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?

Alex Beresford (especially post Piers Morgan's departure from GMB)
Philip Schofield
Boris Johnson
Keir Starmer
Ant and Dec (never used to, but I'm just so bored with them now)
David Williams
Michael Gove
Jeremy Hunt - so smarmy. And I think I'd have to count my fingers were all there in the unlikely event we ever shook hands.
(think I'd better stop now...)

I agree with quite a few of these and am
going to throw Carol Vorderman into the mix. She’s so up her own bum it’s nauseating.

DorothyZbornakIsAQueen · 12/06/2022 21:43

Tom hiddleston - creepy Big Adam appled cringe merchant.

James cordon ofc

Tom cruise creepy little freak

Nish kumar

Sarah passed

Gary fucking boring bastard Barlow

Amanda holden ofc

Duncan and Lee from Blue. Look like cry wankers.

Keith lemon - absolute Cockend. Leigh Francis is too. Any character he does. Absolute wank

Smarmy Phil and Holly

Many more......

I have an immensely long list of "reach for the remote" so-called celebrities. It includes:

Danny Dyer: I only have to hear him say "The Waw" in that irritating way and I want to lob a brick at the tv, he's not funny, he's a crap presenter and his acting's even worse

Paddy McGuinness

Nick Knowles

Gregg Wallace

Amanda Holden

Philip Schofield

Rylan Two-Names

Dan Walker (raises smugness to hitherto unimaginable levels)

Almost anyone who's ever presented The One Show

Ditto Loose Women

Andrew Neill

Phil Tufnell (incredibly irritating voice)

David Walliams

Matt Lucas

Tess Daly (although we did get some mileage out of convincing DNiece that she was Tom Daley's sister)

James Corden

Whoever told James Corden he's funny

Simon Wooden-Face Cowell

and many, many more.

I realise that this makes me sound like an utter misanthrope, but there are lots and lots of people I really like as well.

I currently have a bit of a crush on Clive Myrie .... {sigh}

Ewan MacGregor.
Cannot. Stand. Him.

Likewise James Macavoy.

And I say this as a Scot.
Can't watch anything with either of them in it. Cannot explain my irrational hatred. Am a huge Stephen King fan and cannot bring myself to watch the Doctor Sleep adaptation because Ewan MacGregor's face will make me want to throw the telly out of the window and bleach my eyeballs.

Tom Cruise causes similar feelings in my soul.

JaceLancs · 12/06/2022 23:18

Has anyone mentioned Giles Coren!

2ndMrsdeWinter · 12/06/2022 23:20

Jamie Oliver. His mouth annoys me.

PurpleButterflyWings · 12/06/2022 23:44

Josie Gibson - formerly Big Brother, now on morning TV. Her voice/accent does my head in. I am not a massive fan of the south west (Bristol/somerset) accent, but hers is SO annoying. She really lays it on.

Danny Dyer and Georgia Toffolo - see above. DD lays the wideboy cockney accent on massively, and Toffolo's fake posh voice gives me the rage. I HATE people who pretend to be more posh than they are. Don't mind proper poshos, but stop pretending you're posh/upper class when you're working class/lower middle class, it's embarrassing.

Katie Price; hideous excuse for a human being. Should be in jail for all the shit she's pulled.

Phil and Holly AND Lorraine. All past their sell by date, and P and H are on FAR too much stuff on TV. Their private jokes and hilarious giggling fits boil my piss. Also fucks me off that they ALL get every school holiday off, and several weeks on top too. Phil AND Lorraine don't even have any children under 20!

Keith Lemon too - not been funny for a decade, and the Celebrity Juice 'humour' is crass and outdated.

Agree Stacey Dooley's voice is horrible.

Emma Watson; Irksome, over privileged irritating opinionated wokie who has no CLUE what life is like for normal people.

Lily Allen. See above ^

Denise Welch--- ooh let's talk about meeeeeeeeeee, me me me......... Listen to my sob stories and life problems. MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Diana Abbott - loathe her so much. Awful woman.

