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".

David Tennant, insufferable.

This is who came to my mind straight away 😷

David Tennant, insufferable.

AND he always looks like he needs a good wash.

VickyEadieofThigh · 18/05/2025 11:47

Gary Lineker. Absolute twat.

Giles Coran 😷

Agree with David Tennant but also Chris Ramsey. Don't know how Rosie puts him with him - he is insufferable!

DrDameKatyDeniseInExile · 18/05/2025 12:21

I’m sure she’s lovely, but Joanna Page. Me and DD watched the animal rescue programme she was in and she seems to burst in to tears at the drop of hat, so dramatically emotional, would be like living with a Catherine Tate character.

(editing to say, I agree with every single one named so far, too 😁).

Prince Harry. Always looks as though he's on the edge of a tantrum. You'd be walking on eggshells all day, wondering what was going to set him off next.

@drspouseSteve Backshall is married to Olympian Helen Glover. I heard a radio interview with her before the last Olympics about motherhood and training and she explained how they combine timetables to make sure one of them is always around for the children. I the lifestyle wouldn’t suit me and you obviously can never tell what happens behind closed doors, but it did sound like a very balanced relationship that worked for their family

Surely all of them. Except Matthew Mcfadyen.

I love him. Understated. Classy. Seems really happy with the lovely Keeley.

Tom Cruise. I imagine it’s like living with a personal trainer-life coach who polices the fridge and sets alarms on his phone to remind him to reach out and check in with key celebrity friends. Exhausting, in every way, and all the more enraging because it would all be so cheerful.

And of course, celebrity boiled egg, Greg(g) Wallace.

unlikelywitch · 18/05/2025 12:50

Robbie Williams. Have you seen the video he took while his wife was in labour? Attention seeking tit.

Mark Whalberg. I actually like him, but his workout routine would piss me off. Doesn't he wake up at 4am and go to bed at 8pm to maximise working out or some shit.

Its too much!

He's also committed serious racially motivated violence

Needtosoundoffandbreathe · 18/05/2025 12:54

Richard Madeley. He's been unbearable for over 40 years as far as I can see.

PermanentTemporary · 18/05/2025 12:58

Absolutely all of them. Imagine having to think what you look like before leaving the house.

('TV's Mr Sex SHAMED by FRUMPY wife Perm putting bins out at their £400,000 home in LEGGINGS. On page 5, Sarah Vine on why leftist Gen X wives are the most likely to let themselves go. On page 7, double spread of SEXY casual wear to make him think about revving the lawnmower at home')

Ben Fogle. Women drooling at every turn.

I once randomly shared an otherwise deserted train platform with Ben Fogle. He was on his phone to someone (I think his partner or wife or possibly his PA) and let's just say he did not come across as pleasant. I was quite surprised tbh

Andoutcomethewolves · 18/05/2025 13:03

James Corden would obviously be awful but I'm going with Chris Martin. Pompous git. And he might sing to me 😬

TotHappy · 18/05/2025 13:03

I think Steve Backshall is my celebrity crush, actually! Dd and ds also went through an obsessed phase (over now) and I did find him a bit puppyish but easy on the eye!

LoveTKO · 18/05/2025 13:03

Jim Carey. Seems like he can’t sit still.

BruceAndNosh · 18/05/2025 13:04

Charlie Stayt from BBC Breakfast.
You know he'd hog the bathroom spending hours perfecting his hair.
And he'd wake me up at 4am going to work.

Colin Farrell. Could be wrong but I imagine he'd be a hard dog to keep on the porch.

CarrieMoonbeams · 18/05/2025 13:10

Any of them who do impressions of other celebrities. Showing my age here, but the Mike Yarwood show when I was a child irritated the hell out of me. He was shite.

And that bit at the end when he'd say "And this .... is me!" Wow, really, never would have guessed that! And then he'd stand there and sing "You are the sunshine of my life". Oh just piss off, Mike.

Les Dennis used to do stupid impersonations too. Attention seeking twats.

Slightly more current one, yup, Tom Cruise. You'd need to put a cover over him to stop him talking, like my Nana used to do with her budgie at night.

ToWhitToWhoo · 18/05/2025 13:11

Any really!- the lifestyle of a celebrity's partner wouldn't appeal to me at all -though the money wouldn't be bad! And most of then seem to 'go through' partners at a rapid rate, and not be exactly known for their fidelity. But especially Tom Cruise (that Scientology rubbish!); Jim Carrey and all other anti-vaccine campaigners; and Morrissey for his support for far-right-wingers,
