Inspired by DS obsession with Steve Backshall.

He would be off round the world "too busy to do childcare darling", would come home reeking of bar poo, and would insist on taking the children to play with venomous snakes "it won't hurt them if they don't bother it".

Stephen Mulhern. I can't bare him yet everyone else seems to love him.

Coffeeishot · 20/05/2025 09:11

Lorraine Kelly I say Lorraine Kelly as bad a Fred Elliot (Corrie) for repeating her sentences

I see your Lorraine Kelly and raise you James "the key to this classic, classic sauce" Martin, who when he is trying to ascertain what got his guest into their thing, just waffles "You started ... I mean, well, how did ... what, what, how, what ..." and the guest will realise that's their turn to speak then James will say "Well, you say that but I can see you're interested in this classic, classic dish. They key to this classic, classic dish ..." and "butter", "a decent amount of butter", "not just a bit of butter". Why oh why oh why does he have to take the butter off the pat with his fingers - just use a knife James, like normal people.

Note to self: the key to improving my mood is to stop watching classic, classic episodes of James Martin.

Pretty much any celebrity IMO. Though I do admit if I had a chance with Alice Roberts or Angela Scanlon, I'd be very tempted. Any Hollywood celebs, absolutely not.

Lorraine Kelly is really really annoying, everything is really really great ir really really fantastic.
Although maybe at home she is the real Lorraine Kelly, not the Lorraine Kelly who doesn't pay as much tax as its not her?!?

Paddy McGuinness. Unbearable.

I think David Tennant wins. Funny how many of us used to like him, until he showed his true colours.

ssd · 20/05/2025 10:26

What did David Tennant do?

Santina · 20/05/2025 10:35

Michael Ball, he would be constantly singing sh!te songs and blowing smoke up himself.

He told Kemi Badenoch to shut up, which made him go up in my estimation, but not in other people's.

MB has been with his female partner, Cathy McGowan for 31 years!

A friend of mine worked extensively with David many years ago , he was only 22 or so then, and said he was absolutely lovely, thoughtful , talented and she thought the world of him…she is so disgusted and disappointed in him now

He says it's average

Average is no problem, its the fine specimen of a man that would keep me going back for more 😂 Id be ruined and grateful for it!

Any reform MP. They'd be dead by the end of the week. And they do count as celebrities, because they are crap MPs

He had a parachute accident when he was 18, which left him impotent. I wondered if the 'he wouldn't bother you much' comment referred to that.

David Tennant, insufferable.

And his Welsh podcast chum. I like the Welsh people in general -just can’t remember this bloke’s name.

He actually said he hoped she'd cease to exist. Among all the people who ever disagreed with him, he chose her to wish out of existence. A heck of a lot of men also disagree with him, some of whom have a big platform, and she was a Cabinet member at the time but not Tory leader.
But no, he chooses the Black woman to tell to shut up.

I understood that he targeted her as the Equalities minister.

ssd · 20/05/2025 13:16

Ah, so he said that because she is black, not because she a far right wing tory???

Okayyyyy

drspouse · 20/05/2025 13:29

There are plenty of far right Tories who are white and male.

Another vote for any of them here. Although I quite like Stephen Mangan and Richard Osman ...

Although I'm not a lesbian I'm going to vote out Victoria Coren Mitchell and Steph McGovern, they get right on my nerves. I like only connect but I can't watch it because Victoria CM thinks she's so cowing hilarious. Bleugh!

Stephen Mangan is gorgeous!

And his dodgy friendships and how he slides areound questions about Neil Gaiman.

There's a picture building up

CherryRipe1 · 20/05/2025 13:39

Russell Kane. I'm sure he's a nice enough bloke but I can imagine he's manic, chaotic and hyper and doesn't sleep much.

But he targeted the Equalities minister (presumably because this is an equalities debate?)
