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?

Hugh Grant- I have no idea why.
Phil and Holly- have to switch over if they appear, which is a lot!
Ricky Gervais- just isn't funny.
Stacey Dooley.

@MrsTerryPratchett moist? That is bonkers and I love it and I'm stealing it to justify my irrational dislike

lollipoprainbow · 12/06/2022 19:01

Holly Willoughby so smug, Lives in a perfect bubble, never seems to be touched by anything awful. I know someone just like her in real life and find her equally irritating !!

lollipoprainbow · 12/06/2022 19:02

Stacey Solomon and her thicko boyfriend. Ghastly pair.

What's wrong with Deborah Meaden? She's really sensible and a huge environmentalist. I really admire her.

Jellykat · 12/06/2022 19:04

Tess Daley - cheesy and smug as
Michael McIntyre - Screechy not funny
Miranda Hart - a combination of the above
and of course Priti Patel - not only a fuckwit, but always smirking, as if whoever else is speaking is inferior!

MrsTerryPratchett · 12/06/2022 19:06

Use away @MissingGrandstand 😓

Erictheavocado · 12/06/2022 19:07

Debbie 'could I be any more patronising' McGee and Dianne Abbott are the ones I have to 'mute' or switch channels when they are on TV or the radio.

ImJustNotMeAnymore · 12/06/2022 19:10

Takes a lot for me to dislike anyone but the god awful Radford family! Their whole enterprise has been built on abuse/grooming which, apparently, is fine because they stayed together and carried on breeding. Claim no benefits yet have spent a bloody fortune on foreign holidays and major household purchases all supposedly paid for by their magic pie shop? Fucking scammers that irritate.

kierenthecommunity · 12/06/2022 19:11

I also could stand the late Cilla Black. And I doubt im alone on that, so I can only guess her massive exposure on TV was down to knowing where all the bodies were buried. I saw her interviewed as a young woman and, yes, she had a o accent but not as put on as the one she used in the 80s with all that ‘Clur the hur dresser’ bollocks

Whoever told her she could sing in the 60s needed heating aids

Plus I knew someone who had a very junior position at LWT who worked with her and said she was an absolute CUNextTuesday. And the only thing she had going for her, was her husband was even worse and he didn’t even work there.

ChestyLaRue21 · 12/06/2022 19:11

Conor McGregor
Ronan Keating

Lipsandlashes · 12/06/2022 19:11

I forgot Vernon Kay
sadly, I’m sure there are hundreds more I’ve forgotten

kierenthecommunity · 12/06/2022 19:11

A Liverpool accent. Not sure what happened there…

Datsandcogs · 12/06/2022 19:13

David Walliams is a creep
miriam Margolyes
Kevin Clifton
Joanna Lumley (or Lovely as she is in my head), urgh, her voice, too soft and false!

I also detest the new ‘soundbite’ clips of celebrities and random members of the public giving opinions on things. The celebrities publicly thanking the Queen for the Jubilee, ugh.

Onlyhuman123 · 12/06/2022 19:13

Alex Scott. She's on bloody everything atm. Yuk, so fake.

Princessoftheuniverse · 12/06/2022 19:14

Gloria Hunniford
Angela Rippon
Fern Britton and many who have already been listed.

Mountainpika · 12/06/2022 19:15

Richard Osman
Claire Balding
Naga Munchetty
Anne Robinson - but that's not for no reason. She's awful. Thank goodness she's ;leaving Countdown. Makes everything about Her. If a man made the sort of comments to a woman that she makes to men, he'd be out on his ear at once.

Many of the people mentioned, I've never heard of.

RepublicOfNarnia · 12/06/2022 19:18

Tracey ann obermann and Rachel Riley.

Probably the worst people to ever grace our screens.

Ambertonix · 12/06/2022 19:25

@RepublicOfNarnia Oh, God, how did i forget Rachel Riley? She is top of the list!

TrashyPanda · 12/06/2022 19:27

GiveMyHeadPeaceffs · 12/06/2022 18:56

Absolutely agree and can I add her lookey likey Keeley Hawes? I can't watch anything with either of them in it.

Can’t stand Kelley Hawes either. She always looks so miserable
And her hubby, Matthew McFadden for same reason.
t
Philip Schofield - something very creepy about him.

Jared Leto - totally up his arse. Thinks he is Gods Gift.

derek Thomson (Charlie on Casualty). The man cannot act! He gives wooden a whole new meaning.

Katie Price - who continually breaks the law and continually gets away with it. Is bankrupt, but continually goes on holiday abroad and gets yet more plastic surgery. Meanwhile her creditors get nothing.
luckily, her kids live with their fathers.