Jeremy Vine - vile over privileged wokie git who can't see any flaws or faults in cyclists. 'there are incredibly few fatalities caused by cyclists per year' he bleats. Yep true. Doesn't change the fact that most of them are hideously arrogant wankers with no thought for ANYONE but themselves. Makes my skin crawl he does.

Molly Mae from Love Island. 'We all have the same 24 hours.' ANYONE can make it with enough drive and ambition. Fuck off you blonde bint!

Paris Fury - my dog is a pain in the arse and I'll be glad when he's dead. YEP she did actually say that. Putrid woman.

Maya Jama. Horrid woman. I would get banned if I put my real opinions on her.

Priti Patel

Nadine Dorries

George Galloway

Piers Morgan

Laurence Fox

Morrissey

I like Tom Cruise as an actor but not as a person

MummyPebble · 12/06/2022 23:55

Benedict Cucumber or whatever his fucking stupid name is, the missing link freaky looking fuck. Looks like he should be basking on a hot rock somewhere. Literally have a visceral physical reaction to him. Awful

also not keen on Eddie Redmayne, Matt Smith and David Tennant but to a much lesser extent, they just make my skin crawl a bit.

Lollipopping · 13/06/2022 00:07

I agree with every suggestion on this thread. I don't think I've read a single post and thought 'oh I actually like that celebrity'. Brings me to the conclusion that all celebrities believe their own hype and are just an ego on legs

LakieLady · 13/06/2022 00:09

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.

yea of course, think that's when the missing link made it onto my radar actually. Horrific creature

OhHoHoOhNo · 13/06/2022 00:48

L'enfer c'est les autres.

All the aforementioned people. All paid far too much, or if they aren't, far too desperate to be.

I felt this way about Savile as a child. Creepy.

I used to think Philip schofield haunted my stair case when I was about 8.

Don't understand the love for ant and Dec. Thay fella that presents catchphrase is about the best.

The BBC would cover an ikea malm in glitter sticky back plastic and call it a television show. Ch 4 just gets people to parade around in a thong because they don't have the same access to the gratuitous pre glued glitter. It's all vomit inducing.
All the tv/internet today is geared up to inform us that
*you have to be under 22 to be worthy
*according to 2022 you probably have MH problems but we'll just incorrectly refer to it as "mental health" and we'll all self diagnose.
*you don't need to take any responsibility, it's all the government.
*everyone who isn't on the bones of their bum is privileged except for celebrities because they're all doing amazing things for morale/ "the nation"
*if you don't have orange skin you're a nobody
*if you don't have a tattoo you're a nobody
*if you are between the sizes of 14-20 you're a nobody

Also can't stand will ferrel or the whiny bloke off little nicky

Joe Swash, Philip Scholfield, Shane Richie, Danny Dyer, Maddie Hill [Nancy from Eastenders] ,Colm Farell, Sean from Corrie, Rylan...

Cliff Richard indeed! Something so so creepy and unnatural about him.

And a bit random but the former (I mean from forever ago) Radio 1 DJ Mike Read. The very thought of him makes me want to hurl.

SurfBox · 13/06/2022 04:21

Oh another 2-kym Marsh and Cheryl Cole, she has some good enough tunes in fairness but find her insincere and false. Hated how she never apologized or owned it when she beat the toilet attendant but because she was pretty it was brushed aside. Showed her true colours.

SurfBox · 13/06/2022 04:30

I like Tom Cruise as an actor but not as a person

He hasn't had a decent script in over 20 years though. Every film he does is the same repetitive big budget action crap or 100th sequel crap,he's become a mere sell out and 1 trick pony rather than the versatile actor he once was.

Compare his scripts of today to the quality scripts he did like Jerry McGuire,Born on 4th of July, RainMan etc...

SurfBox · 13/06/2022 04:31

*Laura Tobin - weather woman on Good Morning Britain. I regularly say ‘oh fuck off Laura’ when she pops up in the morning.

Alex Beresford - another weather person. Feel he’s a smarmy fucker*

they are hardly 'celebrities'
