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?

Yes to Holden, Corden, Walliams, Barrowman and Knightley.

I’ll add the incredibly annoying Gabby Logan - always remember her being surprised that an athlete would pull up in a race because of a pulled hamstring because her rufty tufty rugby playing husband would have just kept going (Denise Lewis and Michael Johnson were speechless).

Can’t abide Philip Schofield and Holly Willoughby
Ant and Dec irritate the life out of me
Amanda Holden and just about all of the above!

Kirstie Allsopp - takes smug to a whole new level

Lorraine Kelly and, even worse, Lulu.

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

It doesn't help that her face must have had a Boris stuck to it at one point.

I don't like her face either and I know exactly why - it's a feature I always take against on anyone, but won't say what because there'll just be posts along the lines of "Let's see a photo of you then so we can criticise etc".

I cheers me up though that - on the montage of faces behind the panel of HIGNFY - she's been given a Mandy Carter-style mouth.

Paddy McGuiness - the reason I don't watch Top Gear anymore.
Chris Tarrant - although he is 'Marmite' to many, I much prefer Jeremy Clarkson on WWTBAM.

Oh god Sara Cox YES!

Squiff70 · 12/06/2022 18:37

Rylan Clarke-Neal
Stephen Mulhern

Alison Hammond used to make my blood pressure skyrocket but she's slightly more tolerable these days.

Miilkywhitemoonlight · 12/06/2022 18:37

Samantha Janus / Womack because my husband thinks she's sexy and hot . She does have a sensual vibe about her though and I can understand why most men find her very attractive, plus she's everything I'm not Grin

Ambertonix · 12/06/2022 18:38

Kirsty Allsop and Tracey Anne Oberman just because of the appalling way they come across on Twitter, i know neither of them irl

Stacey Dooley yes!

Also Brian Cox, and I have absolutely no idea why, I feel like if I ever met him I'd have to apologise because it's completely irrational

Agree with Holden, Munchetty and Schofield. My others are

Brooklyn Beckham
Owen Jones
Michael Buble, how has he done so well?!
Caroline Hirons
Emma Watson
Gary Lineker
Ollie Murs

Caroline Hirons is LOVELY!!! I met her at a body shop event i think the year before covid she’s just really friendly and down to earth and seemed really genuine. She’s very active on her fb group too in a good way -helpful and so much good advice.

i see Phil and Holly on these threads so much are they really that bad ????!!! Seems nobody likes them or has a good word to say !!! They come across (esp Holly) as so nice on tv !!!

SofiaSoFar · 12/06/2022 18:40

Agree with others saying Katie Price, Alex Beresford and Stacey Dooley.

I'd add to that any reality TV person.

Every. Single. One.

Covetthee · 12/06/2022 18:40

Beyonce.. nothing original about her, another manufacturered popstar with no brain. There is a reason why doesn’t do interviews. She’s dumb as hell.

rebel wilson… her weight loss as become her personality

Adele- too fake now

wellhelloitsme · 12/06/2022 18:41

After having dealings with James Corden professionally a few times, you're not wrong.

MsTSwift · 12/06/2022 18:41

I kind of always like / prefer anyone that’s had to graft and not had a family or financial leg up like the above mentioned

Ferrarilover · 12/06/2022 18:41

Jane McDonald - far too loud
Jeremy Clarkson
Fiona Bruce - she gets everywhere

My hubby can't stand Brian Cox either! Doesn't know why but has to switch off!
