi · 30/06/2022 20:04

I’ve taken a dislike to Bridget Christie after seeing her on Taskmaster.
