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?

Can I ask why?! My dad also mutters about his dislike of her but I think she’s fine on the news!

Back in the day, one of my father's friends was invited to London with his wife to a party given by impresario Cameron Mackintosh. At an Underground station apparently. Their daughter was a friend of Mr. Mackintosh hence the invite. Now my father's friend HATED Des o Connor. Just did not like him nor found him funny. So on the night who comes over but Des and they get on really well. Apparently nothing like he was on TV. We only see that side of it but if disliked anyone it would have to be Barrymore and Cilla Black. But they made something out of nothing imo but in Barrymores case it was an example of rise and fall.

Agree with David Walliams
Phillip Schofield - get him off the TV
Jamie Oliver, I don't hate him quite as much as I used to but he has to be mentioned
Stephen Fry and Sandy Toksvig - both are too smug/self satisfied
I know there must be loads more, I just can't think

As soon as I saw the post title I thought Amanda Holden! Everything she does seem to be for attention! And she gives off such big pick me vibes.

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.

Bing is not the problem. Pando is the problem (Pando and his enabler, Alma).

I don’t like celebrities who come across as smug - Meghan Markle, Holly Willoughby, Amanda Holden etc

i wonder how many irrational dislikes are inherited though. My mother could not STAND Chris Tarrant so, despite having not really known him on TV as I’m too young, I also have an irrational dislike of him.

LoveLarry · 12/06/2022 18:22

God yes Stacey Dooley. The voice

Also
Sara Cox and Zoe Ball. Pair of bampots

And that Richie Anderson - a face for radio. Current darling of the bbc judging by how often they push his minging gov

And the utterly pointless Jess Glynn

All of the above plus Keira Knightley, who I absolutely cannot stand. Just seeing her face sets my teeth on edge. So many films ruined. Thank goodness for the 90s BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice so I can blot out her god-awful pouting in the 2005 film.

Yes, definitely Emma Watson and Gary Linekar, I forgot all about him - think he almost might be worse than Phillip Schofield.

Figgygal · 12/06/2022 18:26

any reality tv nobodies such as gemma Collins or anyone from love island

whenindoubtgotothelibrary · 12/06/2022 18:27

Although I would still prefer to be stuck in a lift with Keira K than the ghastly Carrie and boorish Boris, come to think of it.

alfagirl73 · 12/06/2022 18:29

Lorraine Kelly - not allowed on my TV - if she appears, the channel is changed immediately. Cannot stand her. Asks stupid questions of guests she clearly has no clue about and hasn't bothered to even google for 5 minutes and then talks over them anyway. Her fake dumbed-down persona gives me the rage.

halfsiesonapotnoodle · 12/06/2022 18:30

Alex Jones. Her voice and manner are so harsh. The final straw was just before the Jubilee weekend when she repeatedly pronounced Buckingham Palace as Bucki-num Palace. I can take no more.

Movinghouseatlast · 12/06/2022 18:30

David Walliams is horrible in real life too. Totally up himself, not remotely interested in you unless you are famous. If he's on show then he will be friendly to Joe Public buy in his private life he looks at you like you are the shit on his shoe.
