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've got no reason to dislike Toyah Wilcox, I've never met her, I've never heard a bad word said about her and I'm sure she's an all round lovely person. But no, I can't bear her, have to switch tv off if she appears.

Katie Price - vacuous old slagbag
Amanda Holden - trout-faced egomaniac
David Walliams - camp, loud and affected

Adil on GMB - it's his silly fake laugh.

All of the recent tv presenters / actors all of a sudden presenting tv quiz shows!!

And that smug guy - Dan Walker -? Who's just decamped from bbc to C5 for a ridiculous amount of money. Which he'd better hang on to if they're paying him for viewing figures.

Lorraine Kelly. Giggling Twonk
Suzanna Reid.mug holding prop, glasses half way down her nose, acting face depending on who and what the topic is, usually it's the acting pitiful frowning face .
Alexander big ears Armstrong.
Bradley Walsh and his annoying son.
No likey Paddy McGuiness.

As I’ve got older I dislike to watch basically any famous person, normally from reality tv, who basks in their stupidity. I only know of about two people from Love Island and that’s enough for me!

When so many names crop up time and time again in these lists, you have to wonder how some of these people keep getting work.

Delighted to see the Piers Morgan. He is an arrogant, odious thundercunt. I have twice been in a pub at the same time as him and he is loud, arrogant and utterly obnoxious.

Absolute waste of oxygen.

Philip Schofield
Jamie Oliver
Boris Johnson
Lulu
Katy Price
Priti Fucking Patel. Evil bitch.

God, i hate Lulu too. Especially during the take that era. She recently came out as an alcoholic, which i give her respect for, but she's still an annoying cow.

Fiona Bruce.

I agree with most of the hated tv celebs on this thread, apart from Toyah Wilcox. How can you hate Toyah @newnamethanks i'd love to go round her house and meet her bunnies! 🐇

I think my most hated atm is David Beckham and his stupid squinty eyes and skanky tats. His personality, as vapid as it is, is a complete work of fiction. He's not the man he portrays he is, I've never liked him but now that we've seen the mask slip a few times we can see that he's not this perfect family man and role model that we should all be admiring and looking up to.

He can keep it; i wouldn't want to be him, be with him, or be part of his awful family.

Fiona Bruce.

Yes! She's like the female equivalent of michael buerk. I wish they'd get her off the tv, she'd be quite happy if you put her in a room on her own with a mirror and a microphone so she can look at and listen to herself all day long.

ChequerToRed · 08/10/2026 17:14

Tom Cruise, because obviously.
Katie Price, another obvious.
Pedro Pascal, his performative ‘Aren’t I a nice guy?’ act gives me the hives.
Tom Ford, just comes across as an arse.
Anna Wintour, I’m not taking fashion advice from anyone who always wears the same style of shoes.
The entire Kardashian clan. How are they still famous? Does Kris know where a hell of a lot of bodies are buried thanks to her ex?

Lorraine Kelly. How does she still have her own show? Beggars belief

Claudia Winkleman, can't watch strictly because of her (love Ant and Dec though😜)

I did enjoy how pissed off Claudia would get when the contestants would vote off a brown person first on The Traitors all the time!

Greenmouldycheese · 08/10/2026 20:48

I dont really dislike anyone. I dint like tv so I suppose if I dont like any of the usual people who are always on there like the Loose Women, This Morning, Im a Celebrity bunch. Non-specific reasons. I just dont like that they remind me on TV.

Is that you Brooklyn?

Irony is that brooklyn is is the product of his parents, he's so unselfaware he doesn't realise he's just like them.

I can’t stand him either. He stands there thinking he’s so important yet rarely gets given a partner to dance with in a series and is just part of the ‘dance troupe’ most years.

David Beckham can play with his balls in my garden.

What do you think Neil should be doing, other than standing there?

Who’s Bing? I assume you don’t mean Crosby.
